Example: several of my former coworkers are from Mexico, Peru and Argentina, meaning they share Spanish as a common language.
I used to practice Spanish with them, but my last charge (like a ward’s manager) would yell at us to stop it, use English only. She would get very angry really fast if she heard anything in a language she didn’t understand.
I find it stupid, because some of them would use Spanish to better explain to the new nurses how to do certain procedures, but maybe I’m missing something?
That feels like it butts it’s head against various other laws.
Triggering someone’s PTSD routinely could easily be considered an unsafe and abusive work environment.
And if the employee is aware they are triggering and then keep doing it. At that point it very well could be seen as malicious.
PTSD does not fuck around for many.
