Similarly, the AJ found that both male and female employees in ORW were
faced with an abusive work environment and that the behavior to which
S1 subjected complainant, such as screaming, slamming doors in her face
and pounding his fists on the desk, was his regular behavior towards all
employees. Numerous witnesses, male and female, testified that S1 was
not a good supervisor for whom to work, that he was loud, became easily
angry, and ran the office with a “feudal management style.” Again,
the AJ’s finding that male and female employees alike were subjected
to an abusive work environment is supported by substantial evidence.
As such, her finding that complainant failed to establish that she was
subjected to harassment based on a protected class was proper. We discern
no basis on which to disturb the AJ’s finding of no discrimination.
