Know Your Employee Rights
If you and your boss is having issues, the initial step would be to pull him/her to the side and talk to them. Let them know how you feel and that you do not have a problem with working for them. If the communication is resolved, then simply move on and keep executing your job duties. Just give it some time and recognize that things should get better. If all does not work out, take it to the next level and speak with their boss. A Washington DC employment law expert can assist you in the discrimination situation by submitting a complaint and perhaps a lawsuit. Every person deserves the right to not work in a hostile environment.
