Re: discrimination

Frankly, you haven't given enough information to give a very definitive answer.

Are you a member of a protected class?

Do the jokes make a "hostile work environment?"-more of a judgment call, particularly if you are not a member of the class joked about.

Perhaps you can contact the Utah Labor Commission of more information about your particular circumstances. Here's the link to get you started:

Good luck!
