That sucks. If he would of respected everyone regardless of religion he’d have a job and work for his money instead of trying to get a judge to get it for him.
My grandmother was lead through a car dealership mechanic shop. One guy backed up and hit her( she was on foot). She asked to have her medical bills paid. ( faint, dizziness etc) they said No. so she sued for her medical bills lawyer bills and about 100 grand just because the assholes made her go to court verses the right thing.

Encourage the harrassed employee to sue. Counter sue yourself

Nah, all someone has to do is lawyer up and say it was based on race or their sex. Then it's up to the business to prove it wasn't.
This doesn't work if you're a straight white male.

Nope...
Once you settle with one, it’ll happen over and over and over again. The ambulance chasing attorneys will start hunting for any disgruntled employees because they know it’ll be a quick check. Basically, it will start a snow ball effect.

I assume you are not in an at-will state?

big companies do this as a first line strategy, particularly if they are a service providing company, my company has been shelling out money to frivolous, money seeking assholes for decades just to shut them up, economics, cheaper to pay them a little to go away than risk an protracted, expensive, public law suit

See, that’s my fear.
What’s the saying? Give them an inch, they’ll take a mile.
These idiots have no idea how harmful they are to these companies, and the overall economy.

they see it as peanuts, and a cost of doing business in the grand scheme of things, I don't like it either because I think it encourages others to give it a try, but they stopped asking for my input long ago

Long story short, a manager of mine was harassing an employee by calling him a gift from god while mocking his religion. When I was made aware, I fired him instantly
Yea he can't do that. Puts your whole bidness at risk of religious discrimination suit.
frick that cocky manager having balls to think he could say that shite without consequences. Leak his name here. Let's send his wife some gay porn addressed to him.

That is a true statement.

You fired him instantly yet had documents for corrective action?
Posted on 10/16/19 at 8:10 am to TigerOnTheMountain
Uh this is evidence. Abort. And look at whether your state is a strict liability state for manager harassment.

it's pretty hard to get fired from my company, easier if you a white male(not a joke,) but when a flag is raised about an individual that is out of line, the company will wait months, maybe more to allow that individual to help them build a case for termination and have a thick file waiting for when they decide to finally pull the trigger

Most states are employment at will states, meaning the employer can terminate an employee for any reason or no reason, as long as the reason is not an unlawful reason
read this part two or three times for everyone touting how you can be fired for whatever with no consequences. Now read it again. Let it sink it good.

Did you document the harassment?

You're good, probably.

I get that but he said he fired him instantly when he found out. If he fired him instantly he wouldn't have previous documentation of corrective actions being in place. I'm going to assume he meant when he found out "this time" after previously warning him of what would happen if he did it again.

What sucks is that the OP could be sued either way. If he didn't take action on the manager, the employee could sue on claims of hostile work environment where management turned their head on corrective action when informed of what was going on. In this particular case, they did what I would have done and fired the dumbass manager. So now they're getting it from dumbass.
Just as a sidenote people, if you're going to be managing anybody - fricking read up on the rules and guidelines of labor laws/ethics/HR type stuff. That's part of your job. You don't just walk around like Billy Badass with a title and do whatever you want and treat employees however you want. You're getting paid more to be in charge of a group of employees. So learn that part of it, too. Mocking religion, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, etc. is all a HUGE no-no.
