Harrassment at workplace

Hello, I have been an excellent employee for Neiman Marcus Group. Recently, I had to go on medical/sick leave due to being ill; I had all the doctors document and HR paid me and accepted me back to work. The issue is: I was harrassed several times by co-workers while being on sick leave and when retrurning to work. First, one of the employees posted comment on facebok network visible to everyone - making racial remarks that hurt feelings, now when I returned to work - someone damaged my mailbox and wrote inappropriate comments regarding my hygene in my emloyee handbook. I do not feel comfortable being at work as some people also ignore me. I understand that by taking sick leave I made lives of my coworked little bit difficult (they had to work OT) but I am stressed about theit behavior now. Is this considerd sexual/racial harrassment? What do I do? Do I get UC if I resign due to this issue? Thanks!

Re: Harrassment at workplace

Did you notify management of the harassment? Did you tell HR?
