No, an employee doesn't have to be violent or angry to create a hostile work environment; severe or pervasive threatening behavior, verbal abuse, intimidation, humiliation, or offensive conduct (even without physical violence) can qualify, especially if tied to a protected characteristic like race or sex, but mere rudeness or personality clashes usually don't meet the legal standard for unlawful harassment. A hostile environment must be objectively and subjectively severe, pervasive, and unwelcome.
No a hostile environment doesn't necessarily have to be violent or angry behaviors. It could be abusive words or phrases, negative stereotyping, offensive jokes, it may also include derogatory statements or may include saying or doing things that make another person feel inferior or uncomfortable. You should always be mindful of the type of humor, and certain statements you make in the workplace, think about how your actions and statements can effect others.
