Being psychologically stressed out at work is not in and of itself hostile work environment. Read the US law section in the link you posted. The employee actions have to violate preestablished rights or part of thr employee's contract. Not merely ramping up work expectations and duties to keep your job.

What if you are asked to do superhuman efforts, surely there is some limit no? Read this absolutely massive document and architect an implementation by tomorrow. Get it right! DOE doesn't accept mistakes!
There's a difference between "being" stressed out -- and your employer taking specific actions to make you stressed out so that you quit.

Ramping up work expectations

With the specific intent of causing the employee to quit, you meant to say. This in fact fits precisely with the language of the California Supreme Court in the section you referred to.
