Got a workplace bully? Do this next

Today, we are diving deep into a topic that affects 30% of adults in traditional workplaces and 43% of remote workers - workplace bullying.

I've witnessed and experienced bullying in my own career, as I recount in my video, "Dealing with a Difficult Boss or Toxic Work Environment". In today's video, we'll explore the numerous forms of workplace bullying, its impact, and strategies to counteract it. I delve into my personal experiences and shed light on the phenomenon of gaslighting, a psychological manipulation technique often used in bullying.

Alongside my personal insights, I discuss key points from a valuable Harvard Business Review article on how bullying manifests at work. Together, we uncover the nature of bullies, from the loud "Screamer" to the sly "Schemer", and explore how star performers are often targeted.

We also delve into coping mechanisms, how to recognize signs of bullying, when to seek support, and how to stand your ground. Remember, you're not alone in this and you deserve better.

As part of this journey, I offer tools like my Career Mapping tool, linked in the description, to help you uncover your unique strengths and guide your career journey.

I’m dealing with Someone like this now in the workplace. This guy is absolutely disgusting, I really want to give up. I believe he’s trying to set me up to be fired! Individuals who try to sabotage another worker is just evil and pathetic to me. It’s very demoralizing to deal with such a person.

My supervisor is totally toxic gossiping with my co workers all day she micromanaged me every day such an ugly environment thank God I found a better job 🙏🏼

Unfortunately, my supervisor is part of the problem

I recently got fired from making a formal complaint to my bullying and despicable line manager. Remember guys, leave the place. No place deserves our value for dehumanizing us.

People at work are not your friends. Knowing that is the biggest step toward not being a target of bullying or manipulation. The next step is learning to speak up when you start to resent something.

I always attract workplace bullying out of being a high performer. HR and bosses have never helped so I changed my behaviour and stopped being such a high performer. It’s a private company not a worker-owned cooperative the relationship is entirely transactional. Only work hard enough not to get fired. If they wanted more out of you then they would treat you better.

I had a coworker try to gaslight me and I pulled up receipts. I’m on guard going forward.

Yes this bullying has been happening since high school, it’s always that one person that lacks confidence in themselves, and the bully tends to manipulate others to make me look bad! People bully me because I am confident nice polite down to earth, going above and beyond at my job and lazy people hate that. I’m always thinking positive even though my personal life is broken specially since I lost one of my kids. I’m afraid to complain because people tend to believe the bully lies over the truth

So glad you mentioned bullying at the workplace is trauma

[lanaigirl]

I developed PTSD from a toxic work environment. Bullying is dangerous when companies continue to turn a blind eye. Companies should be held liable for turning a blind eye. Note, I was in a high level HR position and bullied by the boss. I was being forced to do things to employees that were not right. I fought for the employees but in return I was psychologically tormented by upper management and still suffer today.

Dont go into it, just run if its serious. Do not deal with evil, dont escalate, no HR, no manager involved. They know! Find something, do not show or talk that you want to leave, dont give them time and just leave. Dont tell them the reason you quit and dont tell where you go. They can try to harm you even when you change company.

Number 4 .
Stand up for your self !
The question why we atracting this behaviour ....? They target the people who are not like them, people who have integrity that is someting bullies do not have . I'm a target who fire back at them, so what ever they throw at me will come back to them .
People do not let assholes to destroy who you are . Called them out in the meeting front of other coworkers, they are cowards allways operating in the group, you need strong personality to deal with them .

And they blame you for being the troublemaker if you decide to speak out and ask for help. I’ll just shut my mouth and not interact at all.

The bullies at my job are the ones that wouldn't no one else will hire!!

If one confronts one's boss, who is the bully, they can fire you.

This happened to me so many times and I was fired so many times due to bullies in the work place. Today, I have mastered thus since 2016 when God told me to study Narcissim. Then it explained covert, overt, and Gaslighting. I learned this like I was getting a degree in it. Now, I minister and help people about it. I just ministered to a lady about it while at a dental visit. EVERYTHING YOU SAID HERE MS. CLARKE (Dr. Clarke I prefer to call you) is just what I said to her. It is traumatic, awful social, emotional and mental abuse. It even happened to me before in church by a pastor. No one should ever go through this.
You are a blessing. Now, I boldly confront and call you out and you to stay away from me, or I'll put that pen in your life called harassment. I'm subscribed and now your biggest fan.

My boss is bully who bullied an autistic girl so bad that she took her own life. Even worse the company covered it over and that woman is still there. She is now doing the same thing to others.

[shannonyoshikawa]

I am engaged in suing the supervisor for this type of behavior.

It is so refreshing to hear this. When I told my brother I was getting bullied he told me "I don't care" and assumed I was exaggerating. My mother was the same. Needless to say years later I treat them with open disrespect and dissent and I'm still awaiting the day they admit they were wrong. Family plays a massive role with bullying too. Doing nothing is just as bad as doing it yourself. I had no support from anyone in the world when it happened and basically received the message of go f*** yourself and "man up" from society as a collective. Message received. Now I am the cold hearted psychopath they always wanted but I'm not sure they're happy about it.

HR is looking out for the company NOT you. If you go to HR, you will probably get fired next.
