Bullying in the workplace...
I have a couple coworkers that continuously bully me and harass me every single day. They judge without even asking me what happened or why..they just talk and whisper and give me dirty looks. They even confront me and blame me for not being a team player. Am I wrong to avoid interacting with them? If I do try to help which is my nature, I do it wrong. I’ve talked to my manager and administrator about these issues for months. She doesn’t do anything about it. Because I suffer from PTSD and severe anxiety, I requested to be moved to a different work area. I just moved my desk today and omg you would think I took their arm off. One other girl quit! She harassed me too but not as much..but as she was leaving she said I manipulated the system and she other things, none of it was true of course..please I need to know what to do because I’ve had 3 anxiety attacks so far.. #Ineedmyjob in FL
Wtw? Win what?
Not sure I really understand what you are going through, I never associated with my coworkers and they bit__ed and moaned until the CEO called me into the office and said he was letting me go, it wasn't one particular thing but a bunch of little things, I just smiled punched out and headed to the unemployment office, took a 6 month vacation and then found me another job. Just that simple.
If you can't hear it's obvious you don't get it. If you believe man is running the show you just don't know. Close your mouth if you got to fight by yourself cause you sure as hell want win!
OMG thought that was something kids do!! So sorry but u need to take this higher! A lawyer n fact! If this doesn't work u really need to find another job as no one should have to put up with this! When u work with people that's it u just work with them and have your own personal life away from work!Great luck
I really feel for you. Have you tried looking for another job? You are better than this situation. Obvious to me you need to make a change for you mental health you can't live like this it is a job not your life. Try to be strong and get out of this toxic environment. Good luck.
Just from what I have read, I’m thinking this is not where you should be working. From time to time someone will say that someone is bullying me, but not most of them. You seem to be over sensitive to the point of slight paranoia. Perhaps you would be happier with a transfer or a different company. Avoidance refusing to interact with them will only make the working relationship worse. Going to HR with a complaint could also work against you. Sorry it’s not what you are wanting to hear
First of all do you like your job, I know sometime we have too work to suppose our family but don't let people have that type of control over YOU. Speak /help when needed and do your job, we are not at work to be best friends, they are only co-workers, leave it at that. and the girl who quit, AWESOME, maybe another will leave soon. Take your power back so with the anxiety (like Me) don't let it control you, you control it. feel nervous, breath, go outside, in the cooler, eat ice, take your mind to a calm place, run water in the bathroom and just listen. Do your job and take back your mind. good luck
You yourself said you have PTSD and severe anxiety so what if this is just part of your illness? Could the problem be your interpretation of their personalities and their interactions with you? Sounds like a bit of paranoia may be mixed in. Try not giving a hoot about what they say to each other. In the end does it really matter? You are there to earn a paycheck, not to make lifelong friends or to find your way to heaven. It is just a job, get your satisfaction and self worth elsewhere. Make it like "mind over matter"... why should you mind, because they do not really matter. Keep you eye on your job and let them be. Let the "street lawyers" practice their law elsewhere, their legal advice is worthless.
Hello, NANA66, Based upon your post, I would start looking for another job and also get counsel from an attorney to see if this meets the criteria for a hostile work environment in your area. No one needs such UHD (Unnecessary Human Drama) in the workplace, or anywhere else, for that matter. Also, I would encourage you to seek wise counsel from a counselor (due to you PTSD) in order to see if there were any issues on your part that may have contributed in some way to some of this UHD. By doing that, you can also keep personal accountability in check as well. I hope this helps.
File an rep complaint of harassment that will wake your employers up say your being sexually harrased by both male and female employees mention names and when they get to these people in the investigation to answer for the accusations they will get the message that you are coming after them.
