Workplace bullying is a pervasive issue that can have devastating effects on employees’ mental health, productivity, and overall well-being. Recognizing the signs is crucial to addressing this behavior.
Eight common indicators of workplace bullying include:
- Constant criticism that devalues your work
- Colleagues or managers undermining your efforts or stealing your ideas
- Excessive micromanagement
- Spreading false rumors or gossip
- Being intentionally ignored or excluded
- Verbal abuse, insults, or humiliation
- Manipulative performance reviews
- Setting unrealistic expectations to set you up for failure
Ignoring these signs can perpetuate a toxic work environment. Instead:
- Document incidents
- Report bullying to HR or supervisors
- Seek support from colleagues, friends, or professionals
- Consider seeking outside help or legal advice
You deserve a safe, respectful, and supportive workplace. Let’s work together to create a culture of kindness, empathy, and respect.
