Bullying at work: Grabbing the bull by its horns
Unfortunately, bullying is all too common in the workplace. But there are things you can do to stand up to the bullying and make your workplace a better place.
Here are some tips:
1. Speak up. If you’re being bullied, don’t keep it to yourself. Talk to a trusted friend, family member, or co-worker about what’s going on. And if you feel comfortable, speak to your boss or HR department.
2. Keep a record. Keep a written record of the bullying, including dates, times, and witnesses. This can be helpful if you decide to take action against the bully.
3. Stand up for yourself. If you’re being bullied, don’t just take it. Stand up for yourself in a calm and confident way. This will show the bully that you’re not going to be a victim.
4. Seek support. If you’re being bullied, it’s important to get support from others. Talk to a counselor or therapist who can help you deal with the stress of being bullied.
5. Know your rights. If you’re being bullied at work, know your rights.
