Empowering Ways to Stand Up for Yourself at Work part 2

1- Unite with coworkers against a bully.

Bullies tend to assume their victims will stay quiet out of shame. If you’re being bullied by a coworker, don’t suffer in silence. Reach out to other coworkers who you trust and ask them if they've had any issues with the bully in the past. Bullying behavior is usually a pattern, so other people will probably come forward. Band together, discuss the situation, and support each other.

  • Come up with a game plan together. Your boss is more likely to take your complaint seriously if other employees back you up.

 

2- Look at the situation objectively

Some issues require a stronger response than others. If you’re being bullied, treated unfairly, or harassed at work, you absolutely need to stand up for yourself. Responding in the heat of the moment is never wise, though, so take a moment to step back and look at the situation before you escalate things. Unacceptable behaviors include:

  • Coworkers gossiping about you or purposely excluding you
  • Verbal abuse, yelling, or using profanity
  • Purposely unclear tasks and unreasonable workloads
  • Employees taking credit for your work
  • Offensive jokes, nicknames, or comments
  • Constant criticism, discrimination, or undeserved punishment
  • Blocking opportunities for training or advancement

 

3- Collect evidence for a formal complaint.

You'll need some proof if you plan to make a formal complaint. Try keeping a daily journal to jot down incidents as they occur. Include the date, time, and as much detail about the event as possible (including names of any witnesses). Save any memos, emails, and other written communication, too.

 

4- Bring issues to your supervisor first.

This is the most professional way to handle a problem. If you need to take action or make a formal complaint about someone, go to your immediate supervisor first (assuming this person isn’t the perpetrator). If you escalate an issue over your boss's head, they'll be blind sighted when the formal investigation starts (which doesn’t reflect well on you).

  • You might say, do you have a few minutes to speak to me privately in your office? I would love to get your perspective on some things I’ve been dealing with lately.”

 

5- Go to HR if nothing improves.

Do what you need to do to stand up for your rights at work. If your boss downplays or ignores your complaints, feel free to escalate the issue to the next level of management or go straight to HR. Be sure to bring all of your evidence to back up your claims.
