| Ive always wondered about this. How common is this really? How bad is it Have you ever experienced this? |
| workplace gossips can escalate to bullying for sure, how often? depends on how bored the employees are i guess |
| I hope workplace bullying is a thing, or I have wasted my time gradually eroding Sandra's self esteem. |
 |
| Workplace bullying is a norm everywhere in the form of gossip. It is best to ignore such stuff, and not try to contribute to it. |
 |
| Happened once when I was real young and got a summer job in the factory my sister work for. Some of the the permanent workers were clearly former school bullies that stopped growing up mentally a little too early. And some of them didn't really like that I was related to an executive (my sister) and they somehow thought I got hired with no interview. They were a pain to deal with and sincerely they were all kind of dumb to the point of almost pitying them. Still managed to work all summer and sincerely was happy when I quit that place. My sister still work there to this day and apparently all those dumbasses have all been replaced by immigrants and refugees. |
| Yes, bullying exist in a workplace. I've never been bullied at work, but I had many fights with co-workers. I also have been threatened by a co-worker. But I simply don't care, I come to my work to earn money not making friends. I also say very quickly what I think and I can't shut my mouth about certain things. And some people don't like it, which I don't care about. I also hate gossip and if a co-worker has something to say, then say it straight in my face and not behind my back. I'm now on a very toxic workplace and people already have been fired for toxic behaviour. Especially gossip and nepotism are very common on a workplace. Also one of the reason why I don't belong to a group and stay independed among my co-workers. You can go every road with me, if you respect me, you get respect back. If you disrespect me, you get disrespect back. If you bully me, I will bully back. And I won't forget anything and if a co-worker ask a favor while that person never helped with my favors than I would simply reject and tell that person to do it themselves and why. Many other co-workers also like it to work with me, and we always have amazing shifts. |

| Yes, in Japan it might be even mandatory sometimes. I once worked in that place where you had to bully your coworkers (usually your kouhai) by basically walking behind them all day and repeating what they had just said in a taunting/mocking way (because apparently you can't just let your employees have any sort of confidence in themselves since that would be bad for business). The managers were always displeased with me because I refused to partake in that degeneracy. And you also weren't allowed to enter to workplace unless you sing the "company's hymn" or whatever beforehand. Stupid cultist morons... |
| Yes, of course. I had this experience where this one supervisor attempted to get me fired by manipulating rumors and paperwork. This started because I once called her out for something contradictory and stupid she does, and for context this person had been doing that for quite a while, no one was just pointing it out. So she basically tried to get me cancelled. There was also this one other supervisor at work who forced me to pay the largest contribution for drinks when the team went out to eat. He forced the manager to allow me to be absent on my birthday and this was my way of paying him. This is one of the many reasons why I'd rather not be indebted to people |

| Ehh... I haven't really seen anything that I would call "bullying" here. Some people get into some squabbles for sure, but it usually gets sorted out by HR, or someone else before it gets too far. @CrowBlack I don't think that is a very common occurrence... not that I have heard of anyway. 149597871 said: Now that's just meanYes, in Japan it might be even mandatory sometimes.

 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| I think it is, but not at every workplace. Luckily haven't experienced it, but have heard stories from other people. Sometimes the bullying is even more childish than at schools. Crow_Black said: Wow, what is a woke employee and how would you know beforehand? Does this mean you don't want to hire any women or anyone who doesn't look like you? Seems like you're the problem then.Oh yeah, workplace bullying does exist, false accusations for sexual harassment and also framing someone for shit they didn't do is only just the tip of the iceberg. Usually by women, who want to get ahead in the corporate ladder and make metoo even more meaningless than it already is now honestly. So yeah, keep those cameras on and keep to yourself at all times honestly and never hire woke employees at all. |

Imagine having to experience that in addition to sexism and harassment as a woman |

Imagine having to experience that in addition to sexism and harassment as a woman It is still obsessed with those things. The politeness, however, is directed towards customers or people outside one's "circle" in general (could be strangers, authorities, people from other companies, relatives of co-workers, etc.) For example, just because the staff at a hotel or a restaurant is very polite to you as a customer doesn't mean that there isn't bullying and even much darker stuff happening in there behind closed doors. And yes, women have a much harder time in general when it comes to that, and there is also maternity harassment, which is very common.

That's likely because the "anti-woke" influencers and outlets go out of their way report every such case that takes place to push their agenda, so people are left with the illusion it is something widespread even if the actual frequency is <0.01%. |
| It’s real. The trick that I’ve learned over the years is when starting work at a new place, figure out immediately who has a petty or fake personality and just spend the rest of your time avoiding the hell out of them. Don’t have any conversations that aren’t about work, don’t comment on their work, don’t comment on their comments etc. Regardless of whether you’re on their good side or not as long as you don’t give them ammunition they won’t bring you any trouble. Then you can get along with everyone else and enjoy yourself. |
daily reminder to try not to take it all so seriously! |
| We had a girl put Viagra into some of the other servers' drinks as a "prank". She got fired for assault since one of them had a heart condition. |
 |
| Bullying maybe no, it's just a lot of gossiping at least at my workplace. |
| Yes. The sad truth in life is that age does not confer wisdom, and that us adults are not that mature in the first place. As an adult, it is much easier to avoid though. Just do not get involved, or walk away from your job. The latter I recommend if your bosses are just assholes. It is easy to just show up, do your work, and then leave. The biggest issue I have seen is normally with women being on the receiving end of bonafide misogyny because interacting with women is hard apparently. |

| Here in the UPS warehouse, there are definitely people that we shit talk here and there. Some people legit don't fucking shower, or there's just some people that do literally nothing. |
| We had a huge meeting about it the other day. It is definately a thing and it happens all the time in every workplace. |
| @Felori Yeah, and let's not forget that internet algorithms feed you the type of information that you like seeing. You watch a single moron complain about women too much, you then you get 50 similar recommendations the next day and start thinking the wokepocalypse is coming. Besides, most of those people don't have that much work experience to rely on, so they are far more easily manipulated. |
| I've never experienced it but there were attempts on which I was quick to cut them. Workplace gossip is common you just have to handle it in a calm manner, my best advice is just to avoid getting into fruitless gossip about other workers, if someone inadvertently tells you something about someone else just pretend that you care and carry on, people will eventually find out that you're not interested or they just think you do care about their problems so they leave you alone because you're an ''ally''. That's how I deal with people who I don't like but I still have to share a workplace with, I just pretend I'm a friend and they think I care about their daily struggles but at the end of the day I just want to have a friendly work environment without much drama. |
''Enemies' gifts are no gifts and do no good.'' |
| Of course. My mom has experienced it in multiple different workplaces. |
 |
| Yes, and it happens in my office all the time. My boss and supervisor are assholes who like shitting on people to make themselves feel better. |
Take care of yourself |
| i did experience it, but have since forgiven the guy. i think he bullied me cause he was jealous. when i was a child i was often teased/teasing bullied, but not serious bullied. but yeah its definetly a thing |

| I'm certain it is, but I have never really experienced it to my knowledge. |
 |
| Yes workplace bullying does exist and I seen it when I was doing my job too, overall as long as a person can speak out for themselves that would be better. |
| Yes, we've had a couple people quit work because of it. Work is just school for adults. |
| Yeah like everyone says. Sure is. People dont stop being people when they leave school. Its very common, what kind is more prevalent depends on what sector and the enviroment. Its always shit but depends on lots of things. Yes ive experienced it as well. |

| Absolutely. Hierarchy, power tripping, bullying it's all there. Rather it's the norm. People are like hyena's out there trying to one up each other. Working with good people and a good boss is really rare. So if you have the luxury and option to choose where you'd like to work, choose wisely. It's not just about being good at work, you need to be good at office politics as well. Besides if you work well and hard, you'll just get more work to do from others, you will not be appreciated for your hard work, 90% of times. It's more prelevant in big firms or small biz too. If your workspace starts calling all workers, "family", RUN. |

| my 1 job I ask a question they ignore and laugh I just leave the place adults are just tall children we are all little children pretending to be "adults" mature people our entire animal core is still there pride, hate, envy, we are no different than a monkey in the jungle Bullying is the animal instinct to dominate another weaker animal It's no surprise to see people going crazy and doing evil the environment is hostile and they also become hostile |

| @tsukareru It's always funny to see totally unqualified/incompetent people put into higher positions than you because they're the manager's niece or something. Not so funny when they have some degree of power over others -_- |
| "Is workplace bullying really a thing?" Unfortunately, it is. |
 |
| Yes it is and thats just reality in most cases |
 "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| It is a real thing. Most of the time It comes from people with some kind of power inside the workplace. People who knows that the person they harass has almost nothing to do against them. It's the same not only in the workplace but everywhere theres someone with some kind of power position. The rules don't apply for them. A good example are the people that get away with crimes because their money and social status. It's not the same as bullying but almost like It. It all comes from power abuse. If justice and rules worked the same for everyone, I think there would be almost no one daring to break them. |

| @fleurbleue Hahaha the conclsion is great. It's a universal truth that workers who complain about being replaced by "le migrants" would have been replaced anyway because they're morons, just like employers who complain that younglings are lazy and don't want to work just offer shit-tier pay and conditions. |

| @Deathko after re-reading fluerbleue's story now its actually pretty funny, didnt think this thread would be revived several months after I made it |
| never really experienced it, i think it depends on the type of place you work and the quality of the bosses |
