Why Is Healing From Workplace Bullying So Hard?
When I joined my last company, I thought I could handle anything. Turns out, I was wrong. A coworker, let’s call him D, singled me out. I tried to tough it out, but the more I endured, the worse it got. Reporting it? Managers promised to help, but nothing changed. Instead, I got the classic: "Just endure it."
After D found out I spoke up, he and his friends iced me out. It felt like high school drama in a grown-up office. I finally quit, thinking I’d find peace. But even then, managers acted like I was the problem. One even asked, "Why can’t you just move on?"
Now, months later, I still wonder: Was it really my fault? How do you actually heal from this? If you’ve been through something similar, how did you cope? I could really use some advice. 😔
