My friend says that they are constantly being belittled and experiencing mobbing at work. They are expressing that their sentences are always questioned, they are excluded from meetings, and they don’t even get support from their coworkers. Hearing this makes me sad that I can’t do anything to help. How can we solve this situation? Is it difficult to have to work in such a stressful environment?
I’ve been through something similar; you endure for a long time and then suddenly you find yourself losing your health. It’s best to keep a record of events and gather evidence for a while, so that they don’t just quit suddenly.
How long has your friend been working there? Is this a new incident or has this exclusion always been there?
@kahvebitmeden has been working for 2 years already, it seems to have increased in the last 6 months. They said it wasn’t like this at first, but now they seem to be more impatient.
@soncaykaldi so what if he gathers evidence? It’s not that easy for him to prove this, and he’s already struggling with tension at work. Just leave and be free.
To understand whether bullying is occurring, examine the situations that fall under the definition of bullying in the Labor Law, and if necessary, consult a labor law attorney. Taking notes, gathering written evidence, and even switching communications to written form is very important. Instead of leaving directly, one should first know their rights.
Don’t get me wrong, but this topic has become cliché. Everyone says mobbing when they leave work, but these things usually stem from detail. Is it with the boss or a teammate, is it related to a raise, what is it? Please explain a bit more clearly.
I get so bored in a place like this, I wouldn’t even stay for a day.
What will your friend do if they resign, do they have a plan? I hope they don’t end up unemployed and stress too much later. I think it would be better if they had an arrangement with another place before leaving. Otherwise, acting hastily will make things harder.
If they leave without finding another job, the stress of unemployment will sink them even further, but at the same time, staying in this environment will also wear down their psychology. The question is: will they continue to work despite the complaints, or will they make a plan that guarantees their exit? In either case, they shouldn’t leave a gap.
If your friend wants to leave directly, they should look into the unemployment benefit issue. If they resign voluntarily, they can’t claim it, but if there is evidence of bullying (mobbing), the situation might be different. Has they considered this option?
