Today I am here to share a story of a friend who is suffering from chronic backstabbing, cruelty, bias, discrimination, mistreatment, misbehavior that one demonstrates, [toxic co-workers] are intolerable to work with or be around for an extended period. In the beginning, I thought she needed to be calm and cooperative with her coworkers. Nonetheless, in such a toxic environment she could not fix up with these and now she is suffering from some chronic ailments, which has been caused to her due to stress and lack of cooperation by her employer and coworkers.
Now, when She has been prescribed complete bed rest by her Doctor, her Supervisor and coworkers keep on calling her to get the work done. Even if it’s one or two emails a day, this is not a healthy thing to be done by an employee who is sick. These things were not enough to make her sick, one of her coworkers called her today and told her it would have been better if she has been feeling sick due to COVID-19, and mentally harassed her over the call for her condition and threatened her that due to these she can lose her job.
She was so broken by all this, I just want to ask each one of you today, that aren’t we living in a harassment-free nation, where each one of us has a right to raise voice against such incidents, but she is more worried on losing her job. Worse yet, working with a toxic co-worker can negatively impact her personal life, health, and even derail her career if these people allowed to continue their behavior.
So, what’s the best action she can take against such people. Please suggest.
