What should I do about my supervisor having my coworkers bully me?

My supervisor is gossiping about me and now my coworkers are bullying me. What should I do?

You gotta stand up for yourself. That's some weak sauce behavior from your boss if they're trying to turn people against you. Here's what I would do:

1. Document everything. Write down every incident of bullying with dates and what was said. This is ammo if you need to get HR involved.

2. Talk to your boss 1-on-1. Be calm and professional but tell them straight up the gossip and bullying is whack and it needs to stop. Give examples so they know it's serious.

3. If it continues after that, go over their heads. Ask to meet with the next level manager or HR. Explain the situation and that talking to your direct boss didn't work. Bring your notes as proof.

4. While you go through the process, don't stoop to their level. Keep your head high like it don't phase you. Don't trash talk others back. Stay chill and focused on doing your job right.

5. If HR doesn't help, consider finding a new gig. Ain't nobody got time for drama. You'll be much happier someplace people treat you with respect.

Hope this gives you a game plan. You got this! Bullies ain't got nothin on you when you stand tall.

Take it to God. Confess Psalm 91 out loud several times a day with your name over the situation. Confess Ephesians 6:12 out loud several times a day and relate it to the issue. Grow in faith and claim all of the protection that is avaliable to you.

The issue is the first thought people have is to go to man. But God has the final say and authority. I had a friend of mine who was being bullied for 2 weeks and he had complained to HR. He had cases open but the person was still bullying him. I told him to seek God but he didn't believe but in a sort of challenge way, he said 'Why don't you show me what prayer can do?'

I confessed Psalm 91 over him and his situation using his name. 2 days later all of the bullying stopped and the person just started avoiding him...

Just bear in mind that faith and forgiveness will come into play.
