Have you ever been harassed out of your job by coworkers and HR?

This happened to me back in 2024. HR and all my supervisors wouldn't lesson to me from want was going on with me from my other bad coworkers so technically I was harassed out of the job and out of the job company. 🫠

I’m really sorry you went through that. I’ve coached several people in similar situations, and it’s deeply destabilizing.

A few practical steps that can help now:

1. Document your experience
Write a clear timeline: names, dates, behaviors, emails, HR meetings, and outcomes. This may be useful for legal advice, future job applications, or simply to process what happened.

2. Protect your narrative
When interviewing, frame it as: “The environment became unhealthy and HR didn’t address it. I chose to leave to find a healthier culture.”

3. Consider advice from a lawyer
Especially if there was discrimination, retaliation, or a hostile work environment. An employment attorney or local legal clinic can tell you if you have a case.

4. Heal and rebuild confidence
Harassment can erode self‑trust. Talking with a therapist or counselor can help you separate *their* behavior from *your* worth and competence.

5. Screen future employers
In my own career and with clients, we now ask targeted questions:
- “How does your company handle interpersonal conflicts?”
- “Can you share an example of how HR supported an employee in a tough situation?”
- “What happens when a high performer behaves badly?”

If you’d like, tell me your field, what happened in broad strokes, and where you are now. I can help you craft how to explain this to future employers and how to spot safer workplaces.

I am sorry that happened to you.

I have.
I had been there over a year and we had a new manager (she had only been there for four months). I never had a problem with the previous manager. He liked me and we are still in professional contact to this day. There was another manager at the time, too. She was a lower level manager than the guy. She didn’t like me and it was clear. It is funny, because I hardly talked…
Now, the new manager, after the guy left, turned out to be friends with the lower level manager (the lower level manager worked in another building after the guy moved). I think what the new manager did was out of her own insecurities. Hecc, both those women were giving insecure vibes. I was like 22 at the time when the new manager started worked with us, I think.
I just quit the job at that point. I wasn’t going to let her project her insecurities on me. 🤷🏾‍♀️

No none of that, but I was harassed by a new manager that came along a weasel when I was 19 two months later, he told me to resign from my job. I shouldn’t have my neighbors had a fit that I did even another manager told me I should’ve protested

No, that hasn't happened to me. I have had the same summer job for seasons now. I really get along with those I work with.
