"Light" harassment from a colleague
Hi all,
At work things escalated in the last days. I reported my colleague who is hating me since day 1 in the company. Because from his point of view I stole the job from his gf who was applying too. I didn t cheat or anything.
It has been 3 years that he made a point to say "welcome" at my arrival to the other colleague hired at the same time, not me. Then ignoring me like if I was invisible at the office. Sending public messages without writing my name when he doesn't agree with my work. Writung publicly that it s a joke when I m thanked by other colleagues at a public meeting.
All the time without saying my name nor insulting me directly.
Now the human resources want to talk with me about it. His manager talked with me and found a lot of excuses for his behavior. Saying basically that I was imagining things.
I feel so bad, I want to sh. I don t think talking about this is making things better.
How to manage that ? Did you already went through similar situation ?
