What do I do when my coworkers are harassing me?

You need to do two things: 1)Determine if there is actual harassment. Is your coworker just testing you? Are they pushing your buttons and trying to get a reaction? Males always test other males and confident women do the same. You need to find out if they are just pushing you as a test of confidence. Do so by reading into their message: Are they insulting you, deeply, or merely poking fun? If it is an insult, cruel ones, then yes, that is harassment. 2)Let a supervisor or HR know. Harassment in the workforce is NOT TOLERATED. If someone IS harassing you, report them. Most people who violate these set of rules get written up or fired promptly. Take care of yourself and don't overreact. You are more important than anyone else. Don't get yourself in trouble by fighting or reacting on an emotional basis. Report them and continue fighting the good fight!

I remember that most people's harassing behaviors are motivated by their needs, more than my behavior or character. Their needs could be for attention, for care-- because they're insecure, jealous, feeling inadequate or more. It helps build resilience if you don't jump to judging yourself and consider the whole social interaction from a distance. I also think it's helpful to encourage coworkers to chat privately instead of in groups. The 1-1 attention usually solves the problem. People have a hard time being mean, lying, or bullying when confronted. Best to take it from text to verbal, in-person, and private.

If someone is harassing you then you need to stand up to them and try to have a talk with them and ask why they are and if you feel this can not be resolved by having a discussion with them then you would need to go higher up and talk to Your Boss and explain what is going on and see if there is a possibility they can bring you both in and work this out. If someone is harassing you then it is either because they are jealous and feel threatened by you or they are really struggling in their own life at home .. we never really know unless we ask.

The best thing to do is to try and contact someone in charge, maybe not the boss himself, but if you have someone responsible for the work environment or similar. Other things you could do is see if your country has some sort of social security for the work environment. If none of the above seem to help the best thing to do is to talk about it with your friends, try to find some strength, and maybe start looking for another job if the situation gets worse. First of all though, you should try to sort this out with your coworkers.

I first try to deal with the issue myself. Is there something I can say to this person to show them how I am feeling? Can I say something that will stop the behaviour? If this doesn’t get through to them, and the harassing continues, then I would try to have a meeting with management to tell them what is happening. If needed, I would file a complaint about them. If this still didn’t solve the harassment, then I would ask if I could move departments or work in a different environment. Hopefully after making threats of moving, management would take the problem more seriously. If I don’t feel heard at all, then I would consider changing jobs, as this type of environment isn’t good to work in.

I think the best thing you should do is speak to the person in charge about this matter. Harassing someone isn't professional or a good thing anyone can do! I also thing that you should talk to a trusted person about this. Sometimes telling someone how you feel will make you feel better. Always remember sometimes their harassing isn't your fault. There must be something going on with their lives and they want to put that on you. But that is not fair! That is toxic behaviour. Everyone try to give safe, I know it's sometimes hard in this day and age

Sorry that happened to you. It should not be happening. You can report it to your HR department,if it is a large company. If it is a small company,you can report it to your boss. If neither of those's work,then you can file a police report. There are laws against work place harassment. You could also sue the company you work for. If your not comfortable with all of those things, I mentioned above, then you might want to start looking for another job. Also, you could ask the person who is causing you problems, to stop doing what ever they are doing, that is making you feel uncomfortable. I wish you a lot of luck. Hope things get better for you.

I would leave them alone and try to tell the big boss who is working there so she can deal with them. Also, I would try to make them see I am not affected. This reason will be that if they see me not affected they will try not to bother me. This experience happens usually at work, people do it when they are bored and they will bother other people. So, it is important to keep the manager involved and if some one is bothering do not hesitate and ask the manager so they can stop.

If you are being harassed by your coworkers always let someone else know of the situation, your friends that are not from your job or your bosses. Never stay quiet when it comes to something as serious as harassment. If you feel like you are being harassed all jobs have a number to call to report the situation. If you feel that your immediate supervisor is not helping you then reach out to his bosses or HR to provide a number to call to report the harassment. Just remember that you are never alone and speaking to someone is always the right thing to do.

First, you inform the coworkers to stop. You will have to inform your coworkers about how you feel when they are harassing you. Strictly tell them that you do not feel comfortable when they do certain actions that can portray as harassment to you. Then if it does not stop, go directly to your HR manager. Strictly go to the manager and inform that the coworkers are harassing you and explain to her/him the details of the actions or statements that they are saying that makes you think that they are harassing you. You have to be very detailed to officially file a complaint to your HR.
