The best way to handle harassment in a work environment is to first ask for it to stop, if it then continues you should report the employee to a supervisor, you should never feel like you have to "deal with" harassment.

If it's really serious, you should speak to your superior. Harassment is unacceptable in the workplace.

I report it to my boss and see what he has to say. If he takes an action, well and good, If he doesnt, i m not left with much choice, I ll ignore them and continue working. Or I ll just find some other place to work.

Do not keep it to yourself. You could try telling them your feelings however if it's too dangerous than inform someone in the management department. If your requests don't get solved to your expectations then inform the police. We are here for you and ready to listen. :) no one should be harassed.

If you are having trouble with yiur co workers I would go to a supervisor and have a meeting to try to get everything out in the open. Some people would say to first try to approach the co workers on your own. But I have found that sometimes makes it worse. Even going to a supervisor will make it worse. I try to ignore most things that happen. Or I also have a co worker that I trust and we vent to each other. That helps so we don't bring it home.

First of all I think you should gather evidence because even if you report them the higher may not believe you because it you vs your coworkers. But if you report them and able to show evidence no one can call you a lier.

It is a really difficult situation and my heart goes out to anyone experiencing work place harassment! Your workplace might have rules about harassment, so maybe your can study those and see the company protocol for dealing with harassment. One thing you can practice is DBT acronym DEAR MAN which are basic steps for assertiveness - sometimes all it takes is a little assertiveness and the harassment will stop.

First step, ask them to stop, maybe they don't know that they have over stepped their bounds. If they don't stop then it is time to put it in the hands of your supervisor, but if for some reason it continues on then you need to speak to an HR representive. But most all don't just accept or put up with it. Neither you or anyone else should ever have to deal with harassment.
