Gaslighting In Workplace

Gaslighting In Workplace

Are you being Gaslit in the workplace when no one is around?

Do feel no one would believe you because the gaslighter puts on a good show for those in the workplace including management and people visiting the workplace?

Gaslighters create their own reality.
They have decided they are right and the person they are targeting is always wrong.

The goal of the gaslighter is to deceive and gain power over their target. They do not want their target to be successful. The more successful their target the more they ramp up the gaslighting.

Gaslighters distort reality so their version of events is the only true version.

Gaslighters can focus their abuse on one person. If you do not have numbers behind you, record dates and times of events that take place in the workplace. Do not rely on your memory.

Having details in writing to support your case if you ever need supporting evidence is crucial.

There is no point approaching a gaslighter on their behaviour towards you such as setting you up to make it look like what they’re doing to you, you’re doing to them.

They will deny their behaviour and report your meeting with them as harassment, providing them with more evidence of your harassment towards them.

If you feel you do not have the support from management or HR, and their behaviour is affecting your mental health, you may need to look for new employment.

Yes, it seems like they’ve won for now but they may have done you a favour by forcing you to look for better opportunities elsewhere.

Your mental health is more important than facing the tactics of a gaslighter and fearing what they may do to you at work.
