  1. Hostile work environment issues

  2. Can negative work experiences really lead to reactions similar to trauma experiences, like war or sexual assault? A hostile work environment certainly could contribute. A hostile work environment is one in which the workplace is made intimidating, abusive, or offensive to an employee as a consequence of another’s conduct within it (e.g., inappropriate comments, remarks, or gestures; unwanted sexual attention) or because of characteristics of the setting (e.g., displays of distasteful, insulting, or otherwise inappropriate material). Employees should be able to come into a positive, healthy work environment each day. Unfortunately, many people struggle with hostile work environments. It’s important to understand what exactly a hostile work environment is and how to deal with the situation. Harassment in the workplace can take on many different facades.

  3. Harassers may make offensive jokes, call the victim names, threaten fellow employees physically or verbally, ridicule others, display offensive photographs, or impede on another person’s work throughout the day. Harassment in the workplace might be based on race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, gender, nationality, age, physical or mental disability, or genetic information. While people are often most familiar with the concept of sexual harassment in the workplace, there are many other types of workplace harassment.

  4. Additionally, you may be a victim of workplace bullying which can cause serious damage to your self-esteem and your ability to contribute at work. It can also be responsible for your depression, physical illness, and severe trauma. Psychotherapy can decrease your chances of becoming a bully’s target. Once you have set the limit in your mind, exercise your right to tell the bully to stop the behavior. You might want to rehearse these steps with a psychotherapist so that you are more comfortable responding when the bully attacks. Bullying is never okay in the workplace or anywhere else, for that matter.
