Invisible bullying in the workplace is often transmitted through hints, sarcasm, or "jokes." Recognizing these signals is the first step to protect yourself. The following are some language forms that need to be vigilant, divided into two categories: dominant and recessive： **Explicit insults (ostensibly friendly but actually offensive)** 1. **Ability questioned** "You can't do such a simple thing? "(with exaggerated sigh) "It's worthy of being a graduate of a prestigious school, but the efficiency is different" (accented on "prestigious school") 2. **Demeaning personality** "It's just a joke, you are too sensitive, right?" (In fact, you continue to cross the line) "Everyone can work overtime, but you are particularly expensive? " 3. **Group isolation** "Our department didn't even notify you of the dinner? Oh, I forgot you are not in our group" (Knowing that you belong to the same team) "This kind of high-end meeting is not suitable for newcomers" (Actually you have been on the job for two years) **High-level stealth attacks (more concealed damage)** 4. **Professional negative speech technique** "Your plan is very creative. . . (Long pause) Next time, let's follow industry standards." "This idea is very special, but (turning over the file) we tried and failed ten years ago." 5. **Identity hint** "Now the post-95s are really different from us" (Suddenly turned to you during the meeting) "Some people rely on luck to get into the company." (His eyes swept across your desk) 6. **Resource allocation** "The printer is stuck again? No wonder you always miss deadline" (It's actually a public equipment problem) "Do you need me to teach you how to use Excel? "(What you submitted is a data analysis report) **Coping strategy：** 1. **Establish a chain of evidence**: Confirm verbal instructions by work email ("What is the specific direction for you to suggest that I 'learn more basic skills'? "） 2. **Mirror response method**： When the other party says, "None of this will happen?" "At that time, he calmly responded: "Which specific step do I need to re-demonstrate?" " When ridiculed for being "out of group": "I have observed that you are very concerned about my social status. Do you have a need for work collaboration?" " 3. **Set boundaries**: For those who continue to cross boundaries, terminate in one sentence in public: "This topic is beyond the scope of work. " Important reminder: When isolation develops into deliberate obstruction of work (such as deliberately concealing key information), continuous mental suppression (targeted remarks more than 3 times a week), or health effects (increased insomnia/anxiety), please keep the evidence immediately and file a formal complaint with HR. The most cruel thing about psychological warfare in the workplace is that abusers often use "for your own good" to package harm. Your professional ability does not need to be proved by tolerating malice. It is a respect for yourself to counterattack or withdraw in a timely manner.
