Am I being bullied at work? - April 17th 2012, 12:03 AM

The organisation I'm based at has 13 locations. I mainly work at 3 of them.

However, when I go to the other sites, the staff there are very rude. If I ask them for help in tasks, or just trivial things like where the washroom is, they scorn at me and look as if they don't want to assist me.

I generally don't care if people slight me, since I'm a confident person. But at work, I don't think I should be subject to negative treatment.

Is this bullying, or something I should report?

I don't think 'Rudeness' counts as bullying or discrimination, you'd have to prove they were singling you out for some reason. In the absence of that, it's just boorishness.

Two choices: Ignore it and be thankful you're not them. Or find a way to address it with them when it comes up.


PM me with the link of the post you'd like me to respond to.

This is not bullying, however it is a code of conduct issue. You could talk to someone in charge and see what your options are. However reporting it will likely cause more harm than good.

Dr Bobby is right with his two choices.
