Sabotage from your boss is a sign that they don’t respect you and that they’re likely insecure. Being sabotaged long-term can lead to fear and insecurity in the workplace, and it can make you feel undervalued and underappreciated at your job.
You might feel like you’re constantly being watched or monitored, while your coworkers have much more freedom.
On the flip side, some bosses will be overly nitpicky, giving you too much feedback all the time.
If you don’t have any evidence of your boss’s actions, it will probably be your word against theirs. Try to bring in some coworkers who have seen the harassment so they can back you up. If your higher-ups don’t take you seriously, it’s time to talk to an attorney. A licensed attorney will take a look at your case to see if you have concrete evidence of your boss’s actions.
Consider talking to a therapist or psychologist during your time off. Dealing with a bad boss like this is stressful, and talking to a professional can help you work through your emotions. If you can’t take time off, practice self care before and after work. Do at least 1 activity per day that soothes and relaxes you so you come back to work feeling calm and refreshed.
