This unpleasant phenomenon was dubbed "office hazing", bullying, even "gnobbying." But whatever you call it, the meaning remains the same - it is psychological violence against a specific employee of the firm by his colleagues.
By declaring a boycott, nagging and mocking, misinforming and reporting the "victim" to the higher management, mobbers step by step create uncomfortable and sometimes even unbearable conditions for him. Few people think that the consequences of such actions can be much more dangerous than dismissal: often the victims of mobbing fall into depression, live in a state of chronic stress, suffer from neuroses and psychosomatic diseases.
Whether you're settling for a new job or just feeling the heat around you, take a look at a few tips to help you avoid becoming a victim of mobbing.
Stick to the golden mean
When you come to a new team, try to communicate with all colleagues evenly, do not let anyone get too close, but do not move away either. In general discussions, do not ask for trouble, but at the same time calmly adhere to your point of view, without trying to desperately prove something.

Don't try to outshine others
Ambition is good, but not when it is realized at the expense of others. You should not "curry favor" with your superiors, while trying to show how good you are and how bad your colleagues are. Believe me, the latter will not appreciate it.
Don't let yourself be humiliated
Stop any attempts to show you your place. You should not respond in kind to such actions, so as not to provoke further development of the conflict. However, you can calmly and with dignity make it clear to the “bully” that you yourself know perfectly well how you should behave and how not. In general, sometimes you need to "show your teeth."
Attend informal events
The corporate spirit is a great strength. It is he who is able to unite completely different people. Informal events are an important component in the process of creating and maintaining a corporate spirit. Attend various meetings and holidays, it is at them that ordinary colleagues, as a rule, become, if not friends, then at least comrades.
Keep calm
Do not succumb to provocations from possible mobbers, respond to aggression with calmness, and turn offensive words into a joke. If you understand that the negative in your direction is systematic (and did not happen once because the offender was in a bad mood), talk to the mobber as discreetly as possible, try to find out the reasons for his attitude towards you. Sometimes constructive conversations work wonders.

Play by the rules
"They don't go to Tula with their samovar." So here too - to come to an established team with its own rules is at least stupid (if you are not a boss), you will have to follow the already established traditions.
The main thing is to understand that, with rare exceptions, they “persecute” those who allow it to be done. For the most part, colleagues personally provoke mobbers to take decisive action. Do not allow envy in your address, do not humiliate others and do not spread gossip, immediately show that you are benevolent, but you know your worth - such people become victims of mobbers much less often.
