What should we do if we are bullied at the workplace?

First of all, we shouldn’t handle it alone. In our Christian journey, ‘no man is an island’. We are all members of the body of Christ, so we must support one another in times of difficulty. Therefore, I suggest that you share your predicaments with your Pastors, brothers and sisters in the church, and small groups immediately. They will lend their listening ears and provide you with comforting and encouraging words. Being the third party, they will give you suggestions and help you perceive if you have overreacted or not. You can also ask them, “What would you do in such situations?”

When you share it with friends, please don’t criticise, complain or pour out your sorrows as that doesn’t help. A more effective way of mutual support is to attempt to understand the situation through our prayers and sharing. Analyse the reasons behind this situation.

Now, you know that you can’t solve the issue alone, so let’s take some actions together......

Critical Thinking Questions:

2. If we are bullied at workplace, we need to communicate with the third party. How should we talk about it?

3. The most import step facing workplace bullying is forgiveness. What do you think you should do so that you could in order to forgive those who didn’t know what they were doing?
