《Kick-ass Career Guide for Women》Say 'no' to bullying behaviour
Advertisement
Like high school, you might encounter office bullying or other types of harassment in your work life.
Bullying, according to the Oxford dictionary online, is behavior that seeks to "to harm, intimidate, or coerce (someone perceived as vulnerable."
Bullying and other types of harassment are not tolerated in the work environment. Most workplaces have anti-bullying and anti-harassment guidelines and policies. It's useful to have access to or keep a copy in case you'll ever need it. Hopefully, you won't need it.
In the event that you feel bullied or harassed, it is important to have the support that you need, both from a person of authority (eg. someone in a role where they are in a position to address these issues and protect staff) and people around you (eg. colleagues, family, friends).
A person of authority can be your manager or someone in a higher position where they take on neutrality (especially if it is a case where your manager has been bullying or harassing you). They can also be someone in human resources (HR) or workplace health and safety (HSE).
I have personally been bullied a few times in my career, and I don't let these incidents slip away quietly.
At first, I addressed the issues directly with the person who behaved inappropriately. I talked to them about their behavior and how I felt as a result; in many cases, these issues tended to be resolved immediately once the person is made aware.
However, on two occasions, I needed to escalate the situation to a person of authority, with documented evidence, for further actions to be carried out. It was a bold step forward as it was an emotional struggle to speak out, but the consequences were in my favor. I also set an example to others that bullying or any other kind of harassment should never be tolerated.

Stand up and don't back down. Don't expect that things will always go away quietly. Document all incidences, including the time, place, what happened, what was said, what was done, and who was there.
Make sure that you document concrete evidence-the facts only. For example, if the person intimidated, belittled, or ostracized you, what actions or words did they use?
Bullying behavior or any harassment is not acceptable in or out of the workplace.

Boosted Restart – A new chance in a different world (GL)
Sophia wasn't happy with her life. Due to some wrong decisions, she'd become really shy and introverted, to the point it hinders her from having basic interactions or even conversations. Not being able to talk with women at all, the only gender she's interested in, caused her to feel really lonely. The girl wanted to change, but she got too stuck in her ways. After all this time, Sophia had become unable to do so without help. One day, while she was busy complaining about her situation, she accidentally missed a red traffic light. This accident led to the end of the life she hated so much. However, she was saved from certain death by a mysterious being. He called himself an overseer of the worlds and gave her a second chance in a different world where even magic exists. He also granted her some boosts to make her life easier. Hoping to finally change herself, Sophia asked him to make her more outgoing, sociable, confident, and the likes. The overseer didn't just stop there. He boosted every single attribute of the girl. Every emotion and personality trait got altered, be it a positive or negative feeling. Her physical stats were no exception. This caused her to have the most literal identity crisis because she felt like someone else entirely. To make things worse, those emotional boosts aren't the most reliable ones, overcompensating or even failing from time to time. Trying to deal with these conflicting emotions, Sophia works hard to come to terms with the new her while doing her best in the new world. Exploring places, learning magic, finally finding friends again, and possibly more. Unfortunately, she learns this world's magic from a highly overpowered, easygoing, and somewhat unreliable teacher. This not only destroys the last bit of her common sense, but Sophia's application of magic also becomes rather sloppy, causing one weird incident after another. Not to mention that some of the inhabitants of her new home are a little different from what she imagined. An easy life still seemed impossible for Sophia, but for all the different reasons. ----------------------Info: Tags used elsewhere (Because RR really could use some more of them...): Genre Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy, Girls Love, Isekai, Romance, Slice of Life Tags Age Regression, Alternate World, Animal Characteristics, Appearance Changes, Appearance Different from Actual Age, Beast Companions, Beastkin, Carefree Protagonist, Demi-Humans, Dense Protagonist, Easy Going Life, Fantasy World, Female Protagonist, Identity Crisis, Lack of Common Sense, Magic, Misunderstandings, Modern Knowledge, Overpowered Protagonist, Personality Changes, Second Chance, Transmigration, Transported into Another World, World Travel
