How to Handle Workplace Mobbing

Facing mobbing at work is overwhelming — it drains your energy, damages your health, and makes every day feel heavier than the last. But here’s something important: you don’t have to accept it. You have rights, and there are clear steps you can take to protect yourself and move forward.

First Things First: Build Your Case

• Save Everything: Keep emails, text messages, voice notes — anything that shows patterns of harassment.

• Find Support: If colleagues have witnessed the behavior, ask them if they’d be willing to back you up.

• Write It Down: Document every incident — when it happened, where it happened, and exactly what was said or done.

• Seek Medical Help: If mobbing affects your mental or physical health (and it often does), get professional support. Medical reports can be crucial evidence.

When Enough is Enough: Resigning and Claiming Your Compensation

Once you’ve gathered enough evidence, formally report the situation to your employer. If nothing changes, you have the right to resign based on just cause — and yes, you can still claim your severance pay. If needed, you can also take legal action to seek compensation for emotional damages.

Remember: mobbing is not something you have to silently endure. Speaking up might feel hard at first, but it’s the first step towards reclaiming your peace and dignity.

You deserve better — and you’re not alone.
