Archived A fellow team member is making me uncomfortable

[emayf]

What should I do if a fellow team member is making me uncomfortable? I don't want to be specific but a team member is personally attacking me and trying to manipulate me. They make me feel bad about myself. I feel uncomfortable seeing this person again. It's making my work environment hostile. I don't know what to do.

Call the hotline.

talk to hr

Just going off the details you gave ( I understand you cant be too specific) its rather hard to give sound advice. If the person is making you feel uncomfortable go to your hr/etl...explain what is going on. If they don't do anything to help you could go to the Stl, if that's not an option then call the hotline . If you are afraid this person is going to physically harm you then you need to talk with Ap asap.

Talk you your hr or STL or Ap. If that doesn't work try hrbp or hotline

This is why HR is in store. Talk to them, or a leader ASAP.

Write everything down.
Make it factual, times, dates, actions, keep it as straight forward as possible but make it clear that this is something that is effecting your emotional health.
Use words like hostile work place and unsafe feeling.

Then like everyone has said go talk to HR.
Write down what their response is and make sure it is a clear response.
Don't let them fumble around, have them lay out what they are going to do and in what time frame, then hold them to it.
If what they said they would do has not happened in that time frame then it is time to challenge upwards.

Pee on them to assert dominance.

(But seriously, CC's got it right. Record everything, go to HR, etc. If there's witnesses, get them to record it too)

The hotline is for when the in-store leadership refuses to help you. I've never used it before, but I bet the first question they'd ask would be what the STL, the ETL-HR, your ETL, and your TL are doing about the problem. Go to them first.

If your lucky it will help. When I used it nothing has changed except the person I called on now knows I did and for what.

Sad reality is that some people just enjoy putting down others. Kinda there "hobby". Pleasure from negativity. Untamed tongue. Bad habits.

What I do is try to change the topic if I feel like they are making me uncomfortable or ignore them until they get tired talking about it.
