| Jan 7, 2020 at 21:41 | comment | added | Lilienthal♦ | That's why we typically default to following your interpretation and focus on addressing the problem. This question would likely be improved by focusing less on the "psychological harassment" and more on tactics for dealing with or escalating lack of onboarding / support. Harassment is a very loaded term that also has a strict legal definition. In most countries being set up to fail like this is horrible management but not actual harassment and so the strategies for dealing with both are usually different. "Was this harassment?" is a question that can be debated but probably not answered. | |
| Jan 7, 2020 at 21:41 | comment | added | Lilienthal♦ | Welcome back to the site Conrad and thank you for answering the comments here. As dwizum said the reason for those is because these types of questions are hard to answer, especially when the situation is already resolved, for better or worse. It can be hard to provide any kind of constructive feedback if the question makes it seem like you're looking for validation of your experience when no one here can do that as we'll never know the details of what happened as well as you.

| Jan 7, 2020 at 21:13 | comment | added | joeqwerty | So, you were assigned work you didn't know how to perform, your coworkers took little interest in helping you, they complained to your manager, and your manager complained to you? To characterize that as "psychological harassment" is probably a mischaracterization and a slight bit of exaggeration. You were in a poor work environment with poor collaboration and feedback. That's not unusual, unfortunate as it might be. | |

| Jan 7, 2020 at 21:03 | comment | added | tweray | From the limited detail you provided it's hard to figure out if it is your former employer failed to on board you properly or it's you unable to keep up with the team. What I would suggest is to let it go and move on with your career. Disregarding how you like to call it I can hardly find any benefit (legally or even just psychological) for you to chase down what happened as you described. If you have no problem keeping up with your current employer then cheers! But if you find yourself in same situation again in a different workplace, then you may need to look for problem on yourself more. | |

| Jan 7, 2020 at 20:59 | comment | added | dwizum | I'm sorry that you think I assumed you were wrong (I didn't). I'm trying to ask leading questions to help you frame your question a little more thoroughly. When someone comes here and says, "my problem is X, what should I do?" it's helpful to know what they've already tried, and what the result was. This way, we can more directly answer your question, instead of giving you suggestions that you've already tried. Even given that clarification, "what should I do?" questions often get closed as opinion based, without edits to add more clarity (what is your desired outcome, etc.). | |

| Jan 7, 2020 at 20:43 | comment | added | AndreiROM | Sounds to me like you need help addressing a variety of issues, which would not be easily done in one post. I suggest taking a look at some of the other content on this site - you will pick up strategies for dealing with various issues, including what you faced. | |
| Jan 7, 2020 at 20:43 | comment | added | MonkeyZeus | Given that your co-workers and manager acted the same way, it sounds like a culturally toxic work environment. Without getting more details from you it sounds like no one was interested in you nor the team as a whole being successful. Your co-workers were probably putting you through the same stuff they had to endure. I would hesitate to call it targeted harassment. Just be happy that you got out and make sure to ask the right interview questions for your next job; remember, interviewing is a two-way street. | |
