And dont get me started on the not-so-subtle bullying that somehow survived past puberty.
Turns out, some people never grow out of being jerksthey just upgrade to fancy suits and passive-aggressive messages.
Just ask our netizenshe experienced this firsthand.
She was just trying to get through it without accidentally calling her coworker mom.
So, when the doorbell rang mid-call, she excused herself for just a sec to grab a delivery.
Except she never left the call, just muted herself and turned off the camera.
They forgot how microphones work.
While she was away, the roast session began.
One person groaned that the meeting was hard work, and the other?
Hmmm, what would you call someone who mocks their coworker on a group call?
Because honestly, who wouldnt?
Now shes left wondering if she should report her coworkers or if shes just overreacting.
No, OP, youre not overreacting.
And before someone says, maybe they didnt mean it like thatplease.
Saying a womans only worth is their looks?
Thats not just shadyits textbook misogyny with a side of bullying.
Yep, bullying didnt retire after middle school, apparently.
Turns out, some bullies just traded uniforms for button-up shirts.
Dont confront them alone if it doesnt feel safe.
And yes, it’s possible for you to (and should) go to HR.
Youre not being dramaticyoure protecting your peace.
And its not always overt.
Sometimes its subtle microaggressions like youre too emotional or youre intimidating.
If youve got receipts, bring them.
Dont laugh off sexist jokes to keep the peaceit just teaches them its okay.
At the end of the day, the OP is not overreacting for considering reporting her coworkers.
