Go to HR if you have evidence of sabotage. Or try 3 steps:
- What NOT to do: retaliate, demand an apology, ask why they did it – these tend to escalate and you might even fall prey to gaslighting.
- Meet with the offender and describe what factually happened: credit not given, deadline not met, information withheld. State plainly WHAT YOU WANT CHANGED – that’s the outcome you want.
- Quantify how the undermining has affected your work performance/belongingness: lost productivity, trust deficit, workplace discomfort. Along with the what/when/where/witness of the undermining, they form “the evidence” for HR if the offender doesn’t stop.
On the other hand, 🤔: Do I really want to expend my limited energy on the saboteur or my limitless destiny?
