Your work is consistently nitpicked and undervalued, no matter how well you perform.

Yelling, derogatory remarks, or personal insults are directed toward you, creating a hostile environment.

You’re given unclear instructions or unrealistic tasks, intentionally designed to make you fail.
Many people overlook these signs,
thinking they can tough it out.
But we must stop tolerating such behavior.
