What happens when workplace bullying is not obvious?
In this episode of Another Million Miles, Danielle sits down with Alicia Laszewski to uncover workplace mobbing, a subtle but damaging form of group bullying that can leave someone isolated, excluded, undermined and questioning their own reality.
After experiencing mobbing herself, Alicia spent more than a year researching the behavior, interviewing others and exploring why toxic workplace cultures allow it to continue. She reveals how mobbing can show up through being left out of meetings and group chats, having your credibility quietly eroded, losing support from colleagues and experiencing social isolation without ever being told why.
Danielle and Alicia explore workplace bullying, toxic leadership, social isolation, difficult conversations, workplace culture, resilience and personal growth. They also discuss why people sometimes participate in toxic behavior without realizing it and what leaders can do to recognize these patterns before they damage individuals, teams and organizations.
Alicia also shares the personal experiences that changed the direction of her life, including undergoing a proactive double mastectomy, leaving corporate life and ultimately turning difficult chapters into a mission to create meaningful change.
If you have ever wondered, “Why am I being excluded?” “Is my workplace toxic?” or “Am I imagining this?” this conversation may give you a completely different way to understand what is happening.
