In the workplace, how should newbies face verbal violence? Should we suffer silently or rise up and resist?

I was chatting with my cousin in the past two days, and he said that he was verbally attacked by his colleagues. My cousin is a graduate of a 211 prestigious university in Beijing. After graduation, he joined a domestic listed company with over 10,000 employees. When it comes to work, he was just a grassroots person when he first joined the company. He did everything together with everyone.

Later, my cousin became a supervisor and only had to deal with some important things every day. Other things were often done with their former colleagues. It was natural for subordinates to have managers to do things. But some colleagues don't like it and often say to him secretly: "What's so great about him? He is also a graduate of a prestigious university, but he still doesn't get the same salary as me."

My cousin is very distressed. He says that some of his colleagues like to talk about him in front of others. He can't stand these verbal attacks. What should he do? A screenshot of a WeChat group showed that new employees at a banking school were insulted and slapped in the face because they did not drink alcohol that was respected by their leaders, sparking heated discussions online. The screenshot shows that a new employee in the "Campus Recruitment 2020" WeChat group of Bank A's Beijing Zhongguancun Branch was beaten and scolded by the leader of A because he did not drink "donkey-hide gelatin" when eating with colleagues at Hotel A in Beijing.

In fact, this incident is just one of many forms of workplace bullying. Not to mention, since this year alone, there have been multiple incidents of workplace bullying that have repeatedly refreshed people’s cognitive bottom line: employees with poor performance were forced to eat spicy noodles, employees’ bonuses were deducted for not posting ads in their Moments, and employees were Being asked to kowtow in the street to thank the company... This is not an unspoken rule in the workplace, but a typical workplace bullying.

Workplace bullying refers to the unreasonable behavior of an individual or group towards colleagues or subordinates in the workplace, including verbal, non-verbal, physical and psychological abuse or humiliation. Many netizens have experienced workplace bullying to one degree or another. Some are blatant bullying, and some are oppressive to newcomers. The "bully" mistakenly thinks it is a workplace rule. Holding back won't get you a better deal, it will only get you a better deal. Employees should recognize the true face of workplace bullying and show their strength when necessary, which is also the best way to protect themselves.
