I haven’t been working that long in a corporate or office setting, but for the several stints I have worked at an office, I generally tried to get along well with my coworkers and to do a decent job. I didn’t try to please my superiors, so long as I was doing my job right. Nevertheless, I wasn’t insensitive to politics in the office neither was I invulnerable to them. I knew when I was being taken advantage of or was experiencing ‘workplace aggressions’, though I never felt the need to push back. Instead, I simply weighed my options and when I found the right opportunity, I jumped ship to preserve my own sanity and well-being.

For some people however, it might not seem apparent that they are being bullied at work, as there are people who are just so unassuming, naive, and kind-hearted that they don’t recognize how they’re being persecuted by their bosses or their colleagues. Moreover, bullying at the workplace can be very subtle as well, so you might not realize it either that you are being bullied already. Perhaps, one of the more common or recognizable items on this list is micro-managing. Nobody wants their bosses to breathe down their neck, and nitpick every single thing that they do. It just shows how much lack of trust your superior has with you. Apart from that, here are the other five examples of workplace aggressions that people may not recognize as bullying.
