Her line manager excluded her from team lunches, planned birthday celebrations for everyone on the team except her, and even bought snacks from Bangkok for everyone but her.
These are the claims being made by a medical social worker, as her TikTok post about alleged workplace bullying went viral, with many commenters offering support and advice.
@steaks.andbones shared her experiences in a Dec 15 TikTok post titled “bullying by isolation in a healthcare setting“. In the caption, she said that these incidents occurred after she shared that she did not feel supported by her supervisor.
She alleged that the team lead, following a trip to Bangkok, bought snacks for everyone on the team except her. In another instance, the supervisor personally called other colleagues out for lunch, excluding the TikToker even though she was seated at her desk at the time.
The social worker, who has an eating disorder, also claimed the team lead planned birthday celebrations with other co-workers without her knowledge, even telling the birthday girl that the team had “discussed and decided” on a gift together.
Left out of scrubs order
She added that she had been on hospitalisation leave and didn’t check her email when the team was ordering scrubs. “Admin asked for team/ team leads to help absent members order. My team lead didn’t and now I don’t have scrubs,” she wrote.
