March 19 2024- Gaslighting, commonly associated with relationships, is increasingly prevalent in the workplace across various industries. Regardless of one’s profession, from fashion to law, real estate, nursing, entertainment, or education, anyone can experience gaslighting from colleagues. Identifying gaslighting can be challenging initially, which is why psychologists emphasize recognizing red flags. Dr. Jaime Zuckerman notes that gaslighting often involves a power imbalance, with the gaslighter typically holding more authority, seniority, or influence. This could be a boss, manager, HR personnel, board member, or even a colleague. Gaslighting signs include subtle manipulative behaviors aimed at undermining the victim’s perception of reality. It’s crucial to document instances of gaslighting and respond assertively. By being aware of gaslighting tactics, individuals can confront the behavior effectively and prevent its harmful effects in the workplace.
