@that478baby’s 5-second video on TikTok was vague, but she insinuated with her text caption that the manager wouldn’t leave her alone.
Another Side Of The TikToker
Accompanying her explanatory text caption was a voiceover declaring her a “crazy psycho b-word.” The short video showed two men talking, based on her caption; one was her father while the other was the “annoying” manager.
She didn’t explain what prompted the situation or how the manager pestered her so the other TikTok users couldn’t pick sides. However, they made jokes about fathers stepping in to save the day for their children.
TikTokers Share Their Thoughts On Fathers Saving Their Children
Some joked about having no fathers to save their lives, while others mentioned their fathers were alive but deadbeats. A group of TikTokers called her out for involving her parent in a professional setting, while others said it was a fair reaction when one is at their wit’s end.
The negative comments prompted the poster to turn them off, leaving the video up for entertainment. It has almost sixty thousand likes and 120 shares.
Dealing With Bully Managers
Entrepreneur offers six effective solutions for handling work bullies including shifting focus from the boss to the work, setting silent and verbal limits, working with other employees experiencing the same harassment, and reporting to a higher authority.
These tactics don’t come without their hardship as 65% of bullied workers lose their jobs after addressing the situation. It’s also a common phenomenon with 60 million American workers.
Reporting Sexual Harassment At Work
Since the poster is a lady, it’s possible the incident was sexual because that’s one thing that’ll prompt a father to show up at his daughter’s workplace. The Muse suggests the first and best step is to report to law enforcement.
For such a law enforcement suit to work, you should do the groundwork first. Start by documenting the instances, call out the harasser, consult a lawyer then take the case to law enforcement.
Also, ensure all your actions are according to the company’s policy to confirm its participation in taking down the harasser.
