Most unexpected workplace bullying encounters
I’d never forget when my coworker pointed out my basic black color lunch bag. She said to me “oh just a black lunch bag” I look around and everyone has some sort of colorful pattern on their lunch bag. I was 22 years old at the time, my first big girl job, and I’m being picked on by people old enough to be my mother or grand mother age. Besides, I picked the color black lunch bag because I thought it’s time to grow up and move away from the colorful lunch bags. Apparently not. Can you guess…that I work in healthcare. I brushed it off. It’s just a lunch bag. Years later, I still use that lunch bag. But of all the things, a lunch bag color, really? Gen X and before got some unresolved issues to point out a lunch bag color.
