Anyone can be a victim of workplace harassment or mobbing; however, this does not mean that if someone harasses or mistreats another in their area, it is because they are incompetent or do their job poorly. There can always be senseless excuses for harassers even though the reality is different.
One of the factors why a person is harassed turns out to be their vulnerability; that is, young people, temporary workers, immigrants and women are attacked more frequently compared to workers with other profiles. Unfortunately, the fewer opportunities the affected person has to escape the harassment, the stronger the harasser's actions become.

How Can I Prove a Workplace Harassment Case in Court?
According to Chicago laws, if the employee suffers from workplace harassment for a period of six months with a frequency of two or more times per week, then their case can be considered as harassment or intimidation in the workplace.
Some of the most common ways to identify mobbing can be when you are ignored, pushed aside, not greeted in return or people pretend not to see you and make you feel "invisible"; they bother you all the time, don't let you express your ideas, prohibit your coworkers from talking to you, generate harmful rumors about you or make your work less valuable, no matter what you do or how hard you try.
They can also dramatize and reinforce or exaggerate the small mistakes you make with the sole intention of making you uncomfortable, threaten to fire you, transfer you to another position, not renew your contract and other groundless disciplinary tools, don't allow you to carry out your pending tasks and assign you new tasks or work to blame you for "not having done anything", assign you absurd and meaningless work, and sometimes deliberately assign you tasks that endanger your integrity or health.
They humiliate you in public, try to isolate you from your coworkers by giving you tasks that physically distance you from them, maliciously distort what you say or do to make you look bad, you receive ridicule and criticism regarding your personal life, or you receive threats verbally, in writing, by phone or through intimidating gestures.
This workplace harassment also occurs when they push or hit you to intimidate you, restrict your access to essential places such as cafeterias, water fountains or bathrooms, you are deprived of essential information to correctly perform my work, you are assigned unreasonable, excessive and unusual deadlines or workloads, or they make insinuations or sexual comments to you directly or indirectly.The concept of workplace harassment, also known as mobbing, bullying, workplace bullying and psychological terror, is a term in organizational social psychology that has been studied over the last decade. Since psychosocial science in its theoretical development of praxis affects human activity and has sociopolitical effects, theoretical study and dissemination of the subject stand out for their possible capabilities to generate other ways of understanding and intervening in reality.
