Questions
Everything you need to know.
What if my manager is the difficult coworker?
This playbook is for peers. If your manager is the problem, document everything and go to HR or skip‑level manager. We include a note on when to escalate.
I'm afraid HR will fire me if I complain. What should I do?
The HR decision guide helps you assess risk. Build documentation first. Consider a confidential conversation with HR about 'general policy' without naming names. Don't go alone – bring a witness if possible.
What if the coworker denies everything?
That's why documentation is key – date, time, what was said, witnesses. The email templates create a paper trail. If they deny, you have proof.
Can I use these scripts over chat/Slack?
Yes – adapt the phrases for written format. For sensitive topics, take it offline or to email. Avoid airing conflicts in public channels.
What if nothing works and I have to quit?
The playbook includes a 'last resort' section – how to leave professionally, collect documentation for unemployment, and protect your references.
