#askhr Is It Bullying, Misunderstanding, or Just Different Work Styles – Resolving the Dilemma?

“My colleague accused me of tracking their mistakes, and I don’t feel comfortable going to HR. What should I do?”

Understanding the Difference – Is it workplace bullying or just office etiquette?
Effective Communication – Addressing concerns before tensions escalate
Employer’s Role – Setting clear expectations for a respectful work environment
Employee’s Responsibility – Knowing when and how to voice concerns

Our Response: It’s important to differentiate between personal preferences and professional concerns. If a colleague’s actions are impacting your work, open and calm communication can help resolve tensions. If direct discussions don’t feel comfortable, HR can mediate—not just enforce rules.
