Group What's App

Oscie

Hi there,

I have recently been in a work What's App group due to the lockdown. It is a large group and some of the members are using covert bullying tactics. This is  making me anxious. I don't know how to quit without causing offence. Any ideas? Thanks

  • Hi, I've been under a lot of pressure to use videoconferencing, and I hate putting myself on camera, I have to stim all the time, and everyone can see me stimming like mad on camera. So I've done the same thing others have suggested and just faded out and not used the camera. I have toed the line, just about and made the occasional comment, audio only. I think if my boss challenges me, I'll just tell him it's not my cup of tea and I'll work better if I don't have a camera in my face. It's hard to ignore the truth.

    Does your boss know that you struggle with this form of communication? He or she should be supportive, top down management is so yesterday.

    I'm not sure. He probably does know, but knowing is not understanding.  To be honest, my life strategy is that I just want to be a useful figure in the background, and not be The Problem One.
