When you’re told to “document it,” while you’re being bullied at work, it can feel like just another burden — one more exhausting task piled onto an already painful experience. But documentation isn’t busywork. It’s your silent witness, your record of truth, and one of the strongest tools you have against workplace bullying.
In this episode, Dr. Jan Kircher breaks down why documentation matters, what kinds of details to capture, and why even small moments are worth noting. With real examples, she shows how consistent documentation helps reveal patterns, protect your credibility, and bring clarity when bullying feels overwhelming.
If you’ve ever felt like documenting is pointless, this episode will show you why it’s worth the effort — and how it can become part of your strategy to face workplace bullying.
