Gaslighting at Work—and What to Do About It

Mita Mallick, head of inclusion, equity, and impact at the firm
Carta, says gaslighting at the office is more common than many
people realize. That's when a manager or coworker engages in
behavior where one thing happens, and they try to convince the
victim otherwise. Gaslighting can damage the victim’s well-being
and performance as well as the company overall. She explains how to
recognize the manipulative behavior, what to do about it in the
moment, and how companies can respond. Mallick wrote the HBR.org

Employees."
