In the past, I always encountered co-workers who love to pull me down without thinking the consequences. At first, I kept in silence and ignored them. However, I am still a human being and need to be respected. As the years go by, I learned how to confront them. In my mind, I cannot let them do this again and again.

I am sure they will not beat you with that. I do have a master's degree and changed my mind to pursue one more in UPLB. For the reason that it is not a perfect timing because of the aftermath of this pandemic.I have not experienced it at my workplace.

Humans have this tendency to always want to prey on the weak or at least something or someone they feel they are stronger than. The more you ignore this set of people, it would make them want to do more. But when you let them know you are not some pushover, they would give you that respect.

It is my persona to call their attention when having this kind of situation. In fact, I will just give them a warning. There will be second warning for me. They will be reported for the next time around.
The truth is that it happens to workers who present themselves tone docile. From the first day, you have to let other colleagues know that you are not a walk over that can be used anyhow.
It is very important for you to always mind your business whenever you are at your workplace because that is the only way you will maintain your sanity and do your job every time.
