Whether the gaslighter is your direct manager, a coworker, a senior leader, or even someone who reports to you, its negative effects are the same.

Great article! Just like with men, when our employer or supervisor disrespects us, we take decisive action to remove ourselves from the relationship. You can’t instantly block and delete an employer, but you can find a new job asap.

I was continuously gaslit by the CEO I assisted until I resigned. Unfortunately I did not have another job secured to fall back on but I could not take the abuse anymore.
