Workplace Gaslighting: The Power of Doubt and Managerial Entitlement 베스트 인용
Gaslighting is a slow erosion of your trust in yourself, where someone in authority sows seeds of doubt to make you question your own judgment. The goal isn't understanding; it's control.

Hi Olga, I had a thought you know what is crazy going back to work and slowly walking and taking my time clearly shows I’ve had surgery and the director said “Why did you do that now if you get clients rejecting you you know why.” Why does he feel the need to have an input on my life? What I noticed about myself was that I instantly felt like I had to defend myself or justify myself but that’s exactly what he wanted. I think that’s really disgusting behavior. Since I didn’t catch it in the mom

Workplace gaslighting involves a pattern of behavior where individuals in power use comments to make employees feel as though they have done something wrong. As discussed in the context of returning from surgery, it often manifests as sharp, jarring remarks that trigger a visceral urge to defend oneself. This tactic creates a sense of doubt and vulnerability, particularly in high-pressure environments where hierarchical structures are prevalent.
The Managerial Entitlement Complex refers to the idea that individuals in leadership positions feel entitled to have input on or control over an employee's personal life and health decisions. This complex often surfaces when a director or manager questions an employee's timing for medical procedures, such as surgery. It reinforces power dynamics by making the employee feel accountable to the manager for personal life events that impact the workplace.
In hierarchical fields like surgery, microaggressions and gaslighting are often part of a documented pattern of behavior rather than simple personality clashes. These interactions are used to maintain power dynamics and can be especially damaging when directed at vulnerable staff members. Research indicates that these behaviors are systemic issues within medical field hierarchies, where those in authority may use doubt as a tool to undermine their subordinates' confidence.
