đŸš© Subtle Signs You’re Being Gaslit at Work

‘As previously discussed…’ (About that conversation that NEVER happened.)
‘No one else has a problem with this…’ (Ah yes, classic “let’s make you feel like the problem” energy.)

Gaslighting at work isn’t always dramatic. It’s not always a boss slamming their fists on the desk, screaming that you’re imagining things. More often, it’s sneaky. It’s the little, insidious moments that make you pause and think, Wait
 am I the crazy one here?

It’s when you’re told something was ‘clearly communicated’—but there’s zero record of it.
It’s when you voice a valid concern, and suddenly, you’re ‘too emotional’ or ‘not a team player.’
It’s when they downplay your achievements, twist conversations, or rewrite history to make you feel like the problem.

Gaslighting thrives in toxic workplaces because it keeps employees second-guessing themselves instead of questioning leadership. And the longer you’re in that environment, the more you start internalizing it. You hesitate before speaking up. You over-apologize. You scan your inbox 10 times before sending a simple email—because what if you did miss something?

But let’s get one thing straight:

đŸš« Your memory isn’t faulty.
✅ Your gut feeling is trying to tell you something.
👀 If it feels like manipulation, it probably is.

Workplace gaslighting isn’t ‘tough love,’ and it sure as hell isn’t ‘professional development.’ It’s a control tactic—one designed to keep you compliant, quiet, and doubting yourself just enough to never challenge the status quo.

So, what can you do?

🛑 Start keeping receipts—document conversations, save emails, and don’t rely on verbal agreements.
⚡ Trust yourself—if something feels off, don’t dismiss it.
đŸšȘ Know when to walk away—Be brave and set those boundaries (Or start updating that LinkedIn profile… just saying 😉)
