QUOTES

“Once you submit to [their bullying] and they see that they have control over you, in that sense they pretty much live off of that, they thrive off of that and there’s a compound effect to that as well, meaning like they see it, they know it, they keep kind of like sticking that dagger within you.” - Jean Tien [9:23]

“If your end goal is to have the [bully] fired, I wouldn’t go to HR, I would reevaluate that end goal because unless it’s illegal, it’s most likely not going to happen and it actually looks poorly and reflects poorly on you.” - Jean Tien [26:08]

“I think the 1 career lesson that I’ve learned that I think has helped me along the way is really to understand that what I do at the office is not about me.” - Jean Tien [37:25]
