Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice for Josh would be to discuss the situation with his manager. It is important to address the issue with someone in a position of authority who can take action to stop the bullying behavior. Josh's manager may also be able to provide support and guidance in navigating the situation. Filing a complaint with the EEOC or meeting with a lawyer may be options if the situation is not resolved through discussion with his manager, but these steps should only be taken as a last resort. Dropping an anonymous note to a supervisor may not be effective in addressing the issue and may also create difficulties in identifying and resolving the problem.
