In a conversation from Harvard Business Review's "Women at Work" series, Maria, a project manager, discusses her struggles with Mike, a senior colleague who has become a source of stress instead of support. Previously a mentor, Mike's current behavior disrupts the team's dynamics, creating an unsustainable environment. Amy Gallo emphasizes the importance of addressing these challenges through behavioral science-informed strategies to foster better working relationships and improve mental health at work. A focus is placed on the urgency of resolving conflicts to ensure team continuity and morale.

Maria's tormentor used to be an actual mentor and her boss.
