[quote=Anonymous]OP, perhaps you can view this as a learning experience for your niece.  If other employees are harassing you (especially if it borders on bullying and even more so if the other employees are close to the supervisor), that's a huge red flag.

I know everyone advises against going to HR, but this is a case where if you can't find another job immediately, going to HR might actually protect you.  You just have to make sure the complaint you make to HR sticks to facts.

While the boss would have likely found a way to fire your niece eventually, it would have taken longer if she had complained to HR, because then HR (in order to protect the company) would have leaned on the boss to build a case and have clear documentation.  That takes time, and it would've given your niece a little time to apply for other jobs.

But the lesson should be, if a coworker who is a favorite of the supervisor or who is friends with the supervisor appears to have it out for you, it's not enough just to distance yourself from that employee.  You have to be proactive.

I've seen this sort of thing happen before in past jobs.  [/quote]
