Whenever I look at the clock just before leaving work, another post appears.
Whenever the end of the workday draws near, a post appears online pointing out my movements.
Scenes
- Whenever I look at the clock just before leaving work, another post appears. — Every time I look at the clock to leave work, a post pointing out my leaving time appears on the anonymous board. Now I check the screen before I even head out.
- I check the screen before I even make it out the door. — At first, I brushed it off as a single post, but similar remarks kept appearing around the time I left work. My body stops as if I have to explain even when I’m leaving.
- Repeated comments about your time can become harassment. — Online harassment does not happen only when the words are harsh. When the same person is publicly singled out at the same time again and again, even an ordinary trip home starts to feel like being watched.
- Today, save the repeated scenes instead of replying. — When a new post appears, save just one screenshot showing the post, account name, and time together. Then turn off notifications so checking and recording become separate tasks.
- Look at the pattern over time, not just one remark. — If it happens again, don’t look at each post separately. Place the dates and times side by side. Once the repeated pattern is visible, the line you need to protect becomes clearer.
