Newly recruits getting bullied

Bullying is typically understood to be actions or verbal statements that could isolate or psychologically harm a person at work. Bullying occasionally also includes harmful physical contact. Bullying typically entails a pattern of behavior or repeated instances meant to terrorize, offend, denigrate, or humiliate a specific person or group of people. Getting bullying in the workplace is real. 
I have had first-hand experience. One month has passed. Being a fresh recruit at work. Finding newsworthy information, talking with the editors, discovering sources, setting up appointments, and arranging interviews are all constant tasks at work. Bullying of the interviewer by interviewees is one unpredictably persistent trend.
When I went out for field reporting, I never anticipated that the interviewees would bully me.
I can give you a lot of examples. This includes someone hanging up on you and failing to respond to emails sent in preparation for an interview. These are the things that have the least chance of affecting me, even if they have every right to.
The most dreadful experiences I have had were on two of the accounts. When I went to seek an interview, a representative gave me advice on how to conduct myself responsibly as a journalist even though it was his or her responsibility to respond to my question. This encounter surprised me because I’ve never been interviewed.
I got used to it after once being interviewed by an interviewee. Being bullied repeatedly was the one thing I wasn’t used to. Yet the bullies continued unabated. One of the worst of them all is receiving criticism for calling a potential interviewee when they are available. The interviewee began by asking, can’t you wait? as his opening line.
It was also the worst interview with the same subject. When I finally had a chance to speak with the applicant, their actions were unwelcoming, including smacking their lips and asking me to write down the reason why.
Stating that my queries lacked practicality and requesting that I sharpen my interrogative techniques. Despite the fact that our skill levels were completely different, it seemed like the interviewee knew more about my profession and story angle.
I was upset about this occurrence for days. It led me to think that perhaps I am not competent enough and should have been fired permanently.
I am not the only person who had to endure a harsh and demoralizing interviewee. My companion had to go up and down to meet one person for the interview simply because the organization does not have a media focal point, which causes the organization to become agitated when the media requests an interview.
This is only my narrative for today. Some persons experienced this horror but were never given the opportunity to speak.
