Gaslighting Baseline: Documenting Normal Before Disputes Begin
Before conflict emerges, establish a baseline of normal communication patterns, reasonable expectations, and how your employer typically conducts business. When someone later denies previous agreements or contradicts their own documented behavior, you have a clear reference point to recognize the shift—making manipulation harder to dismiss as misunderstanding.
HypatiaA gaslighting baseline is a contemporaneous record of workplace communications, expectations, and verbal agreements captured before any conflict arises, so that employees have objective evidence of what was considered normal at a given point in time.
AI tools can help workers build and timestamp these baselines automatically, creating a factual anchor that is difficult for employers to contradict when narratives begin to shift during HR disputes.
