The coworker who told me to 'just ignore the bullying' was completely wrong

My office mate kept telling me to not engage with a toxic manager who was singling me out in meetings, but after 3 months of that approach I almost quit. Once I finally documented everything and went to HR with specific dates and quotes, the problem got addressed in under a week. Has anyone else had the 'just let it roll off your back' advice backfire on them?

Respectfully, sometimes ignoring it really does work if you pick your battles.

My uncle actually tried this with a neighbor's loud dog for 6 months (completely ignoring it, I mean) and the barking got so bad animal control had to get involved eventually because it stressed out the whole block.
