One of the ways coercive controllers target folks in the workplace is through isolation. Isolation might be used by isolating the target from their coworkers by turning them against the target. Or they might isolate them from information they need to do their job.

This is today’s reminder that you cannot judge whether a behavior is part of a pattern of coercive control or not without including context. The exact same behavior used by a coercive controller to coerce and control could be used by a targeted victim to protect themself or someone else.
