Re: How to deal with unwelcoming Teammates
I agree with what's been said here, the main points are that someone brings that type of behavior to a mentor's attention, especially the lead mentor.
It shouldn't have to get beyond that for something to be done.
In our team (as I suspect most others do too) we have a ZERO tolerance for bullying and discrimination!
We make that very clear at information meetings as well as before going to competitions.
I have actually needed to pull someone aside and speak to them about this type of behavior, and the problem didn't happen again, and the team noticed.
Bullying and mean people really burn my.. I just don't put up with it.
Good for you for stepping up and mentioning it to a mentor.
