  > it seems that being nicer would solve this whole problem I agree 100%. Being nice is the best and solves nearly everything. Problem is, COCs give undue power to some non-nice people via "enforcement committees" and whatnot.

  It seems that mediation would be a good thing. Yet we never hear about that, even in "progressive" workplaces that are all about Diversity, Inclusion, Equity & all the other keywords. It's remarkable - your supervisor behaves in an increasingly unhinged manner towards you, and you go look for informal conflict resolution and none is to be had. Yes, there is a code of conduct, there is the diversitylady, but no way of putting a conflict to bed, just the CoC committee that we are asked to trust. Pfui!

    Aren't the "diversitylady" and the committees supposed to be the mediators during conflicts between 2 people? Can you guarantee that you'd be happy with those mediators, and won't just request another level of mediation?

      No idea what the diversity lady's job description is, but she did not mediate the conflict nor was she of any assistance at all. That experience fixed my opinion of D&I and the CoC movement, all window-dressing, no further questions required. In a different workplace I have worked through mediation and the outcome could be accepted.
