Workplace Violence Hurts ... It Almost Ended My World
Do you know of someone who has been made to feel worthless by a boss, company,or a culture; that promotes and rewards cruelty to human beings?
Do you think it's o.k. to go to work, work hard and be intentionally hurt by workplace bullies who abuse their power?
Just like bullying in classrooms/schools is leading to bullycide's and a host of psychological issues for our youth, adults in the workplace across the world are also suffering.
Workplace, discrimination and retaliation (if you report the sometimes unlawful behaviors):
Robs an individual of their self worth, causes enormous amounts of stress, exacerbates pre-existing health conditions, can limit one's career growth, results in the hard work one does not being recognized and can also include defamation of character, slander, hostile and unhealthy work environments and even SUICIDE!
Sometimes the behavior can be subtle but the abuser knows exactly what he or she is doing. Often the abuser is manipulative and convinces individuals who they perceive as weak to do the dirty work for them so when the behavior is finally reported they are protected.

I welcome your stories and I also thank you in advance

Good Morning my friends,
Workplace violence, discrimination and retaliation is not a new social issue. It's in the forefront more today because human beings are fed up. Life, albeit beautiful, has many obstacles and the last thing people need is to report to work to be productive and instead of being rewarded for excellent work be traumatized or re-traumatized, in some cases, and contemplate leaving one's source of livelihood.
The one's that need to leave are the one's who cannot control their inability to be humanely.
Why do law's, policies, procedures and even unions exist? People have been abusing their power since the beginning of time! It's getting old and it's destroying innocent lives until God or a higher power says enough! In my case, it was enough and although I wanted to die, I am still here and I'm not going any damn place and my voice may crack, my tears may fall and my spirit may be bruised but I'm fighting back!
In solidarity against bull crap at work!
Hugs,
Rox

Hello Reader's,
A person who works hard and/or also goes to school to enhance professional skills should not have to tolerate abuse of power, cruelty, racism, inequality or retaliation when he/she goes to work.
Work should enhance a life not destroy one. Individuals who condone injustices in the workplace should be let go immediately. There are so many dedicated and hard working individuals all over the world being mistreated, projected upon and scapegoated that it's really a shame.
It would be within the realm of reason to study the impact of horrible working conditions on a persons pshyche as well as exacerbation's of pre-existing health conditions and the development of new medical issues.
Unhealthy and unprofessional work environments need to be monitored closely and changes in leadership should take place immediately.
Being that I reside in America I call this pandemic ...."An American Tragedy In The Workplace".
Hugs,
Rox

3 Reactionsso true Rox things sure do need to be adressed.concerning these ongoing problems. You know when I removed my son from school due to bullying issues and lack of concern from the teachers, the law on bullying was meant to change. It never has and 10 more children were removed from the school that he was at the following year due to bullying and unproffesional attitudes of the staff. So sad that this keeps on happening in the workplace and schools etc Hugs Piglit

That's so sad..... This is all the more reason that people not be afraid to have their voices heard.
I was just told it's Thursday and I thought it was Friday. The impact is enormous and no one deserves maltreatment ...no one.

1 ReactionHello Anonymous,
This has been my life for over a decade. I refuse to quit because I work hard and haven't done anything wrong. Every time someone reports the above also happening to them it motivates me all the more to continue in this unfortunate battle to expose how workplace violence, discrimination and retaliation needs to be addressed immediately.
Please share examples if you write again because everyone needs to take note of the devastating effects.
Hugs,
Rox
What I find disheartening is that each state in the US has an attorney general. In my case, instead of protecting me and holding people accountable, the agency is protected despite all it's wrong doings.
No respect or empathy for how a life was impacted at all. Had it been another agency not affiliated, the attorney general would even be all over the news bragging about how important the protection of human life is but those with close ties are not held to the same standards: Equality, human dignity, no tolerance for workplace violence and a zero tolerance for retaliation when one reports unprofessional and unethical practices.
It's a sad sad way to practice but it's my reality.....
Hugs,
Rox
