Workplace Violence Hurts ... It Almost Ended My World

Posted by Roxie43 @roxie43, Apr 13, 2012

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.

Please sign this petition and together let's put an end to a behavior that should never be accepted nor encouraged.

I welcome your stories and I also thank you in advance

@roxie43

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.....

It is sad Rox. Incredible also that the agency that has done all the wrong against you can still be protected by the law.

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".

I have to believe that all my suffering, loses and still being out of work in the end will triumph over corruption and malice.

Stop it with the news already! Media involvement will come in if we go to trial.

you do need to stop it with the news. It's not just a matter of ringing them up. There are legalities involved that have to be dealt with sensitivity. You don't won't this to become a media fanfare

Hi Piglit,
I wouldn't call the media because in all honesty what have they done for me? What can they do?

I don't really think it's necessaryto get the media involved. There is nothing that I I feel that they could do. The final decision will be made by the ruling judge Piglit

I agree Piglit,
Who wants a circus involved in such a serious and private matter... I don't even know why I even responded to her or whom ever that is.
