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.

Thank you for the story. I am going through this right now and it's somewhat of a comfort to know that others have been through this and survived.

Every time I hear of another story like mine I cringe.
I'm going to become a lobbyists one day because what was, has and is being done should be considered "CRUELTY TO HUMANS"!
I'm sorry you are experiencing the same thing. It hurts to the core that such people even exist.
Please take care of yourself first and foremost and if you are not receiving counseling please seek some help.
To have one's spirit broken in the workplace has many consequences including horrible thoughts that invade our minds.
Although horrible to say, you are not alone and its absolutely horrible that anyone in any country should have to endure what we have endured.
Kindly & here if you need guidance,
Rox
