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

Thanks for your response
I have not done anything wrong ...they have and as long as God gives me breathes to breath I'm holding them accountable.
You cannot attempt to destroy a life and get away with it. I am vested and have over a decade of hard work to be proud of. Trust me when I tell you that I'm not the only one anxious and sleep deprived today.
I think most people would quit... I'm not most people.
Hugs,
Rox

@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.....

Rox

There are 1000s of jobs you can find out there. It is not worth sticking to just one where people don't tread you right.

Yes, there are 1000's of job's. I love what I do and do it well. How will we put an end to workplace violence, discrimination and retaliation if instead of setting a presidence we are all quitting?
The one's that need to quit are the one's engaging in unlawful, unethical and unprofessional practices.
Thank You!

so true Rox but as you know our work we are so passionate and professional about. So why should you or any of us quit., through uncaring and unlawful practices that unfortunatley occur in our fields of or proffession and many others as well. If we all had the attitude of lets just quit, it's frightening to think of these control freaks would have more power than they do already Voices need to be heard we need to stand up for what is right , then a difference will be made in our messed up so called society that we live in Piglit
