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.

When, a person has been wronged on so many levels, accountability is sought. I have a life and had an even better life that was inclusive of a good paying job. I worked hard and earned every penny. I'm returning to my job soon!
Hopefully, the bullies will either be gone or will never dare to hurt me again ...

When I reflect on why I hung on for so long enduring the abuse ......it was them, the patients, that gave me a purpose to continue trying because the work, impacting lives and witnessing progress was beautiful.
I cannot allow evil to diminish my purpose in life..

My purpose, my calling, is to empower and advocate for human beings living with chronic mental illnesses. It's not simply because I have one but more because I know what little support systems many of them have.
My work and the work, past or present, of my friends and peers is so important. Every human being deserves to know that they matter to someone and that they're so much more than a statistics.
Our existence is the reason many are employed! Sadly, not everyone who works in mental health should be doing so if they are incapable of treating patients and peers alike with dignity, respect and genuine compassion.
Hugs,
Rox
