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.

Well my friends, the toxic place/work, that caused my medical leave 1 year ago is prearing for my return.... I am returning on my anniversary date and I will be honest I don't want to ever see those people again. However, the only one that can judge me is God, and I am returning with my head held high.. I am not the same person they traumatized but I will still be an exceptional worker and simply focus on what matters to me most.....the patients that I will be serving!
Please keep me in your hearts, prayers and thoughts.. I will do the same with all of you that genuinely got me through such a difficult time..
I will keep you posted..
Hugs,
Rox

Still waiting to return....Some people, knowing they are WRONG. will never admit that they were cruel to another human being because then that would mean they would have to be held accountable for their cowardly actions.. I am not giving up!
Hugs My friends...

This issue will never get better unless all victims speak up. Do not allow bullies to silence us

Do not let anyone take your self light. The number of people on this planet with somekind of issues are more than those without. As a fellow human with issues mine is multiple personalities.

Hello Donna,
Thank you for your contribution. I am not ashamed either. What I am ashamed of is how humanity has changed for the worse. I am glad that you exist :-).

People really need to stand up against any type of disparate treatment. Especially, if a human being is intentionally being hurt!
