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

Hello,
Talking or expressing myself about the cruelty that I have been enduring is important especially since so many others have shared similar experiences. Silence does not help put an end to workplace violence, discrimination and retaliation. Unless more people stand up for their civil, human and employee rights this serious and often criminal issue will only get worse.
There are some people in this world that are truly troubled and hurting others makes them feel good about their sad existence.
I won't be silenced! I'm only just beginning to tell my story and will continue telling it until it impacts CHANGE ...

Hi. Don't talk in depth about your lawsuit. Just surprise them. Further, you never know who these people your friends with are. They can be peer's trying to get a step ahead of you. I would advice you to discuss the impact the experience had on your life. No more. I would also file ethics complaints with each discipline. Contact your local chapters. Not judging but trust no one. File the reports you need to and allow yourself to heal and the the law deal with the boss/s.

Absolutely! If you are being targeted by someone who hates you because:
They feel threatened
They are jealous of you
They wish they were you
You have to speak up because silence makes em feel powerful

@roxie43

Once a boss learned that I had bipolar the way that he treated me was similar. I took time off work to return to made up new policies. The treatment was condescending and rude. It was my highest paying job but I quit. The next job was much better and my boss was nice and compassionate. What you discuss is a felony I'm thinking. If you were really approached in a cruel and disparate manner you have a hell of a lawsuit. Will your physicians testify?
I agree with China be firm & turn on the heat. Good luck
