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.

I welcome your stories and I also thank you in advance

i totally agree with you, recently i was made to learn basic maths, i mean grade three to four maths by a new indian manager, then thereafter made me learn geography, it went on for two weeks. I have never felt so low in my life, i thot i was confident but during that time i felt dumb and stupid, coz i was the only person, in the office getting the lessons (and i am am an export clerk mind you)..well the big bosses ddnt even intervene, so i just stuck it out, becuse i knew my cries were falling on deaf ears...i am looking for a new job at the moment. this place is just terrible, the discrimination is very much thick around here.

Nash,
Some people feel so worthless about themselves that they enjoy hurting others. You should still be confident. Try not to allow others to make you feel about yourself the way they feel about themselves. Evil is ugly & hurtful. Just do your job w

With pride and look for something better. Racism I don't promote. But, none of us have to tolerate injustices.
Take care and thank you for sharing.
