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.

It's unbelievable but it happens, I so think that if people don't speak up to what they hear or witness it will continue to go on. I at a young age was approached by a married man, I reported him told them that he had made sexual advances and in consequence they belived my to be lying. I lost my job he kept his. No doubt waiting for someone new to approach in the same way. I find this behaviour totally disgusting and always will.
Wow Piglit. In the future, tape record ...
Sorry you experienced that!
Yes!
me too was only about 20 at the time and learnt alot through that
That's a shame. Year's back a man at work sexually harassed over 15 women and no one did a thing for years until he came across the wrong person and well...he's no longer around but got away with it for a long time.
We simply go to work to WORK nothing else...
so true Rox
Meeting next week and of course the people that have caused so much pain will communicate via phone. One said that I like an audience. I am not an actress, I am a human being with feelings that were stomped over as if I was meaningless.
Thank you dear your support means a lot to me.
Hugs
I am just reading this post so I have not learned it all but so far I support you, and you gotta stand up for whats right, I have wanted to make a video, my problem I hate hearing my voice soooooo I am thinking you audio record and I can wear girls cloths with a face covered, I really am offering that, I have been trying to film something cool I have been addicted to utube since I discovered it a few months back, and I dream of being involved in one, you let me know if not do not worry abit just trying to give any support, and maybe make you guys smile since you all have given me so much
oh and I actually video/audio recorded my last time at my work, for my protection really and one of the co workers even talked to me about what the bosses had said that basically I went wacko, it shows how they all treated me very very very odd and the owners all had different ideas of what was going on... Not quite enough by its self but I have a lot of info saved up preparing for my discharge, I could tell in dec, but my family said I was paranoid, just cuz your paranoid don't mean people are out to screw you... by the end my parents could not believe I was treated as bad as I could prove, they only wished they believed sooner, but once she saw it first hand, I just hope I get the nerve to or support to report them.. So again anything you need let me know
