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

This happened to my friends husband. He quit a good job because he could not cope with the abuse. Why do you think this is allowed. He found another job but it took time because the employer continued to abuse him with bad recommendations. He had a pal call for a reference and recorded his boss making false statement. Needless to report he is suing that person.
This is depressing. I agree this is wrong

You know what the saddest part of all my discussion is? My employer is funded to treat disadvantaged populations with chronic mental illnesses. As I prepare to go out I'm reminded of the increasing number of blinding headaches I endured after my ECT.
I have taken my Imitrex and Soma but it's not going away.
ECT saved my life. I'm humbled and grateful but Remeron was all I needed until I became a sitting target.
On a positive note, the judge in my case has granted me online filing which makes things on me easier because the case was transferred to another US District Court. Wondering if having to now deal with this process is causing me anxiety.
Talk to all later.

Thank you Piglit. Eventually things will work out but the thought of the process invokes a panic attack.
