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.

Hi Uptopart,
This is why the petition is so close to home for me. People need to understand that biases and unsafe working conditions can negatively impact someone's life...even end it and this should be considered cruelty to humans and punishable by law.
Thank you,
Roxie

How can people simply look the other way? When a person has gone above and beyond for an employer and the annual reviews don't merit such abuse especially character assassination ...what many of us have shared clearly demonstrates that it's easier to pick on the victim instead of dealing with the underlying problem l.
Having stated this, even annual reviews are doctored to make the person feel all the more worthless.
I went to a meeting recently and the person behind it all made sure she was visible. Do you know I left that meeting to later have to call my rep and ask questions? Short term memory loss.
And, during the meeting one of the bullies made sure to continue insulting me by making comments that were false and disrespectful ...I wrote them down
Cruelty to a human being is wrong and there is no justification! And all those who look the other way and encourage the behavior need to be stripped of everything
Please continue to be strong and please sign the PETITION BELOW

Cant sign I am trying. You be strong yourself because what goes around comes around. One day the wrong persons will be picked on and handling of the matter maybe just what the bullies need a punch in the face.

Some have experienced far more. I like the old saying "What does not kill us..... makes us stronger".
Thank you for your observations and smiling and laughing is great medicine for our spirit and soul.
Take care,
Rox

Very sad. I would have loved to watch it with the bullies who almost took me there too.
I'm proud that internally I'm beautiful.

On my way to therapy to continue processing the re-traumatization by employer. I wish individuals who were trained in one area also had too have additional trainings prior to being given the opportunities to supervise others.

It would make a difference wouldn't it, It's not good when people have not had proper training
