Bully At Work
Companies self-destruct when thugs out of control!
I have vivid memories of being bullied when I was a fourth year. Darrell would line me and others in the class each morning and extort our lunch under the threat of fighting for the mill! Darrell had already lost two levels and dominated worldwide. We very intimidated. Tired of seeing other children enjoying meals that I had an idea. I'll tell my mom and me alone! I knew that my mother taught me empathy.
Wrong! She gave me one of the worst beatings of my life and said "boy take your lunch money. I'll call tomorrow to make sure your teacher for lunch. "Now, I was really in a jam, I had to decide who I was more afraid of Mom or Darrell! I do not have an inch of sleep at night and the next morning, I went to school with the hope of hiding from Darrell. Unfortunately, I got a lot of homework before the bell and began to book me for refusing to spit food.
During the fight, I remember being encouraged by other victims of the tyranny of Darrell. Fortunately, the teachers came and saved me from punishment. Darrell and I saw to my surprise, I actually had a bloody nose! As we drove to the office of director, who was cheered and applauded in the back by my colleagues class. I have also received much attention from girls in my class. I explained the director of the extortion of Darrell Mom and response. He referred me to Darrell class and was suspended for a week. After that, I never had problems with Darrell. We really became good friends.
Unfortunately, there are "Darrell and Darrellettes "in the workplace that are so intimidating to his colleagues. Standing in the workplace bullies can be so terrible for the victims. Mobbing can take many forms, such as
According to harassment in the workplace Wikipedia, "is the tendency of individuals or groups to use persistent aggressive or unreasonable behavior against a colleague." According to my experience, I have witnessed intimidation of customers, suppliers, visitors and other stakeholders! The workplace bullies often take advantage of power …
… The "target" their abuse. Many times this problem is played in front of witnesses to destroy the self esteem of the victim. When management allows bullying, confidence in the workplace is nonexistent. Studies show that when there is a climate of distrust, employees tend to be poor. Thus, bullying is bad for business. when employers are aware intimidation of employees and directors and do nothing to fix, share the negative consequences. Workplace bonuses come in all shapes, genders, races and sizes and have a great need for control. The four basic types of work bullies.
A national survey conducted by the Workplace Bullying Institute says 37 percent or 54 million American workers have been or are being harassed at work. Gary Namie, director the Institute, said: "It's a silent epidemic." Harassment is also called mobbing "Where two or more directors or employees a victim of gangs. Co-workers who witness a higher level of bullying and stress. Employees who are the objectives of the exhibition …
Since there are no laws protecting employees against harassment is no clear definition for it. Therefore it is difficult to distinguish from other behaviors such as sexual and racial harassment. To this point, the federal government has no laws on workplace harassment. Companies and organizations in general, have no policies to prevent it. However, the legislation, several states have offered to provide employees with some protection. Here there are some things employees can do to protect themselves.
Keep good records detailing the behavior of thugs in a period of time. This includes names, dates, times, places, witnesses, etc. Try to get the bully to create a paper trail for you. You'd be surprised how easy it is to get people who misbehave in the workplace by e-mail their intention to negative toward you. I have successfully used e-mail that requires a response in this regard. Save all documents received from the intimidation that allows you to demonstrate their charges against him are false. Finally, if possible always try to have one or more witnesses who did not feel intimidated or a part of intimidation "mafia" on how to witness what is said and done.
Awareness and position as they did against Darrell are the most effective ways to discourage and prevent harassment in the workplace. Get legal advice is always an option, and specific laws taken to protect employees.
