Work Place Bullying

Hello Everyone,

Evelyn Here,

Today Has my fill of bullies and their bullying both with trouble makers outside my work place and those in my work place.  I spoke to a supervisior about it today. I am possible to speak more on it tomorow, but I really do not see the need.  It is clear on the job hazing and bullying. I stood up against this bullying more than once, but it is clear that these persons not only enjoy doing it, but that their ostracizing me, and than trying to bully me when I am only trying to do my job or go about daily life, shows me that they care nothing for my feelings or me as a person.

Since, I have an understanding of which I speak, I am adding the definitions of the two most forms of workplace bullying from Impact Factory.

----------

Workplace Bullying - Intimidation, harassment, unfair criticism and blame, belittling sarcasm; being shouted at, ordered about, dismissed, singled out. All these are types of overt bullying.

 

Covert bullying, on the other hand, is less obvious. It can take the form of being overlooked for promotion, someone gossiping about you, being lied to or having information withheld. It can be as insidious as being manipulated into doing something you'd rather not, putting your desk in an awkward place, never inviting you to join the 'gang' for lunch or after work drinks at the pub, not being included in team activities. All things guaranteed to undermine confidence and self-esteem
