Do You Work For A Bully?

Have you ever been the victim of bullying at work?

I have been bullied in the workplace and some of my friends have recently been bullied by their bosses, so I decided to do a bit of research on the topic.

I stumbled upon an excellent article called "Psycho bosses on the loose. Are you in their line of fire? by Hillary Freeman of the Guardian, dated Saturday March 10, 2001. http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4149556,00.html

The mere thought of a "psyco" boss sounds absurd, but believe me - they exist and I have have had the pleasure to work for one!

When I read Hillary's article, I found myself nodding my head and saying "yes!" when I read about a behaviour I have witnessed myself.

She writes: "Any perceived 'vulnerability' can be enough to make you a target - even if it's just your need for secure employment. In fact, the majority of people who come to me with accounts of being bullied are popular and good at their jobs. The highest performers are targeted so the bully can take credit for their achievements.

This is very true and if your boss don't know what your "vulnerability" is, they will charm other staff into disclosing that type of information or they may even ask you in person. One of my bosses tried extract my "weakness" from me personally by asking me "why do you work?". When I gave a stupid answer like "to have a warm cup of coffee while my todler is in day care", she kept pressuring me for a proper answer and then tried to lay words in my mouth by saying "to get some job satisfaction?". So you have to be alert and divert the attention away from yourself and don't let them put words into your mouth. By not responding to their suggestions they may actually believe that they have pinpointed your "weakness".

Hillary gives another piece of advice: "If you think your manager is a psychopath the only thing I can advise is to get out before the damage is done. The more you recognise them for what they are the more you'll become a target."

Please let us know what youth thoughts are and what advice you can give to others who face this very stressful situation in their lives.

Love & Light
