This has been happening to me since 2006 when the City of Philadelphia dug up a contaminated site 4 feet from my house and I got really ill and had to go to hospital and told by doctors to leave my house. This city is very corrupt and most of the construction is politically connected. I fell into a viper's nest. The political people broke a lot of laws and I found out and they started as attack. Mobbed by the most powerful people in Philadelphia. I'm very suicidal. Lost home. Terrified.

this is an excellent video and an excellent channel full of great resources. I hope employers can take the time to learn more about workplace mobbing because it is definitely the worst poison.

Bolly,

I agree with you. Workplace sociopaths and narcissists target a vulnerable person and sometimes they target somebody who becomes mentally disturbed and lashes out because of the constant gaslighting and shunning. This type of stuff also happens at colleges. The staff, faculty, and some students are part of the organized harassment and shunning. They want the target to go psycho. The best thing to do is report names and details anonymously to blogs and consumer websites.

This is so true. You hit it right on the money. Alot of these workplace shootings are a result of the individual being mobbed. Dr. Robert Hart have studied the issue as well.

Gossipy and meanspirited work places breed paranoia and the group will target scapegoats. Everyone targeting one person so they won't be noticed. Eventually the target breaks down and is fired or quits, and then a new target is chosen.

My wife is hard of hearing, she does not always hear people correctly, and she tells people this, but they still get hostile with her, and are not patient with her. She cannot understand why people are mean to her all the time, and knowing her I find it hard to understand as well (she is very sweet and kind hearted), and then she blames herself. But what think I see is that because she has a slight speech impediment, can't hear well, and is a little overweight, she is looked at as stupid.

America won't address this issue because Big Business "rules". Corporate America has always treated it's workers as expendable or as a tool to be used & discarded. Especially, if the tool no longer "works' as they see fit, regardless of the individual's needs or rights. Mobbing is nothing more than bullying. Those who do it are usually predators, followers or weak-minded individuals who are too scared to speak out & not play along. Confront toxic situations, find support, then expose them!

Very good information job

[annerosemay]

I'm sorry. There are multiple problems. I'm affected by the chemicals I was exposed to & some of those symptoms cause suicidal thoughts- like mercury and lead. When I went for help, I was attacked, called crazy & abandoned to being ill alone & forced from my house. I went on all the rants like your video says. I was scared & ill but I've tried to stop. Getting weaker, more ill & totally alone. Family far away. Complete blockade of civil rights. Trying to move near to family but so ill.

@memsinan You're quite welcome! My abuse has been going on for nearly 2 years - they sacked me over this, in November 2010. The best part - I got minutes today of my appeal hearing: THEY ARE TOTAL LIES! HA HA HA! Keep your chin up... because what these DEVIANTS want, is to break your spirit. When you are really down (as I get sometimes) go upstairs, block out the world, eat a bar of chocolate and watch your favourite comedy. It really helps, at least a little. XXX
