Listening to you it feels as if you know me and what happened to me. I have sent this to people I know to help them understand what I went through.

ThanksX

For all those employers who bully employees or ignore bullying, please note - an employment tribunal in the UK has recently awarded £4.1m (US$6,425,725) against an employer who engaged in bullying of an employee and allowed others to bully the same employee. Two employees involved have been ordered to pay heavy damages as well as the employer. Be warned. The victims of bullying are fighting back. And the cost of bullying is high - very high.

I'm going through exactly what your going through now. Just got out of the hospital and diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Same BS. I was forewarned by long time citizens about this company, but I needed the income. The boss was threatened by me b/c I excelled at my work. The place was dirty and I cleaned up my area and that is what brought on the bullying. It was bad management all the way up. I heavily believe in Karma. Just do what you need to do to take care of you.

Wish you folks would take on the ORGANIZED MOBBING, not "bullying",or even "group bullying", the popular US euphemism.

This is often ORGANIZED and it starts in MIDDLE SCHOOL!

So now I'm a City letter carrier and I'm doing quite well and I love it but guess what! Now a fricken 60 year old mail carrier is trying to harass me in a round about way on the work room floor. I will not will not will not put up with it anymore. I am writing everything down this time and I will make any bullies accountable!!!!!

I was bullied by women employees at a medical office I worked at to the point they lied to the dr's saying I didn't do my work etc and so they fired me! They said they would give me a good reference. I went to my next medical office then was bullied by the bitch office manager after I lost 15 pounds...the girls I worked with sucked her butt because they were afraid of her so they gave me a bad review but then said oh but your a great employee we'll give you an excellent reference!

I am a victim of workplace bullying and it is true; the bullys behavior is supported by the CEO/director. When the bully is Lorraine, Lorraine can do no wrong.. She is trying to save the institution money, no lay off; just bully senior minority workers; 20-35yrs of service with excellent yearly performance appraisals so they will resign. I am not allowing 35yrs of service to be erased. The bully and institution supporting these tactics will be exposed to the media. I will blog my experiences.
