is it legal if your boss grabbs you by the wrist and pushes you at work??

@925jdb You may want to talk to a counselor who you can tell the whole situation to, and they are trained in how to respond. You have options but you need to seed competant advice from therapist/union rep or soemone similiar. Good luck!

@friattmoooo well that's when one starts to wonder whats going on, when "rules" are arbritrarily enforced, overlooked sometimes and sometimes penalties exacted. That's part of the inconsistency that can be part of bullying behavior. Everyone says first calmly talk to the person about it, but if it's your boss of course it's a bit difficult to do that, and then we worry about making it worse so....

You were targeted because someone didn't like the fact that you were good at what you do. That's all it takes. Right Linda?

I don't know their smiles just get to me all the time I hate them with all my heart whenever I see them, it's difficult to get through.

Thanx for sharing your video, but sometimes the manager talks to you as if you have made a mistake whereas you haven't..

Or sometimes he or she wants you to obey the rules, only YOU, for example if you didn't dress a black suit, the manager would be upset with you because you're not dressing as he/she wishes, while in the same time there is another employee working at the same departmant and this employee is not judged .. What do I do in this case???
