Workplace Bullying
Bullying in the workplace is an ongoing problem America has failed to address, which puts us 20 years behind some European countries on the issue. Right now workplace bullying is, in most cases, completely LEGAL in America. We need to work to change that fact. The Workplace Bullying Institute is promoting legislation that will bring about that change.
I need to keep abreast of this issue in New York State and do what I can to help get this legislation passed. I am grateful I have not encountered bullying in my current workplace, but I have encountered it in the past. I wish I had known then what I am learning now from reading The Bully at Work: What You Can Do to Stop the Hurt and Reclaim Your Dignity on the Job, a book I bought while dealing with a toxic workplace that actively protected bullies. I would have gotten out much, much sooner than I did.
