I cry everyday because I feel so trapped in my job. I live alone and support myself if I quit I will lose everything and a place to live so I need help. I work in a professional environment and my boss is an expert manipulator thoughts of quitting run through my head everyday. I am on anti-anxiety medication and my depression is getting worse all I wanna do is be in bed. What do I do? If I quit I will have no where to go. Is anyone out there in this situation? If you are and got out how did you do it. I can’t go back to school because I maxed out student loans. I can’t get a loan from the bank currently looking for another job but no luck.

Most experts agree that it is important to find reputable consultants (Doctor, Lawyer, HR?, EEOC?) who can meet with you in person and help you determine the best way for you to move forward based on your unique situation. Listed under the resources tab on this site are articles, books, & studies related to this topic and links to other sites. Let me know how things move forward….

I am reading the personal stories on this website and I am filled with an awful sense of doom – how are we ever going to stop this nightmare that grows and infects with every hour that passes. Our call for criminalisation of workplace abuse/psychological violence falls on obstinately deaf ears (in Australia) letters, pleas, submissions to politicians, at every level, continue to be conpletely ignored. Globally, it is surely a crime against humanity so why is it not regarded with such gravity. I am at my wits end. Why don’t they car??

#1 How is anything ever going to be done when no company, organization or names can be mentioned, due to a lawsuit. In time it could be found out who the worst culprits are and weed them out. We all need to band together and step up to the plate and fight this bulling. It is almost like alcoholism, cunning, baffling and powerful to the point where it destroys lives. Financially I am ruined and mentally I am torn due to many jobs where bulling and verbal sexual assault were the norm. Lets just say I am a health care worker, where bullying has been the norm for many years. This should not be taken lightly as those bullys also abuse thier patients, but they know how to manipulate and suck hole to the boss. The boss is a part of the process many of the times.

I totally agree that we need to band together. I joined two other colleagues to create a new Internet Portal to bring together researchers, advocates, victims & the family and friends who support them, practitioners, etc etc to try and form a global dialogue that offers FREE resources & information to educate those who can help make this change. Check it out and join and feel free to share your experience and voice: the International Educational Coalition on Workplace Bullying

Year ago no one knew of such a thing as bullying in the workplace so one just shutup and putup with the crap. The circumstances have not changed a lot. I was called into the bosses quarters and told that some of the residents and co- workers had allegations that I was leaving residents in a state of neglect. I went straight to the shop steward at my workplace, as without a doubt I knew I had done no such thing. As soon as it was found out that I had done this my boss terminated me that very day only one hour later. I went to the union office in the town where I live and put in a grievence.Each time a meeting was called I had no representative to be there. They all worked in the same department as I did and for fear of losing thier jobs would not represent me. One of them even told me to zip it at all times and say nothing or I would loose my job. This was prior to my forced resignation. Following several meetings with the boss and her accomplices of whom did not even work in the same department, It was basically admitted by the boss that allegations did not exist. I looked her in the face addressed her by her name and asked her straight out WAS THERE EVER ANY ALLEGATIONS???? Her exact words in an exasperated tone were. Hmmmh! I went about this all in the wrong way. Co- workers later came to me and offered me reference for other work. As it turns out this Health Authority where I live covers a huge area and with no money due to lack of a fair living wage at other part time demeaning jobs, I am unable to just pick up my life and move. I have a close relationship with my children and grandchildren and do not feel that following years of prayer to have them all close to me, most of them have migrated to the area where I live.Why should I have to move. I came to this area for my work and I did nothing wrong! That was established. The agreements that myself,my union rep and myself came to were never adhered to from thier side and in fact they have done something to keep me from getting with in the health area. I have been the full circle more than once with the so called powers that be. If the half of what goes on with in these organizations were ever known, many of the chain of command would be out of work. I am financially ruined and mentally distraught. I should be compensated for the unnecessary indignation, financial ruin, emotional trauma etc. THERE OUTA BE A LAW!!!!!! and AN ORGANIZATION TO ENABLE the ordinary Joe to fight such BULLYING. Those involved in the bullying need to made to suffer the same hardships and down right misery they have put upon others with thier LIES, MANIPULATION, RECRUITING OF THE SHEEP ETC…..

I was fired after 34 years as a nure in a hospital. I was bullied by my manager for about a year. She made false accusations about me,ctitized my every move,twisted my words around,criticized me in front of my co-workers. What I know about “floor” nursing she hasnt had time to learn. Now I have no job, no insurance,cant get a job because the hospital put a complaint againt my nursing lisence that will take 6 to 8 months to take off. My dream of retiring and buying a toyota truck to ride my dogs around in are out the window. If I want a truck now I’ll have to build one!! When I’m in a stronger place[I hope Im not dead then} I will go to the media and give my name.For now Im a citizen Lobbyist for the HEALTHY WORKPLACE BILL in Arizona. I wrote my State Representitive and U.S Senator. I’m now asking people for their help to support this bill. I think we should have a protest march at the state capitals around the U.S.
