The stress with pains shooting up my neck and chest and intense tension has still not gone away. I am off work with traumatic stress but the bullying still goes on. My co-worker fortunately found another job soon after she filed a harassment grievance. I became the principal target and work was a living hell. I am a reliable, hard working, dedicated, employee who builds a strong rapport with clients and sincerely works to the best for everyone.
Bullying is so destructive.
It must stop. We need legistation to clearly include and define bullying as harassment. Apparently two of my co-workers remember the serial bully from school and describe her as a terrible bully, and one woman says that she was terrified of her. The more stories I read about bullying the more it seems that people do not graduate from school so much as they survive it. Also, in many instances not only is the bullying ignored, but the victim blamed for being the target of the bullies' behavior.
