Learning Points: A helping hand to confront bullying in the workplace

You survived it. So, you are resilient and you are strong. A lot stronger than you give yourself credit for.

My work life has become unbearable. My boss has an issue with me. He treats me differently than my colleagues. He never listens when I have a suggestion and often ridicules me. He has a very derogatory name he calls me; my colleagues are uncomfortable with it, but they never say anything.

Recently, I’ve started to avoid work. I have a lot of responsibilities, with bills and children, so I cannot afford to miss work. I feel isolated and I’m worried I’m going to lose my job. I was bullied when I was in school and this is bringing all that back up for me.
