[acb-hsp] When Bullies Go to Work

[Baracco, Andrew W]

I have been subject to this kind of treatment at various times throughout my career.  I thought it was over, but it's happening again.  I guess at this point in my career, I have little to lose, so I will fight it with my all, but in the past, especially considering what the job market was like for PWD's and the fact that I had others depending on me I just sucked it up, even though I feel that it led to the distruction of my first marriage.  It is a tragedy that our society allows people to have that kind of power over other people.

Andy

Me, too, Andy; I had a supervisor, still at the same agency, who would pick one employee--I was it for awhile--and make their life a virtual hell; a friend had me bring in my résumé, when she knew our boss wouldn't be there after telling me she had never seen an employee treated so shabbily.

After I was gone, she picked another person--a very hardworking and dedicated person--whom she eventually drove out.

Then, we  learned later, our job placement specialist (account representative, they called them) hadn't visited a single employer during her tenure with the agency, and she believed everything this person old her including the time she said I made her life miserable during a training class we both attended when, in fact, once I had the lay of the land, I asked her for nothing.

Believe me, I can identify with this one.
