[acb-hsp] When Bullies Go to Work

[Claude Everett]

Don't you know that life is viewed as cheap, and the loss of such  in third
world countries is seen as just collateral damage by our military.

My wife always says, "Go to the union". The thing that many do not realize
is that there are many ways that supervisors can get retribution, and they
can get away with it.  This is why what whistle blower legislation that has
existed to this day has been so ineffective.  There was a news story the
other day about the American soldier who committed mass murder in
Afghanistan.  It was said that he "might" be tried for murder.  What's this
"might"?

That is very often what happens when people go to HR, or to Union--whomever
is supposed to assist with these matters.  Unless one is fortunate--as did
someone on this list --to work for a very strong and support HR or Union or
whatever it may be called--as you so stated, crap runs downhill, and so
sometimes, the situation becomes all the worse.  It did in my situation
because HR was being bullied too--by the same wonderful director that I was.
I guess when one thinks about it, it makes sense--after all, if its the
Director doing or allowing the bullying, well, HR isn't going to be of much
help.  Or, if the bully is friends with whomever is supposed to be
supporting you against the bully, its not going to help much either.

I've always been hesitant to call what happened to me in the workplace
bullying, because there was nothing really physical about it. I was a
federal employee, and in the federal workplace, it's always seemed to me
that, to clean up an often-used phrase, crap runs downhill. Fear and
intimidation are seen by many as valid motivational tools, and that's true
probably in any workplace. Nonetheless, I was subject to a lot of both in
varying degrees of severity, and when I went to the union for assistance it
got much worse. Sadly, the supervisor/employee dynamic lends itself very
easily to bullying, particularly that of the psychological kind.
