In Darkness Light Dawns: Exposing Workplace Bullying

Summary

Dread work because someone there is making life miserable for you? You're not alone. Workplace bullying is rampant in workplaces throughout North America and around the world. Also known as psychological harassment or emotional abuse, bullying involves the conscious, repeated effort to wound and destroy another person not with violence, but with words and actions. Bullying damages the physical, emotional, and mental health of the person who is targeted. Tragically, some targeted individuals commit suicide in efforts to escape the pain. Workplace bullying hurts, but hope is at hand. It is possible, if you are being bullied, to take charge of the situation rather than giving in to fear, dread, and passivity.
