He was a large piece of my life and I still feel his presence, sometimes more than others. Maybe the loss of my brother had caught up with me. The road in front of me was much smaller and nondescript - unwritten. The portion behind me was long and beautiful with tremendous love and happiness. It looked much like a road with me in the middle of it. I awoke with a very clear picture of my life. I guess you could call this my sign or ‘aha’ moment. I even researched other professions, sort of the “What do I want to do when I grow up?” scenario. We looked at ways of supplementing our income and made a list.
We cut expenses and started putting everything into savings. My husband and I began to plan for the inevitable. She had been targeted before, but that was then and this was now.
LIQUID GOLD FOR BULLIES FULL
One co-worker would whisper words of encouragement, knowing full well what it felt like. Going to work while pretending everything was normal became more difficult with each passing day. However, it was taking its toll by impacting my health and home life. Financially, we would take a big hit, and I wasn’t sure that we would fully recover. Walking away meant cutting our income almost in half until I rebuilt my clientele. My days were full and I was compensated well for what I did. After working in the same city since 1999, I had acquired quite a large clientele. Much like a hair stylist, I rely on repeat business, and it usually comes from the same people, with the addition of new ones, on a regular basis. Walking away meant starting from scratch. Nothing seemed to help, but I couldn’t just walk away. Constantly looking for a sign: “Is there anything I can do to change the situation, or is it beyond repair? Basically, should I stay or should I go?”
LIQUID GOLD FOR BULLIES HOW TO
I read everything I could find on how to make this now toxic work environment a better place for me and applied what I could when I could. I turned to my best friends - all three professionals with successful careers and each with their own challenges behind or ahead of them. No one, in my opinion, has better advice than him. Seeking advice, I turned to my husband, a teacher who has spent years trying to make schools a better place. Reluctant to give in, I dedicated myself to improving the situation in whatever way I could. Bullies often engage in aggressive finger pointing, invade personal space and use touch as a measure of control (a bone-crushing handshake) or a means to patronize (a pat on the head).” The body language of bullies includes staring, glaring or totally ignoring the target when he/she speaks. They yell, insult, throw tantrums, steal credit, spread rumors, withhold crucial information and/or socially isolate their targets by excluding them. Bullies at work practice psychological violence.
“By definition, workplace bullying is the repeated, health-harming mistreatment of an employee in the form of verbal abuse or behaviors that are threatening, intimidating or humiliating.
