Quote From: chouchouIs this message board still current? just skimming through the site and I found this (I'm already in the shared diaries quite often.)
anyway - i went through office bullying a few years ago. - there were four of us, who had gotten on very well with a manager who left; the new manager was not nearly as pleasant and encouraged by a vengeful guy who thought he should have been the new manager. At first she seemed nice but just used everything she learned about us to be hurtful. This lasted over several months and took a huge toll on my health, I completely lost my appetite. I quit because my husband transfered somewhere else. The next place was great but it took me at least a year to realize everything was ok and not flinch if someone I worked for was in a bad mood. So if you start to panic just remember it's a different place and think right away of the good things you've done there so far.
Thanx Chouchou for your pointer to work place bullies, I am still trying to find my way around.
I find that it does really affect my appetite sleeping patterns and trust, being positive does help though which i am thankful for the reminder.
What I find helpful is that I can read other peoples experiencesand know that I am not alone I feel a mutual understanding.
The place that I am from no one talks about it first hand or no one mentions it bulling is kept hush hush I think possibly because it is such a small province so fear rules fear in a way.(logically I know I can't be the only one in the world who has encountered some form of bulling) cheers chou
