I have been working for a company for the past 9 years, and at first it was great. Then I switched positions within the company and thats when I met the worst workplace bully.
He is so cruel to everyone around him, but the worst thing about it is that he will get you alone and then just verbally abuse you and treat you like crap. There are a number of us who have expressed great concern to our Manager about this person (who is a supervisor) and the Manager tells us that he doesn't believe us. The Manager seems to think that this bully on a huge power trip walks on water, and we couldn't figure out why. Then we found out that this certain bully does half of the Manager's work for him, so they seem to have a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" kind of deal.
Just recently, a fellow employee who has been the recipient of the majority of this bully's terror had enough and went to a union representative and filed harassment against him. There were a few of us around when the bully was disrespecting and treating this certain employee like total garbage, and we were asked to write witness statements.
I was one of these witnesses, and I wrote a statement attesting to what I had seen. A couple of days after the harassment charge was filed, fellow co-workers were coming up to me and the employee who filed the charge and telling us things that the Manager and the Supervisor/bully were spreading around the company - things basically trying to discredit us and make us look bad, and all of these rumors are so untrue and vicious.
So far we have heard NOTHING about the harassment charge and what this company plans to do and has the responsibility to do about the fact that this employee, me, and many, many other employees are being harassed and bullied at work by this individual.
This supervisor needs to be terminated, this is NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.
PLEASE, CAN SOMEONE OFFER ME SOME ADVICE ON HOW I CAN GET SOMEONE TO LISTEN????
What is it with the power trips these people get on? I was accused of giving the impression I feel the staff is out to get me...um, no...just one person. Why can't that be seen? Because they simply cannot do that. If they did say, yes, there is a problem, then they open themselves up to a lawsuit for not doing something sooner. If they say there is no problem, they have to scramble to prove you are the problem..
Get out while you can, and find another job. Life is the longest thing you do...make it count.
