reporting safety concerns meant punishment
“You should see the disaster at the nuclear power plant I work at: retaliation against whistleblowers on safety concerns. I was awarded for a good catch one day. The next day I was given final notice and told never to speak again of this problem or I’ll be immediately fired. I’m here not to seek…

A culture of favoritism of extroverts
“I’m scared. Even though my story doesn’t involve sexual abuse or murder, there’s still stigma. I also signed something promising I wouldn’t speak badly about the company. That alone is telling. Many companies include clauses in severance or layoff agreements to intimidate employees into silence. If they were innocent, why would it be necessary? They…

A report of abuse is met with silence
I am not just as a victim but a long-term public servant whose career and health are being systematically destroyed by a toxic, retaliatory management culture. The internal system has completely failed me. I have worked for a healthcare company since 2001 and in this abusive department since 2007. After filing several grievances about a…

RETALIATION WITH NO HELP FROM HR
I am not just as a victim but also a long-term public servant whose career and health are being systematically destroyed by a toxic, retaliatory management culture. The internal system has completely failed me. I have worked for a major healthcare provider since 2001 and in this abusive department since 2007. After filing several grievances…

BULLYING IN HOSPITALITY OVERSEAS
The industry I was in was in the hospitality industry. The setting was a hotel/country club run by a British retail giant. I worked in the housekeeping department, as did the other two parties. It is thought to have some early roots in a check-in meeting with my then line manager just over three months…

WORKPLACE BULLYING AT A NONPROFIT
“I joined a mid-sized nonprofit as director of development, trading decades of senior-care leadership — and a pandemic-era frontline role — for a mission I believed in: building a best-in-class fundraising program. In my first year, I secured major contributions, launched our signature giving day campaign, and laid the groundwork to surpass our annual goals.…

TEACHER EXPERIENCES A DECADE OF ABUSE
“I began working as a preschool teacher fresh out of college — full of hope, compassion, and commitment to my calling. I accepted a position at a large Catholic parish’s early education center, believing I would be part of something good. What I didn’t know was I was walking into a toxic environment that would…

HARASSED AT A MAJOR HOSPITAL WITH NO HELP FROM HR
“I had just started a position as an endoscopy equipment technician and was not allowed training. Instead, I shadowed another technician, who had no experience with training and was extremely volatile with her behavior. She complained I took too long to perform the process. And if I asked a question, I was met with a hostile…

RETALIATION
“I’m a 45 year-old female and I’ve been experiencing retaliation and a hostile work environment in a leadership role in a large public sector office. Workplace abuse often flies under the radar — especially when it is rooted in power dynamics, favoritism, and gaslighting. Over a year ago, I reported ongoing bullying by a peer.…

ABUSED IN FAMILY CONSULTANCY BUSINESS
“I worked in a small husband-and-wife consultancy, contributing to operations, client delivery, and business growth. But my work was never acknowledged, and I was never paid. The person I trusted most, my wife, became my abuser. The bullying began with dismissive comments, control of finances, and a refusal to give credit for my work. After…
