WORKPLACE BULLYING AND MOBBING
“I experienced workplace bullying and mobbing at two different organizations — one in the healthcare insurance sector as a team manager, and another in public health as a program director. At my first role, I was placed in charge of managing underperforming contingent workers and was pressured by leadership to “clean house.” In response, some…

FEAR OF RETALIATION
“I worked in a public safety department. The bullying began in early 2022 after I returned from a long COVID-related absence. One rainy day, I requested permission from a supervisor to retrieve my raincoat but was denied and ordered to go directly to my post. I followed orders and ended up getting sick. I reported…

IGNORED, VIOLATED, AND BLAMED
“I’ve endured continuous harassment and assault — physically, sexually, and psychologically — both at work and in my personal life. I’m an artist with a background in medical studies, unshaken by nudity or taboo topics. So when I say I was sexually assaulted, I mean it was severe. The incident resembled group assault: I was…

SILENCED BY supposed allies
“I joined an organization in June 2022 in a leadership role focused on building tenant power — particularly centering the most marginalized and impacted communities.

C-Suite Bullying Employees
I was employed at a technical school under the Tennessee Board of Regents. The workplace bullying began with subtle jabs and snide remarks from my supervisor—the school president. Things worsened after a new vice president was brought in. What followed was relentless, targeted abuse. The VP and president engaged in public mockery during meetings, withheld…

I was a digital archivist at a corporate archive living with PTSD. I requested time to seek treatment after observing and having to intervene in several instances of workplace…

A Nurse Takes His Life after Ongoing Torment
“I worked at a hospital for over 25 years as an RT. My son, an RN, was hired there in 2011. He was well-liked by all of his patients and several co-workers. The VP of nursing loved Jason and wanted to transition him to the ICU. Before this could happen, he had to work in…

Abuse at work after Domestic Violence
“I was married to a coworker. We were both employed at a prison as corrections officers. After we divorced, he broke in and held me hostage at gunpoint for 12 hours. He beat, raped, and sodomized me, then tried to kill me by choking me. He put the gun in my mouth and pulled the…

Abuse from the school principal
“In July of 2012, I was hired as a 4th grade teacher for the 2012-2013 school year in a Massachusetts school district. It was my first public school teaching job. The school was located in a low-income neighborhood and was a “Level 3” school due to poor performance on MCAS. None of this worried me…

An untouchable Politically-connected Co-worker
“I work for a city in the capacity of a senior clerk and typist. I began my time with them completely and utterly oblivious that these types of workplaces existed. I began my time working for an amazing asst. superintendent who is no longer with the district. I began as an office clerk. In our…
