A Tale of Two Entirely Different Workplace Bullies
Dealing with workplace bullies leaves me feeling completely disempowered at times. That’s not surprising for a Giveaway Girl. #workprobs: I know from the stories I hear that some of you are in the same boat.
Here are some of the questions that course through my brain when I think about this subject. How do we develop a rapport with a department head who asks for solutions only to publicly humiliate and interrupt the people who offer them? Do we confront bullies and how? What action should we take when our employers hire people who perpetuate the same behavior? If we witness our coworkers feel the wrath of a bully, should we do something? When we feel there’s nowhere to turn is that true?
There are no magic answers to these questions, but Kathy Churay gives some powerful insights into the complexities of handling bullies from an employee’s perspective.
