Mostly work issues. I’ve been off work due being bullied. It’s made me feel horrible.

Bullying is terrible where ever it is.You don't deserved to be bullied at work.You have the right to work in a peaceful environment.Have you thought of reporting this bully? It is unacceptable.

Hello there Colangel,

I can relate to your message. And I’m sorry you feel that way.

Workplace bullying is especially difficult. I hope you are ok. I know you are struggling, but please hang in there. I know that is something that everyone says quite often, and it can get incredibly repetitive and obnoxious. But PLEASE hang in there.

Please look after yourself. Try and do something nice for yourself. Even if it is running a bubble bath or reading self help articles online.

I just want you to know that you being bullied is a complete reflection on those cruel people. Their bad behaviour towards you is a reflection on them and shows who they truly are.

If the thought of really looking at self help articles is really daunting and overwhelming at the moment then please try and ask yourself these questions ; ‘Am I too cold?’ Or ‘Do I need something to eat or drink?’

I know you are in a bad spot at the moment but please look after yourself.

love, PsychedelicFur.

Thanks guys for all your support. Really appreciate it. I have been working for a bank for 15 years and give my life to them. I was working from home during COVID because I suffer from bad asthma. My employer told me I had to go into work as asthma wasn’t high risk. I’ve under gone soo many hospital appointment to prove that I suffer asthma pretty badly and was terrified about catching the disease. All because I wasn’t making my target from home. I tried everything whilst working from home to make my target . But my boss make up all these stories saying I wasn’t trying to do my job . I have 110% . I’ve been so sick due to their treatment and have been crying since May last year. It’s all gotten to much as no one believed me!

Hi Colangel I am sorry about the bullying from your boss.I believe you have you that you are trying so hard.Bad asthma can be dilbating and know someone who has it real bad and it isn't easy.I don't know if you can find the courage to report your boss for the bullying.Thst is a huge step to take.You should be treated with respect at work.
Take care,
Mark.

Thanks Mark appreciate your thoughts . I am one person fighting a major organization. Am exhausted from it all. I’ve reported it but his denying it all. Even tho I wrote a statement that outlined my treatment during COVID. With dates and times of events . They still had the audacity to tell me that there was no wrong doing! How is that fair . Where is the humanity!

Hi Colangel I am sorry that it was taken further and they said their was no wrong doing.That isn't right and not fair on you.It can be such a tricky thing to prove unless you got a recording of the bullying.I have been bullied all my life and the mental torture I have been through because if it doesn't seem fair.I wish we lived in a nicer world instead of the world full of nastynes. That was brave of you to report the bully maby it will help someone else.
Take care,
Mark.

Thanks Mark. My doctor even provided certificates saying that I need to work from home due to having severe asthma. Which wasn’t accepted by the bank! They even noted my role was not a home role. Whilst they made no adjustments to my role. I have been so deflated due to their treatment it’s taken a toll . How can a big organization treat their employees like this ! I am exhausted from trying to justifying myself . Where was the care factor ! All because I wasn’t making their millions from home!

This world can be so cruel. Where is the care factor! Do people not have any humanity anymore. They only care about there own personal gain by hurting others . trying hard to stay strong. Today I am going to go to the cemetery to visit my mum.

Hi Colangel I am so sorry that the bank has no care factor for you.I have noticed that some businesses have been so supportive of their staff during this tough times while others have no compassion for their workers .This virus has shown people's true colours and unfortunately not all of them are good but still their has been a lot of amazing people out there.
Take care,
Mark.

Hi , the last few days has been horrible. I haven’t been feeling good. I’ve tried to stay strong but it’s all getting to much. I exhausted from fighting.
I work for a company that has no compassion for their people. After all the loyalty and hard work. This is how I get treated during COVID .
