Unfortunate But True.

It is very unfortunate how employers are taking advantage of today’s economy to harass and abuse employees. There are many forms of silent abuse in the workplace that people are suffering, e.g. employees that now are doing the job of 2 or even 3 people for the same pay, usually these employees tend to stay late or start early (not on the clock/no overtime) at work to finish their work load, many employers are using the term “thank God that we have jobs” when employees bring formal complaints, here is another example of how a boss will answer to a complaint “there is a line of people out there willing to do your job I can show you the 100’s applications we have”.  Some other employers will put you on “salary” not paying you for over time and / or extra work, but yet if you were to miss a half day a full day or there is a holiday you will not get paid, lots of employers choose this option because they know is for their own benefit, employees finish their work schedule at the office but they will bring work home to not get yell.

Here are listed some silent work abuse.
·         No recognition of an outstanding job.
·         Cursing and ignoring.
·         Dirty looks.
·         Letting other employees interfere with job tasks.
·         Allowing any type of harassment from coworkers.
·         Derogatory comments.
·         Making you do tasks or putting workloads they know you can’t handle to later bring you down.
·         Making you think that you don’t have any more options “you are stock here”.
·         Attributing your ideas to themselves or others.
·         Not listening to realistic ideas or suggestions for a better job performance.
·         Talk down to you in front of others or meetings.
·         No matter how good or how hard you work, your work is never good enough.
·         Basic needs are not met or you are blamed for expressing these needs.

  

Workplace abuse by employers and managers should have no place in today's life. This is a fairly unrecognized issue yet is a serious problem affecting people.

STOP WORKPLACE ABUSE

Workplace bullying, like childhood bullying, is the tendency of individuals or groups to use persistent aggressive or unreasonable behavior against a co-worker or subordinate. Workplace bullying can include such tactics as verbal, nonverbal, psychological, physical abuse and humiliation. This type of aggression is particularly difficult because unlike the typical forms of school bullying, workplace bullies often operate within the established rules and policies of their organization and their society. Bullying in the workplace is in the majority of cases reported as having been perpetrated by management and takes a wide variety of forms. Bullying can be covert or overt.

While there is no single formal definition of workplace bullying, several researchers have endeavored to define it. Some categorize all harmful boss-behavior and actions of malintent directed at employees as bullying. Bullying behaviors may be couched in humiliation and hazing rites and iterative programs or protocols framed as being in the best interests of employee development and coaching. Others separate behaviors into different patterns, labeling a subset of those behaviors as bullying, explaining that there are different ways to deal effectively with specific patterns of behavior. Some workplace bullying is defined as involving an employee's immediate supervisor, manager or boss in conjunction with other employees as complicit, while other workplace bullying is defined as involving only an employee’s immediate supervisor, manager or boss.

Race also may play a role in the experience of workplace bullying. According to the Workplace Bullying Institute (2007), the comparison of combined bullying (current + ever bullied) prevalence percentages reveals the pattern from most to least:
  1. Hispanics (52.1%)
  2. Blacks(46%)
  3. Whites (33.5%)
  4. Asian (30.6%)
The reported rates of witnessing bullying were:
  1. Blacks (21.1%)
  2. Hispanics (14%)
  3. Whites (10.8%)
  4. Asian (8.5%)
The percentages of those claiming to have neither experienced nor witnessed mistreatment were among
  1. Asian (57.3%)
  2. Whites (49.7%)
  3. Hispanics (32.2%)
  4. Blacks(23.4%)
