Workplace bullying
I spend 22 years at my job. I had a bully for a boss. I was able to just tune it out fairly ok for 20 years but 3 years ago I was assaulted and have CPTSD . I started to get triggered daily by this bully boss because when I was a child I was horribly abused and this boss reminded me of my childhood abuser. I hit a wall and couldn't take it anymore after I tried to get help from superiors and fight back but no one cared. So I had to transfer to another dept. to save my sanity. But I couldn't deal with the new position because my CPTSD was severe and I had a complete breakdown. I left that job last year and I'm trying to heal from a lifetime of abuse. I do in some way blame myself for taking it. But I also blame superiors for not helping because I am not that bosses only victim ,there are others but they deal with it because they need a paycheck. I am relieved to be away from that debilitating situation. I am still not able to work because of my CPTSD but I felt my rights were violated as I told the superiors about my condition. Does anyone else think that this is a disability violation? ( I am officially disabled). ABB
I am so sorry this happened. You did not deserve to be bullied. You mentioned there are others who are also being bullied. Have you made friends with the others? Sometimes it helps to talk to others who are also being hurt. I'm sorry but I'm not enformed enough to help with your question regarding disability. I wish you luck.
Thank you for your kind words. They are appreciated and yes I am friends with the other victims. I did complain to HR about her. But it was after I broke down and left on medical leave. I know she still works there and no one did a thing about her. It's good I'm out of there but I feel angry I sacraficed and she's sitting there collecting a paycheck. It makes me sick. I hope karma will come to her. Alot of formal complaints were made about her. I tried to retain legal help( no one will respond to my requests for help) to see if they violated the ADA. By not addressing the situation. My condition is severe. I kept a journal documenting everything with dates. I feel defeated between that bullying situation, my assault and my childhood abuse. I appreciate your caring response it helps me. Thx ABB

I am glad you are out of there. That must have been horrible to go through. I am so sorry.
Yes, sorry you went through that. Has others decided to report the boss? Maybe try calling better business bureau.
