Share Your #StillBullied Story
It’s time for workplace bullying to come out of the shadows.
Those of us who have been bullied at work are tired. Tired of being scared and worried all the time. We’re tired of the bullies getting away with their ridiculous behavior.
Now is the time to share. Share our stories to help one another heal and have hope.
Just recently, I shared a piece I wrote called #StillBullied: The Other #MeToo Movement with Liz Ryan who is behind the brilliant and life-saving Human Workplace website. Liz has written extensively on just about every workplace topic, including bullying by bosses and co-workers. Inspired by her good work, I shared the link to her Twitter account and told her she gave me the courage to write the piece. She wrote an encouraging message back, and from there, other people who have experienced workplace bullying found the story. In the matter of a few hours, the story got over 100 views here on Medium.
What this shows is that people need an outlet for their pain. People need to know that there are so many of us out here who absolutely understand the cruelty of bullying. Even if we can’t stand up at work, we can stand together to provide solace and support to one another. We give each other a way to hang on for another day.
If you’ve experienced workplace bullying, share your #StillBullied story below in the comments. I’m here for you. Peace.
