Workplace bullying is a hugely important issue that affects the lives of millions of people. My uncle suffered from it a lot at one of his previous jobs. Only recently have people began to take this issue seriously (see the Wikipedia entry). In a recent survey of those who had experienced workplace bullying, among those who managed to escape the bullying, most of them had done so through switching jobs or transferring jobs within the company. A small proportion, about 10%, managed to get their bullies fired or otherwise punished. Bullies make others’ lives miserable but mainly enjoy impunity. As a society, we need to stop tolerating this.
Rabbi Al, I’m so sorry for what you’ve gone through. May Hashem give you complete healing, and end all bullying of people of all age groups.
