How to control workplace cruelty

While managers are familiar with the idea of bullying, the concept of “mobbing,” a term coined by Duffy and her co-author Len Sperry, is less understood. “Workplace mobbing,” Duffy says, is “nonsexual harassment of a coworker by a group.” The purpose is to remove the individual from a particular unit or from the larger organization, which may occur through termination, medical leave, or quitting. Whether or not the group is successful in removing the individual, “this typically protracted traumatizing experience” often results in humiliation and degradation “with significant financial, career, health, and psychosocial losses,” Duffy says.

The vast majority of RPH’s reported increased stress levels… the genesis of this increase staff stress levels… but.. at some point.. when do a number of RPH’s start of physically/mentally suffering from such increased stress levels… could some/many of these RPH’s be on the verge of PTSD?  Does anyone in management really cares?

Rx dept staff members can’t be “rebuilt” or “reconditioned”… like a lot of the mechanical pieces in the Rx dept..

Does the fact that a person is drawing a paycheck .. make corporate bullying .. “acceptable”? Receiving abuse in the jobplace after voting in an election is not acceptable. It’s crucial to understand your rights and options in such situations. Talking to a lawyer can help you navigate through potential legal actions and protect yourself from further mistreatment.

IMO… it would seem like a number of people didn’t learn to leave their grade school – junior high- high school tactic behind as they entered adulthood.
