How far would you go?

Since when is it ok, to bully anyone?  Whether that is at home, school, in a social setting or at work.

When it's your child that is being targeted a different kind of emotion arises. The first words that come to mind are "Mama Bear"  we all know how ferocious a mother bear gets when her cub is being threatened. 

Now you see, what emotions are running through my body. My child may be an adult, nonetheless she is still my child. My duty is to protect her always. That is what I plan to do.  

I have worked most of my life in management, given companies my everything,  in return they reward me with tokens,awards  and labels.  I know what I bring to the table. I sacrifice my own needs for that of others. I will continue to do that for all my days.

  I have honoured and respected every person who worked under me, treated them with respect and compassion.    Your job as a leader, is not to boss people around or pick on their flaws.  You are there to lead them, show them the path to abundance. Coach them and help them succeed. 

Looking back over your work career, you will have one "boss" that has stood out from the rest.  The one who saw your potential and pushed you in all the right directions.  What happened to these people?   

They have been  replaced by, mean cold hearted people, who don't have an ounce of compassion or empathy.

What happen to a non judgemental workplace, where all are accepted for who they are? 

 Owners, who only have one goal in mind...save money to make money. 

I understand business quite well.  I also know, a thriving business is only as good as the employees they employ. You have a poor performing person, did they receive the proper training? Were they thrown into a job they didn't understand?  When has it become acceptable to pass blame onto someone else as a result of your own wrong doings? Does anyone in "leadership roles" have any accountability anymore? 

 Think back to when you were a child, what was something ingrained in your head by your parents, teachers, aunts, uncles even grandparents.  "BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER"

Kindness wins every time.  As I approach this situation, I will do it with the utmost respect.  Also that of authority and strength. I am not looking to cause drama or have anyone fired. More so, bring to light areas that need much improvement.

I will create a second post, to follow up with the actions I took. So stay tuned. This is going all the way to the top of the food chain, and I mean top.  I will not stop, until this work place harassment has stopped, and we are free of discrimination.  Yes this pinched a nerve in me. We all know what a pinched nerve feels like, not comfortable at all.

It's time to stand up, know your rights. 

It's time to be appreciated and accepted.  Not criticised and belittled. We have strength in numbers, never forget that.    

a hand to hold,
