Default Work Place Bullying

Hi Everyone, Hope This Finds You All Well

Ive Just Had A Terrible Experience Staring A New Job And I Left After 4 Days.

The Boss Was Mentally And Verbually Abusive And I Couldnt Cope.

He Was Violent Towards One Of The Workers Out In The Factory AND It Scared Me ****less.

I Was Sitting At My Desh Shaking And Wanting To Throw Up And I Thought Just Get Out Of There,
So I Did

Has Anyone Else Suffered From Something Similar,
It Has Left Me Really Shaken Up And Angy That People Can Be Like That

I haven't had an experience like that, but I can say without a doubt that I would report it to someone immediately.. either someone higher up the corporate ladder (if applicable), an owner, another manager, or the better business bureau.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience. Good luck in the future.

Thank You For Your Kind Words

He Is The Owner Of The Business And I Can Report Him But He Is Very Vindictive And Im Worried He Might Come After Me. He Has Already Punched Up One Of The Workers At The Factory Next Door And Arranged To Have His Car Torched So That Scares Me.

I would discreetly contact the police. This is a very troubled man that in NO WAY should be in charge of ANYONE!

I'd wait a couple weeks and then report him. If you stayed for a short time, you didn't give yourself long to be burned into his memory. If he gets in trouble, he'll think of the people who most recently pissed him off first. In a couple weeks, that won't be you. Good luck, and stay safe.

Thank you all so much for your kind words, I really appreicate it!

Im in australia so I could be living in a thunderdome-lol

Im feeling a lot better now and have decided to put it down to another life experience you just have to put behind you.

If anything happens, I will not hesitate to report him to the authorities.

Take Care and once again thank you!
