Hmmm. A little promotion for a subject that doesn't have enough exposure.
Perhaps a few of you here can relate. If so - spread the word.

Warning: this is a little depressing. :( Sorry.

Came across this Facebook page after doing a bit of research on the topic of
"workplace mobbing":
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bellingham-WA/Healthy-Workplace-Bill/338636856649

Seems over 37% of the American Workforce are subjected to "workplace
bullying or mobbing" which includes:

[list]
Mental Harassment
Yelling
Put downs
Demotions for no reason
Write-ups for no reason
No credit for great work done
No promotions when there should be
Etc etc
[/list]

So as common as this is, I am AMAZED at how little people have joined the
effort or spoken out about this.

I'm not normally a "lobbying" type of person, but sheesh. Seems this needs
to be spread around a little.

Apparently the US is the last of the democracies that have any sort of
federal bill protecting the mental health and integrity of workers in the
workforce.

Anyway.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming.
