Who publicly tries to make an example of others using fear and humiliation as management tools have you ever had that kind of bully or the screaming Mimi. Is it -- this is bull. The idea of -- it or -- I think it's -- generally not he's completely legit why do you say that is down. And we knew we set the story back -- -- female last night I told you I I have probably been bullied network. But if you don't even know can you have been buoyant because. You're probably fall under the definition of the -- some of the things that your reading. But I am I never really did anything about it and Intel one hand more. A file a complaint with any lineup but the more you kind of read that story in the in the reasons that you might be with a bully. The more I realized he probably. Would be considered a bully OK would be considered. But this is you sound like hearing talked into victim -- it's like in the ads on TV telling you -- go into food stamps. You might not actually. Some have would consider yourself to be in a problem situation. If somebody and come along since she's your victims are -- like the Mary -- thing I don't know that I was being discriminated against until the equal opportunity office told me and then they had no idea what you -- but and I'm not I'm not complaining about I'm not crying about an -- running around like I was a victim -- I've always just stop the guy who was doing this was just a complete jerk Yahoo! and other words for pursued by DDD on the influence. Decisions you -- yeah see that's a case and that's where he may I would consider him a bully now because. Have his violent attitude and his use of his fists. Some may -- so the punching walls -- -- -- throw stuff around so -- all the way and it was intimidate every now and again if you were walking down the hall and he was walking down he'd like hip checked against the -- push huge but sort of like trying to -- that high school you know running around way but it got to the point it was like guy come down you know that's inappropriate. -- -- did so did change so it might buy patterns in my behaviors because they stopped coming in here early in the morning. Our stop stud coming into that particular show and saying hello and anyone you know because I did it and if I was walking down the hall and I'd see him I'd make pretend they had to go somewhere else and immediately turn around a walk away while on diet or not because I was afraid of him. Just because -- -- work you know I don't wanna deal the sound science and you never know that one time we hit seeing actually hurts then you know you throw a suburb to a situation -- puncher and faced. And then you've you've you know turned into about a big DLC just avoid him. CIA I guess he would change my pattern in my -- well that's some that's doomed no worthy I think did you ever talk to us somebody management about it never now. Nokia is that he was the type -- -- got back to him then it would just make it work so it was just easier to avoid. In -- wanna deal with it. And no not that anyone here would have -- not have done something about it I just and wanted a stiff -- -- have the time to easier to ignore L I hope it goes away yeah -- want a deal all right. Workplace bowling does it happen is there realty you have you experienced anything like it have you ever been bullied. Have you been intimidated have you been treated in such away or just witnessed behavior from somebody worked this is that I wanna go -- -- Because this is and you know it's going could be a big new trend the workplace. Boeing and then maybe needed even if you've never considered it it's still worthy of consideration. Because there should be an easy way Americans talked this way about -- About things that happened at school. And that kids should not have to put up with right we consider just find kids at school. Have to deal as a matter of fact we consider a rite of passage. That at school. Children should have to do handle situations and handle themselves but ironically. We don't expect the same thing of adults we expect him adults. That's they will all. Being able to be protected. That they can go to old boss that they call the police -- they call security. That they don't have to deal with things on their own why that double standard. And may be the same kind of protection needs to be across the board that people need to know you don't touch other pick new -- are grown man. The air work. -- hip checking somebody like -- is talking about. Well it's it's -- it. And it's -- nobody puts up with that kind of behavior really 617266. Exceeds six it. Course this all nonsense and just another attempt. By -- the touchy Feely crowd to turn us into a useless. Culture. Denny is looking to be victimized at every turn and is being victim because if -- look. If he'll look at life through the lens of a victim true or false if you'll look at it that way. Is kind of snowballs doesn't it. If you see yourself through that -- then you start seeing every thing. As an attack on new. Everything try to take advantage of you everything Cree creating a vulnerability. So thereof that you know it's I wish I mentioned the food stamps that there are incentives. For. State governments from the feds. Financial incentives. To build up. The list of the people on food stamps. And you say wow how crazy is that he's once they never program to help people and let them discover when they're really need. And they start pounding on doors as -- struggling look at her openly say they -- -- -- program we give you some food stamps. And then somehow that little program to help what few people -- who were really in dire need becomes something where the federal government is pushing. To make more people beyond it all the time and then you develop a culture of victims people who want to help -- looking for help. Are wired in such a way to see themselves as needing help and wondering why you're not helping them every turn an amateur would describe never experienced it. And while what -- -- describe sounds real. It doesn't sound overwhelming doesn't. His workplace you know coercion on talking about your you know the person talked -- crazy and you see you saw some of the kind of antics he would hold any of that I saw -- all -- -- us. -- -- say that was over the top or definitely a result would throw stuff around -- he -- he would ensure break stuff and there was just an awful setting Symbian yeah but you buy dot Euro also capable of being intimidated and you if you had. Said to him you cut it out cut the crap I'm not enough but that don't ever again probably and then they'll put an AM yes but. As well she -- -- -- -- soccer and I'll probably would have been some type of raise some type of bravado from him to. You know be alpha dog alpha male -- the situation then it would have just escalated into a four point -- no I think -- -- -- return I think he would have joked it -- you would have been scared. That you were confronting because -- people like that are you know. They fold I try not to get mad -- you don't wanna -- new and meanwhile let's see that's where I'm in the little intimidated. 617266. Exceed 6 -- Peter good morning GO. Pave the -- it. What's gone on. I guess I hit I guess somewhat important story I it was just -- disagreement I was. A white coworker. In the I was just. My I would sit behind -- -- to paperwork. And then there -- the diminished upper management percent of the -- in general. Heavy piece of equipment that was dangerous that it needed. I think before it's these sold out every time it was going to be used in the and -- And you had to report incidents and all that. Well no I don't had to make sure that that says they need to get it completely thrown out but I think he's formalized it -- -- one particular guy who didn't want -- -- In. I I I I would say he he he kept using it -- a quick note also -- performance and I had. I'm glad that I'm a -- I commitment there hasn't -- -- put a lock on. I'm not on the piece of equipment disobey is a guy couldn't use his veto promote Altidore out those forms -- And then not so he was looking to comply with the -- -- he'd been working at the years without episode. And finally now I was cracking down because of there's been a little bit and 68. At this -- this story -- that they get to come to me if I didn't have a proper forms that are gonna get. -- but he wanna make you the bad guy because you made him fill out forms. What have failure so what happened. Some. I kept I -- I -- I got a key and a lot desperate to put it on a piece of equipment yeah. The aluminum a permit but also had a key and so do we just go around the -- give the keys from time from my -- I saw be muted Rick come miniature. Are -- -- a so I so I don't well I told the manager broke don't do manager who didn't -- in the Katie edited it. Take this take this responsibility away from -- I don't want it even more -- gonna dignity. It and that there -- The same manager VA near the responsibility. Who undermine your ability to do it. Right okay so what happened. I ended up I hit -- I told him I don't want their responsibility -- Gerard told minority -- probably won't go to -- kept on going and I wouldn't want that we had to go to human resource system it could just talk it out amongst. The news or use I I got I got put on all the -- government my troubles anyway in I don't put journalistic BL laid off. And I the end appeared to gain laid up like I kind of blame it on my open in my involved in our. Enjoy -- told to do so you're right you would have been better -- -- -- fluff stuff on your responsibility. And you know you've got bullied. In an organization that supported the bully instead of supporting -- that's really work yet centrist and John your -- on our -- hi John. Very good morning thank you can call Friday morning hopefully it's a little bit cooler -- -- will be cool not today but over the weekend. I make this real quick and in this is what I think is the essential problem what says. Is we can we can talk about personal bullying and you know people would've had people waiting when we try to teach -- kids to bite the bullet that's basically what you guys. United States -- there we -- the bullet you know. But the bottom line was bullying and this is the support my estimate is this is the way they know this sounds low black elk population -- This is a way for the government committed to controls speech. It go to their score on and it can punish people for doing what they know why. And we should emphasize there's more this is government control and no sound of black helicopter but. -- -- -- explain it because I have I'm not getting the connection where the where is. The government coming down and in influencing behavior. For us is really being pushed in the school system which means actually just get to control speech state deficit okay. -- -- -- -- -- Pictures for you you cannot -- this -- it's always tricky little toll to 75 pounds overweight. Our -- you'll get scared get -- other be punished. So now the government is that teachers get to control or student speech -- punishment. -- -- Know this himself. And I think that this is very destructive warn you when you they have the control over someone else's speech I don't care I thought it was written in the -- right. I mean that's fiction stolen. You have to -- but it suddenly overview what they want what what are always pushing bully. -- they wanna control -- speech. Well I admit that could be LO will throw out there -- you'll have to say about it I think they sincerely also want there'd be less bowling because Boeing is a big problem at school. And really are responsible school would not have that kind of stuff going on. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Morning glory years -- I'm doing well thank you the call. Well I'm human resource since and I am here to tell you that bullying is alive and well in the workplace. If it all the time. And the net effect try to try to in my long -- thirty year career I have been severely bullied. And that as I have to tell you the most uncomfortable thing that you have to go to community do you. You talk to someone about it in the workplace -- -- the human resource center where the person that is bothering you you leaks you really don't have much the choice. Well what's wrong with those two options. Well if he did nothing wrong with going anti human resources. At all I really believe that a lot of them police need the extra help. And they should keep can restructure the pulpit because -- and it's really not really didn't think they care it really takes the title and an important help. Yup so let's get down to dealing wind though so. First -- did tell us a situation can you give us a good example. Absolutely. A few years ago I get -- completely restructure Vatican employment manager. And I had a manager who was hell on -- That you would going to ask him anything and he without getting -- -- -- safe and we yell and scream and we integrated. And the way I can't prepare them what I can get help them to come down. And compelled him to chill out and when he was ready to speak to -- that's logical time to come to me. And it usually work. But a lot of people that worked for him that didn't work out. Okay but we were dealing with you or we do lose one of the other people I wanna fall through the situation -- so so are we dealing with committee and everyone else that -- let's do it from your point of view so you had this good way of handling him was that as far as it went. Get this carpet went so it doesn't sound that bad. Well ever because every day I had to look at this -- and I wanted to stay in the job loss of the job loved the company. But I had to deal with him every single day and if you have other people dealing with this on a daily basis it really does that take the color productivity. You were all right I'll let you know so you weren't really human resource is -- I -- I -- confronted him. IPR. And human resources. All. I mean look at it and wow. And do you ever say luck -- you can't get away with this crap inappropriate you can't do it and -- human resource you know that better than anyone. Exactly. We -- that compensation and a lot. And he would keeping him in the -- couldn't stop. That's why they invented video Catholics. That's actually a free what happened to this -- -- And promoted. So that he didn't have to deal with people. I want to know why they picked him -- -- -- Being managed and I can understand how I mean sounds like a horrible I think NAFTA deal with every day. But you're in a position -- maybe -- maybe I'm saying act as your woman and he is a guy and up somehow gave you more control. But you are in a position where he could handle it and you also knew the industry but the attitude plays a big part and that's what dawns on me so if you're -- -- even make it joke you know how to use humor. Or you just know hot be a wise guy back and cut through all the crap. Things get complicated delta and relationships when you're unwilling to stand up. And it just say something and when you -- quietly and let it all gets stored up pat good morning to yearn RKO. I'm lining. You have any other situation aren't experiencing. My. Work experience quote arm speed the racial situation. Aren't in it tight -- the company to attract that the. Neither do any intimidation is based on race or it's just people of different races involved ceramics a more complicated. -- -- which -- second one the second one right the company is that it doesn't wanna catch it because. The party that is the bully is the operation. Yeah it is document. -- are some further -- further Perry our universe -- more. Where that puts you in a more powerful situation. The start this strikes me as a golden opportunity. Because if there if there you know in this day and age it's such a litigious society. If they don't know what they're supposed to do he has that somebody's black. Or somebody's -- later somebody's orange that's got nothing to know the -- -- responsibilities. They have to they have to take care -- -- or they're liable. For all kinds of trouble. Well I don't locate my job I'm -- and took only minutes because. Rather then confront this situation I was given the opportunity to move it you know that's and I chose to still be easier than confronting. -- I don't attorney. While the I think you should talk to lawyer right away I'm sorry I -- may even hear myself say that but for you don't have to be miserable. Doing a 45 minute commute because some guys act like -- -- if they're afraid to confront don't you. And they can't put everybody -- know that I communicate within the company who are weird that's Burke general. We have the situation as well -- have been little in the situation would this -- and -- well but nobody did attached it. They say that to you and emails. -- they say that's you and emails. No no no we can lead to talk to each other about it you know and it did and it's frustrating by. He didn't like. And cheap crude it I'd try that like cookie midday and Jolene that. How do you. It into my attention that I would be bullied out -- that -- -- -- after I was done and I didn't really mean it didn't attack the mentally and saint -- thing. All right pat it's really it's a fascinating story thank you so much for sharing at 6172666860. It is WRKO. She is your home for -- original provocative talk. Boston's talks vision KM sixty feet.
