I'm not gonna sugar coat it: this woman was a bully who legit got both *rewarded* and *taught* how to rebrand her bullying into a more palatable and corporate bully.

She legit is thrilled in the retelling of these events.

[ArsenicJulep]

Bullies should never manage people. Not unless you want your whole team to quit.

[sophiearcher]

I have been traumatised by being bullied at work. Bullies are not leaders, they are not special, they are not deserving of positive attention and being pulled up. They are what is wrong with the world.

[Imehiel]

She doesn't sound remorseful about her years of bullying and manipulating, she sounds proud of it.

[ferindies]

A narcisist that believes she is special and justifies her actions playing the victim, there are people that are bullied with absent fathers too

[Licel]

Who organized this? Who gave voice to this bully? She sounds so proud of it, and defends people like herself.

[liliaw]

Bullies are (BLPD). So there is nothing we can do but treating them the way they treat us, this way they know behave yourself.

[ArcaneThingOfBeauty]

The people who needed leadership skills and to be uplifted were the kids terrorized by these bullies. THEY’RE the ones who are often left working out their trauma well into adulthood, especially at work. 😩

[sheilaomodio]

All the bullies I have known from 40 and 50 years ago are still pieces of s*** today. So they have never learned to be a nice person. And I'm sure they have had opportunities in all that time to have learned from someone or from life. You see the the bully's from 50 years ago don't understand how they have shaped my life in a negative way all these years later. Nor do they care. Nor could anybody make them understand the ramifications of their actions. Because their parents didn't care either.

[jenniferj]

This is what privilege and superiority sound like. Shouting, acting, dramatizing. I have no doubt she terrorized rather than leads. I feel sorry for anyone ever under her thumb.

[NJM]

Bullies need therapy, not spotlight. What even ...

[brains]

"I'm a bully! I have no empathy and intentionally manipulate people! PUT ME IN CHARGE OF ALL THE THINGS SO I CAN HAVE MORE NARCISSISTIC SUPPLY!!!!" Um...no, sis.

[lotusmud]

It’s something about the way that this women speaks that gives me the creeps.. She sounds so ‘made up’, like she’s acting out a role. My only thought is -does she actually have empathy or is she just faking it? Cause my gut tells me she’s way too detached to care about anybody else but herself. Doesn’t seem ashamed or regretful at all for bullying and threatening ppl.. She seems more proud of being a “misguided leader”. She just wants to help ppl to look good. That’s it.

[somahasan]

So your point is to give bullies more power !!! What in the world is that.. Linda Parker was smart enough to contain your aggressive behaviours at that time with specific circumstances but that doesn’t mean you have changed. I don’t see any regrets to what you have done, no apology, no remorse even your tune of voice tells about you

[localjess]

Probably still a bully, but a covert one.

[jeffreym]

I don't know quite how to react to this. I am grateful to Dr. Parker. I'm glad that she was able to use this intervention in a positive way for the school, community, and Ms. Geez. That being sad, I have not heard her apologize to the numerous students, teachers, and parents PERSONALLY. Apologize for the damage SHE did. Not bullies in general. It's harder, I recognize, but it seems an important act. I hope she continues to help others. I'd much rather see people making a positive difference in the world than getting caught up in the justice system.

[Giovannax]

i got all around bad vibes from this woman and her anecdotal evidence isn’t a strong enough argument for me to be even slightly convinced…she still has very arrogant energy

[UnvaccinatedCov.]

She gets recognition for being a pity human. While victims like us have to live years with feelings and thoughts that sometimes are never recognized.

[timbmd]

Promote a bully to be an authoritative figure as a way to improve her bully attitude? NO!

[spirituallyincorrect]

The problem is organizations tend to promote bullies at the workspace because these bullies speak confidently and know how to used words to impress senior management..they target girls and weak man in the workspace...but once you start to draft their activities via email sms call recording they beg for mercy and apologize...
