Bullying at work should be illegal. Parents of kids on school have filed lawsuits for bullying. The workplace should be the same. Bullying should not be allowed period!

Being valuable is what has caused me to be a target many times over

I highly dis agree with you at 7:52. Companies pick favorites and ride with it. I’m an outstanding employee but because the boss hired his son as a manager and hired his girlfriend the work place is toxic.

Bullying should be illegal, especially if you are doing your work to a specified standard, keeping to yourself and delivering on time.

Workers that are treated bad deserve all the money they win, because workers suffer everyday of their life like a prison when they are treated bad. They are millionaires and we keep them rich.

Smart employees can be harrassed because they bring to light potential problems in the company. Not necessarily a non - valuable employee.

I'm a doctor but I was made to work as a receptionist.. I totally lost confidence in me. It was really toxic. Today I took this step to resign for my mental health.. though I don't have another job in hand, I had to take this step. I hope I'll get a good job next 😇

Id much rather work from home than be surrounded by toxic managers or co workers its mentally damaging for your health literally drains all your energy these type of people are not worth my time or energy life is too short to be going through drama you can be at the top of your game and still be harassed or bullied because some people are just so toxic in nature

Helpful video. Thank you. I recently resigned from a decent job with benefits due to bullying and protected class harassment.
I reported the first incident to HR. They did nothing about it.

This is my life right now, I’m exhausted..

••Targeted Individual (Ti) ~ A person who becomes a target for various forms of harassment.
••Harassment ~ Any repeated or continuing uninvited contact that serves no useful purpose beyond creating alarm, annoyance, or emotional distress.
••Stalking ~ Criminal activity consisting of the repeated following and/or harassing of another person. It is a distinctive form of activity composed of a series of actions that taken individually are not illegal. But, when these actions are coupled with an intent to instill stress, fear, or injury then they may constitute a pattern of behavior that is absolutely criminal.
••Gangstalking ~ Stalking that is organized and carried out by two or more people. An extreme form of harassment, gangstalking consists of psychological torment which can negatively affect or even destroy every aspect of a targeted individual's life.
••Gaslighting ~ A form of deception where information is altered or selectively omitted to favor the manipulator, with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception and sanity. Actions may range from denial that previous deception ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abusers with the intention of disorienting the victims.
This psychology term is derived from Patrick Hamilton's 1938 play Gaslight, about a woman whose husband slowly manipulates her into believing that she is going insane.
••Micro expression ~ The sudden flash on a person's face that reveals their true emotion, instead of the one they're using to cover with.
••Vilifying the victim ~ A psychological tactic that puts a victim on the defensive while simultaneously masking the intent of the manipulator. When malicious actions are directed towards a targeted individual (Ti), the manipulator falsely accuses the victim as being the abuser in response when they stand up for or defend themselves.
••Reciprocal liking retraction ~ A psychological bullying tactic used to emotionally torment a targeted individual.
How this works is a person or group will initially act friendly towards a person, creating a bond. Then, when an undetermined amount of time has passed, the abusers will ignore, mock, and ridicule their target causing anything from annoyance or frustration to emotional trauma or suicide.
••Duping delight ~ The expression on a person's face showing the enjoyment felt from mocking or deceiving another person.
••Learned helplessness ~ A mental state of powerlessness that overwhelms a person who endures reoccurring stressful situations that are not responded to correctly, making you believe that you are unable to control or change things.

I wish I knew this 10+ years ago. I worked at the daycare and the director hated my guts and made my work experience a living hell. I was a single mother and so I stayed but if I knew that I could've sued for harassment I would have.

[thepoetrymarket]

Wow, this upload is right on time. Exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you.

[whotelakecity]

Your content and information is golden and break down legalese in super friendly layman terms which really helps people who are being harassed as they probably suffer from various symptoms of harassment including brain fog. Personally, I really like old school, board style info presentation with different colours and font sizes text broken down into headings and bullet points. Thanks!

[lanceslifepursuittv]

Bullying is illegal in many different ways

[clarewalker]

Dear Branigan, thank you for your videos! You have become my virtual equivalent to a an esquire big brother to generously council the tedious details and top down view of navigating civic legal matters.

Much respect and gratitude 🙏🏻

[fuzzyfriendsrescuevoluntee]

I don't want to sue anyone, I want the targeted harassment to stop. It's awful. I can't sleep, can't eat, I am a wreck. I'm suicidal. I'm tired of living with this daily horrible targeting.

[jasonkresock]

This has been your most helpful video for me yet at this present moment! Thank you for all you do!

I’ve been in situations where my disability caused me to be harassed and where my employer happily helped implement an ADA accommodation that lets me work to my full potential. Some employers are rotten and allow toxic and illegal behavior to flourish.

[rocketeer]

Companies most likely will not protect their most valuable employee if they're racist. IF your employer let's say is hispanic and hispanic employees start harrassing you and you are not hispanic, most likely your employer will not come to your rescue.
