When Work is Hell: How to Cope with a Bully at Work

By Laura Bloom

When we hear the term "a bully" the schoolyard comes to mind.But what about the adult victims of a bully? For every bully skulking around the playground during recess, there are two adults roaming the corporate park, ruining someone else's lunchtime.When Work is Hell-How to Cope with a Bully at Work discusses this phenomenon from a new perspective: organizationally. So that we are not left dissecting the target and how they managed to wander into this occupational sand trap but how organizations are built to silently (or not so silently) condone this behavior. And more importantly how you can address the workplace organizational structure to help you to understand, insulate and defend yourself from bullying behaviors.Laura Bloom, MSW is the Founder of Words2results.com, a writer's coaching service. She has developed and implemented three outpatient mental health clinics in her over 30 years of experience as a mental health clinician.Laura soon began to see some themes in her clinical work with office workers: individuals who were routinely verbally beaten down at work for no discernible reason. They did not see any recourse for this distress so Laura began to work on a manual for the systemic understanding of at work bullying and ways that individuals could both guard themselves and arm themselves with strategies for dealing with the bully at work; soon after When Work is Hell-How to Cope with a Bully at Work was born.
