Top 10 Signs Your Boss is Bullying You
Workplace Bullying Is More Common Than Assumed
An employer may admit that it has one rogue supervisor, but most companies will not admit that bullying in the workplace is a widespread problem. This is why Zogby's 2007 poll has not gotten the attention it deserves -- because it proves that U.S. workplaces are deeply infected with the disease of bullying supervisors, but businesses fear the treatment more than the disease.
Zogby's survey found that workplace bullies caused actual damage to the health of one third of Americans at work today. In other words, more than 54,000,000 employees have been severely bullied at work. To make the issue more personal, think of two friends: one of you has been abused so badly at work that he or she needed medical care.
Why does this continue?
It continues because it's legal.
The U.S. Supreme Court has specifically said that courts will not get into the business of enforcing a "civility code" in the nation's workplaces. With the law turning a blind eye toward civility and respect at work, bosses are free to push their employees to produce more and more by employing threats, humiliation, and fearmongering. It may be immoral, but none of it is illegal.
Some companies take a long term approach and reognize that rampant abuse of employees at their company will only increase the number of employee resignations, decrease the number of employee applications, and grow the use of sick time and workers' compensation claims.
If you are reading this, however, chances are that you are not working at one of the precious few companies who does take the long view. Instead, you at least suspect that you are being taken advantage of at work.
More likely, you know in your heart that you are suffering through workplace abuse but you have been denying it; some people fear that taking action against a bully will be even more difficult to endure than the everyday abuse that's been grinding them down.
Many Employers Ignore Bullying Problems
If you are one in either of these groups, take a look through this list of the Top 10 Telling Indicators That The Boss is Bullying You. After going over the list click on the survey at the end to report how many of the signs you've experienced in your own work life:
- Your boss consistently blames you for the problems at work, while boasting to others that his or her own skills are responsible for the good outcomes
- You've found that your boss scheduled key meetings knowing full well you had a conflict at that time
- Your boss sabotages your success by claiming to be "too busy" to sign off on your work or give you needed feedback, making your work incomplete or late
- You are kept out meetings your supervisor schedules, your work station is moved further away from your supervisor, or you are conspicuously left out of work lunches
- You learn that your supervisor or someone in his or her peer group is gossiping about your work, or even your life
- When upset or stressed your manager will bring up a mistake you made long ago (even years ago), as a way of shifting focus from the current problem to something that was your fault
- At night and on the weekends you feel completely exhausted and have no energy for pursuits you used to enjoy
- A co-worker is allowed by your boss to put you down, insult your work, and humiliate you with co-workers present, or, your boss does these things to you directly
- You feel like every day your manager only gives you criticisms, but your performance reviews are always positive and you are know at work as a good worker
- You long for each weekend, but you are full of anxiety and even become sick with dread the evening before the work week starts

Ranking Your Results
So what should you do if this quiz indicates that you have been the victim of a work place bully? First, although the quiz asks what you've experienced in your whole career, the need to take action depends upon how many of these indications you are currently experiencing.
- 1 to 3 of the indicators: Your boss needs counseling or Prozac
- 4 to 6 of the indicators: You need to prepare yourself for a confrontation. Learn your legal rights which are far more powerful than you probably realize
- 7 to 9 of the indicators: You are in the thick of a drawn out conflict with your boss. You must learn all of your legal rights now to fight back against this hostile work environment. Also consider seeing your doctor for time off work to decompress.
- All 10 of the indicators: You've already quit or been terminated, but you still have rights. Be sure not to let the EEOC's 180 day deadline pass for filing a complaint, and make sure to immediately file for both unemployment benefits and the new subsidized COBRA health benefits continuation program.

Your venomous comment just put the cherry on the top. Are you sadistic or something? Does it feel good? To get a full punch in the face of the poor wretched devil abused to the maximum? I wish you have my like one day for the next 10 years and see that you need that paycheque and your freedom will not pay for your your rent, and the best you can do, to find the best places under the benches in remote park areas although you speak four languages and earned three degrees. Soulless creatures like you should never had a blog. I curse the time I spent here.
Everyday I go to work wondering what I'll be reprimanded for. Sometimes i think my boss just makes things up to have a reason to punish me. She constantly yells at me for things that she won't yell at a coworker for. This coworker and our boss are friends and have known each other for years so I know its flat out favortism.
My. Place of employment was sold six weeks ago.unfortunatelty it became disorganized to due not enough staff along with wrong hires and a new boss with no experience.I was offered a supervisor position and had to wait 3 weeks what was involved with this position. Well I can say not a raise. When I approached the women from head office and asked about a wage increase she denied me. I responded another girl works there at the same wage with half the responsibility. She asked how I knew that. I knew that in January and saw it on a piece of paper in the office 3 weeks prior. She lied to my face, said against the law to know that along with no she doesn't. So I turned down the position. Since then my job has become hell. To the point I am taking sick leave. I worked for the old owners for a year and half. With no problems. I have never been late although I do have some health issues. In my 19 months of working there my shift has always started between 6am and 7am. Eight to nine hour days of constant busy. I have been harassed since the turn down if that position to the point of unbareable anxiety. My weekends are spent alone and sleeping. I avoid everyone. Sunday nights I feel ill usually wake at 1am and that's it. I'm up.
I am constantly threatened and humiliated in front of my peers. I am getting phone calls and texts while driving after my shift is over. I have to pull of the road and get myself together before arriving at home. I go to work, do my job and stay out of other people's business. I have been accused of things I have no knowledge of and am never told what or who complained about me. I am a private person but my supervisor " accidentally" mentioned something I had said about my personal life and people I don't even know we're making comments. How can I make it stop. I am affraid to go to work. No self esteem .
I work for a veterinarian and he is a bully. He blames me for every problem or mistakes that happened at work even mistakes I didn't make. He's rude with no manners. He mocks and talks down on me. He even touches me inappropriately, like he'll poke me, nudge me with a box of medicine, he once elbowed me in the back and it hurt a little and worst of all he would press his whole back side up against my back. I've tried telling him that it makes me uncomfortable when he does that, but he doesn't listen to me. He tells me that it's what he does and that I have to accept it. He also called me a loser because the fact that I still live with my parents. He said it like this, You're a loser we have to turn that form into a winner. And that upset me I tried telling him how that made me feel but he said to me words can only hurt if you let them hurt. And finally he has no respect for my personal space, like he tried forcing me to show him my bank accounts just so he can teach me how to invest my money also he insulted my friends by calling them losers because they don't have professional jobs and he believes my parents failed me which they did not. Every day when I come home from work I feel like my head is about to explode because of my boss. He believes my mind needs to be stretched but his stretching his giving me nothing but headaches.
Now I am trying to find another job and if I do get another job I'm gonna leave without giving any notice because he doesn't deserve to have me or anybody else as an employee.
my daughter is a supervisor for a private doctor which he was in trouble with the law but everything was dropped but for that year my daughter was behind him 100% as a manager for his office now this doctor has called in my daughter's coworkers the people she manages and ask them if anything goes on to let him know and he won't let her know he also have asses her and tries to make a joke about it one minute he's great to her telling her what a wonderful job she's doing and then next he's telling her that he has problem with the way she was working there going behind her back asking other people what she's doing he'll pull up front and ask what she is doing and he also wants her to text him dearly and tell him what she's doing as far as working for the day he comes in late and blames her for his patients being backed up he's mentally breaking her down he tells me she's the best manager he's ever had and then turns around and tells her she's not doing her job he's belittling her in front of her staff and like I said he's calling them into the office and asking them if they have anything against my daughter that he wouldn't tell them does she have a case at all
Best thing to do is get another job. A leopard doesn't change it's spots.
WardahAyan, do not quit. That was the mistake I made. Document everything she says, does, witnesses and dates. I did have the attorney general investigate my agitators but they had advised me that by quitting, I made the ability to file charges a lot harder. Just smile and know you have the upper hand.
Thanks for the informative article! I have a really truly very insanely horrible boss. And she exhibits ALL of the top ten signs of bullying me. I repeat all ten signs! I am planning to leave the job after working for her for 7 months! Which have been undoubtedly the worst years of my life!! She has on every occasion bullied me in front of the external people (customers etc) and in front of co-workers. She spies on me. She gossips behind my back. She threatens me to fire me, this has been happening ever since she hired me. I'm still on probabtion, she threatens she won't be making me a permanent employee any time soon. She just talks bad about me behind my back too. (I know this obviously through other co-workers, cause they seem to know what only she was supposed to know). She humiliates literally every other day adn usually its everyday. I have been so sick after joining this organisation that I have never been this sick in my life. She abuses, she disrespects.. I am not even sure whether to call her a human or a pure devil. If I come sick she yells at me for coming when I was sick, if I take a day off because of being sick she would yell at me, when I come back for showing "unprofessional behaviour" and "non-serious attitude" towards work. The kinda mistakes I did with at work I have seen almost all , and I repeat ALMOST ALL of the employees doing those negligible mistakes, but she would pinpoint my mistakes and highlight them and issue warning letters to me owing to the same mistakes others did. She only brings me in the limelight, although she is abusive and rude to ALL the employee from the janitor to the Manager everyone dreads her and hates her.
I am planning to leave the job without a month's notice. And planning to leave her in the crucial time for the company just because she deserves that adn even worse than that! May she go to Hell (amen)!
I started working for a grocer/hardware store in Wisconsin in 2016. I was offered the job as assistant manager of Hardware at 40 hours a week with the promise of great health insurance and pay raises after an interval of 3 month review, this was all lies. Over the course of 9 months I endured numerous death threats by the hardware manager (who had no experience but his brother was in construction?). I been told I have no rights because I wasn't born in this country. I contracted food poisoning from spoiled food sold by the store, poisoned by chlorine gas, harassed and spied upon by cameras . Store manager also hides on the other side of the isle and ease drops on employee's conversations. I had my hours cut by 80% and was blamed for other people's actions and was accused that I could potentially steal money out of the tills on my last day of work even though I only stayed on so the other employees could actually have a weekend off. I told the store manager two months prior that I was returning to school and he immediately told me that I would be cut to part-time (8 hours/week), even though he could easily adjust my schedule to have very little hours cut . Close to 40 employees have been either fired or forced to quit like myself in the past 9 months. My daily job duties as of the last day of employment were; evening manager of both grocery and hardware stores, emergency maintenance, hardware assistant manager during day shift, receiver, shelf stalker, janitorial, customer service, set up displays, meat room bathroom cleanup and many other duties in which no extra compensation was ever given. The women working there and grocery patrons shopping have made remarks of how creepy the store manager was and how he would stare at them. He would yell at the employees because they were removing expired food from the shelves. As for the owners, oblivious to what is happening, their phony attitudes that they care about the workers and community are gut wrenchingly hilarious. No one has received a raise in 9 months , and when asked why, the only response given every single time is that we have to get the sales numbers back. After quitting and returning to school, the store manager continues to disrupt hearings I have with the UI judge even though it took almost 6 months to receive any benefits. Many other incidents happened in that store such as massive amounts of rodents, bugs, putrid smell of garbage in the summertime which is thrown in a dumpster divided by a leaking steel door, No lawyers want to take this but the harassments continue.
My boss lies and takes credit for my work. She also calls my phone when I am on break. If I come back 10 minutes late, she has made comments about it. Everyone else can work in peace, but she is constantly at my desk asking trivial questions. What is this?
So just wondering if my manager constantly says we are all replaceable...he doesnt care about us and calls us babies belittling us in front of customers...is that bullying? I was called into work on my birtbday and went in on my day off the day after. And all theaw things werr said aloud and to customers because i asked for a break when i had someone meeting me on thier lunch break only then sent me home early after. Is this unjust or is it me?
The worst thing to do i would say, is to allow a co-worker or boss to gossip about you without defending yourself. You cant defend everything, but if you even overhear someone talking about you, you owe it to yourself to make your presence known and say "Were you asking me something?". Either they will admit it and confront you or play it down but the worst thing in a work place is to let gossip go unchecked, because gossip is a wildfire that if its not stopped early it will go out of control and lead to other problems - your boss may bully you aswell then, you lose respect etc...Even if its the boss gossiping, he needs confronted. Just my 2c.
What if your husbands boss and coworkers are making it so he doesn't want to go to work, and he is stressed and its affecting his marriage and family? Is there anything that can be done? Can I do anything?
Don't give in or give up. Use up PTO, go to EAC, if affecting health, take PTO, take an FLMA. The point is, if this is a good move for your resume, or the salary, or both, you are there for YOU. If you can take it, dig in your heels and @@@k them! Two can play at that game. Hell, maybe they will give up trying to make you quit and move on!
My boss is actually my husband. However, the owner is his boss and they have known one another for 23 years. I was having a lunch today with both of them and the owner gets into telling me how I was responsible for the company's loss of 4mil. I asked how was that, and in so many words he tells me because my husband wasn't aloud to remain at the other office where this potential money maker project was because he had to go running back home to me. WTF??? Seriously? I have done nothing but support my husband's traveling over the years. We have two children. I have been the amazingly awesome supportive wife and employee. I couldn't' believe he said this to my face!
Yea I wish I can quit or move on. My boss is my brother an he's making my life hell cleaning his daughters daycares you have no idea it interferes with my other jobs I do he's got me feeling so low he stresses me to a point I get headaches chest pains diaria my stomache always nervous I never know if I'm gonna get paid he already owes me 3 weeks pay.

Great article. Working with my jerk boss for six years and he has been been using his new employee as a snitch. I am ready to move on, but not without some parting shots. Someday when he passes away, I'm sending a wreath to his funeral with "ASSHOLE" written on the banner.
I am going through this now, and H.R. has already been fed her story
I am not sure that I'd class all these as bullying, but a sign of a bad manager. While others are without doubt, if done on a consistent manner, bullying. It isn't about you being an adult, because an adult would not behave in such a manner towards you in the first place, and a person in a position of power should not either. Here it sounds mild but it can be viscous.
At night and on the weekends you feel completely exhausted and have no energy for pursuits you used to enjoy
...This is caused by your boss being abusive? Hmm.
I never believed in spell casting or magic. I felt silly even looking at spell sites online. I have been in tears over the loss of my husband. I found testimonies about Prophet Esene and I have no idea why I searched "spells" but I did. I ordered a love spell from email@example.com and got my husband back Thanks for simply being legit and delivering where other sites never could. Tamara Williams
Who to report manager i believe she is stealing from boss paying herself more then what she is supposed to be making and being a bully. I believe she has something on boss because they don't do anything to her when we report her to hr or boss.
my boss is a bully. When you go to her with issues of another dept. (rumors, catty talk).
The boss demands that you tell her the names of people.....I was told I had to tell her informing peoples names--- Is this legal? The person is her right hand man (the one with the mouth) and refuses to discipline him. I quit telling her about issues. In the future how should this be handled.
I would love to sue US Bank for harassment, unfair treatment and bullying to me and a few others. I worked in a small department at US Bank, Hopkins, MN. After a few months, the department was tasked by the manager to rate our supervisor/lead in a one page questionnaire. At first, I was not going to do it. But then I decided that management should know how we felt about the lead and if management retaliated, we could go to HR. So I gave my honest rating of the lead and it was not favorable. The "lead" was mid 20s, late or on break or sitting with her head on the desk with another migraine most of the time; did not understand the job and was a horrible trainer and supervisor; she lacked the experience, knowledge, training and skills required to do her job. Anyone else in the department, myself included, would have been so much better. After the questionnaires were "anonymously" delivered back to the manager (she could tell our handwriting), a few of us were targeted. Two of my co-workers were told to not talk, email, IM or communicate at or outside of work with a few of us. We use to go on walks, lunches and dinners together often. The department changed after that and it became very hostile. I was told by two of my co-workers that they were told their jobs were on the line and they were now on probation. I was not, but I was asked by the manager if I knew of anything that they said that could be used against them. Of course, I did not tell them anything. Other than the questionnaire was a stupid idea and management should be correcting the "lead" situation. The first job offer I got, I quit and emailed HR with documentation. Of course, US Bank never responded. I wish the manager, lead and HR manager were all fired. And that 4 of us got settlements from US Bank. I think $250,000 each would teach US Bank a lesson.
While working on these jobs I found a way to use the company while I am there and look for another job without giving them notification. That is my way of making them pay.
I'm right in the middle of it (I'm suspecting, according to close friends & family) but what if you don't live in USA, but in Europe (not even the UK) and have some kind of disability? Lawsuit? Not even. This country is falling to its doom, cant even handle a serious trial of any kind. What should I do....I love my job, only problem is this unstable, empathetically challenged person is the only setback.
I am sick and sad over so many of us suffering this.....I will pray every day hat the victims are held in the hand of God and that He block these torturers out....
i had worked for security company my co work (male) who was after me for sex i refused after that year i was never happy at all at work my boss lately calls me trouble maker at that time when im asking for a new uniform he will blow up, chase me out of his office and shout me infront of my co-wokers and make me look bad to get me fired when im at at work i would feel as if i don't have rights whilst i love the job evryone had turn their backs on me becoz of him. people come late for duty and they will change me from my post and put other people who were late for duty the other day he said both females are nt allowed to work together but the other nite he made me suffer posted both females at that nite seemed to me as a setup. on that nite i was attacked by my co-worker has an affair with the senior and very close with the manager we ended up fighting so went on hearing i got fired the co-worker is still working but security term and rules fighting on duty is dismissal but both of us fought although i was dismissed my service was good but got unfairly dismissed

I an being bullying at my workplace because of the Manager and supervisor, I have twenty years of services with provinicial government. For month now I have been off sick due to the stress and anxiety. Now I am preparing to put thing in places something happen to me at my workplace because of the Manager and supervisor. I cannot take it anymore, I cannot get anyone to believe me. I the victim here, no one seen to care what I have been through or what I am going trhough. The only thing that keeping me going right now is my daughter and my grandchildren. I just want to end it all. Everytime I tries to fight back I keeps coming up against a brick wall. I want to put a sucide letter in place in case something do happen to me at my workplace that would link back to the manager and superivisor in charge
im putting this annonymously for the fear of further victimisation. the worst workplace blyying is in australia in child care industry. it drove me to an attempt of taking my life. no one cares, no one will get involved to help.....if you try to fight back they will take restraining order against you claimimng that your story emotionaly ruine them and then you are shut out completely so you wont be able to complain or take actions. they simply will tight your hands and shut your mouth to stop you to expose them
Self Empowerment! Read these two books by Robert Greene. 'The 48 Laws of Power' and 'The 33 Strategies of War'. Good luck!
I can't put my name down for fear of any further reprisals. I'm one of you guys. I worked in corporate Britain for over three years in insurance had managed to establish good working relationships with all my colleagues, constantly told what a good worker I was, all positive reviews, my supervisor left and then the problems began my new supervisor was a micromanaging monster, nothing I ever did was right, only her way worked. The manager whom I fell under was just horrible, I learned since that he hada reputation for bullying others. I tried to fight back documenting the harrassment and bullying and got HR involved. I have to warn you guys if you think HR is your friend, then I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news,you are going to get a nasty surprise. Management and HR drink from the same trough and most likely will support management over you. I suffered stress and depression due to the bullying at work. My advice to you is that you need to recognise when enough is enough and seriously look at quitting to preserve your health. THAT IS WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT, YOU. COMPANY LOYALTY IS ONLY EVER ONE WAY THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THEIR EMPLOYEES HEALTH.
I decided to quit as I'm still at an age where I can take my life in whatever direction I choose. Skill up get better, deny the bullies their power. I've recently decided not to work for anyone again. I'm trying to set up my own business doing what I love, Think about what you are good at and see if you can be your own boss. You can't bully yourself!! I just want to let those who suffered and are suffering being bullied know that you aren't alone, its not your fault and you are all in my prayers.
So I have unfortunately had several women bosses that fell under the category of bullying one was completely off her rocker, she even sat outside my home and when I left for work she ran her car up right behind me as fast as she could. Keyed my car, blocked me into parking spaces, and was havig other people make obscene phone calls to me. I quit and file for unemployement of which I was awarded hands down. But what is scary is that person is now a Nurse. Not my issue anymore. However it taught me alot. SO now I have a boss that I work for five months out of the year in addition to my primary job. SO I have two jobs for the same employer. the boss that I work for pt time out of the year is a total bully and is getting away with it. I feel sorry for her. She belittles people while on the job in front of everyone, I at one time started keeping notes, and for some reason she got really nice. SO I deleted my notes thinking hmmm, she just has some kind of imbalance. Now she is right back at it again. Yesterday she started her rude behavior again, cutting me off, when I leave from work and say goodbye she will not acknowledge me let alone say goodbye. She behaves like the popular girl in 8th grade, she talks about other managers within our hospital, she even went as far as talking about how fat they all where and started walking and pouding her feet and saying "boom bada boom" . It was her impression of the fat managers we have. Clearly has a chemical imbalance, but due to the circumstances of the job she has gotten away with it for 17 years. Its a small emergency room at a resort which is part of the main hospital that I work for. Since its off campus and 38 miles from the institution we are tied to, she truly has crossed the line for years. I am so tired of innsecure women. Its not my problem that I am a happy person. I am happy because I have known pain. I have worked in mental health and have deep compassion for others over addiction, and mental health issues. My job reviews are great, everyone loves me, as I love them. I am outgoing, loving and just happy to be me. She did this to a new nurse this year as well. However she has more respect for the new nurse than she does for me the lowly admitting staff member. Ya know the first one really did me in. but I moved on. better job and am happy, and quite frankly I am too old to fall for this other persons behavior to try and get me to break. She is 56 years old and quite frankly should be ashamed of herself. The whole taking notes thing is so aggrivating, it makes me feel sneaky. Here I am the one who is so not the bullyier and I feel bad for taking notes. How do I get administrators to recognise this persons behavior with out causing a stink? Or do I really want to do that? I have already been through this garbage and its getting really old. Yet a part of me thinks , how rude, and what a shame that we (the hospital) are being represented by a person who does a dang good job at being a nurse, however behind the scenes is a total witch? She even makes fun of the patients after they leave. For instance, no wonder this patient is having a heart attack and has no business being on the hill skiing he is out of shape and way over weight' and then will go on to state that its mind boggling to her the people who come up to ski that have no business skiing. She is just a meany? why is that your business I ask? I don't even think the way she does. It take alot for me to be judegmental. The other day she openly made fun of religion and was stateing that the bible isn't true and that its all a bunch of fables. She knows I am a christian and she just does it to be mean. She doesn't care, and why should she she is getting away with it. I know will have 6 months to think it over, do I really want to return to this job when ski season starts in addition to my primary job? its so sad, because I am a good fit for the resort. Oh well there loss I guess if I don't. I have applied for another job with in our institution and kinda hope I get it. If the ski population thinks they are all that, and if our hospital has no intentions of cleaning up the act up there, then I don't want to work there. I think I vented more than I asked for advise didn't I? Sorry, I would like to say I go home and don't think about her, and honeslty most times I don't, but she once again is trying to get my goat and I don't know why? DO you think she is a bully? I even read a personalysis report on her that we all took and tried to understand her personality. IT doesn't apply to her, to me she is just a lousy lousy boss.
I experienced years of workplace bullying, kept daily documentation (just because I did to keep track of work, before I even knew I was a bullied target) and my bully supervisor before showing true colors had become my closest friend and we had what seemed an excellent work relationship for years. After a reorg and simultaneous stressful demanding project, she crumbled and I shined, and she commended me for being her 'rock' and 'bright spot' and reason for staying at the job. I had a history of stellar performance, zero reprimands, and same supervisor even justified paying me 'out of class' (state govt job) due to me work above/beyond. Imagine my confusion and dilemma when this supervisor started making my job and life impossible, scapegoating me for all ills and eventually was able to reframe reality to a twilight-zone-like fiction where i was 'crazy' and a 'problem employee' and then plotted with her boss to set me up for failure and scrutinized/hypermonitored me and eventually presented a laundry list to HR of infractions (lies) to begin a process to terminate me. I left for a promotion with support of a bureau director (her boss' boss) who spoke out that my supervisor was the problem, and I was an excellent employee, but after 3 months on the new job (before I got there and while i was there) she worked with a laser focus to defame and destroy me, and I knew that but figured I'd do my best and win people over with the 'real me'. No, i was sent back to abusive agency supposedly 'not meeting standards' as the new agency broke all their own policies in the process and cut my probationary period in half (all this after i confided that i was happy and grateful to be here but had suffered abuse at the previous agency at hand of my supervisor... i disclosed this thinking it would 'immunize' me to the ongoing rumour mill and defamation she kept spewing to my new colleagues; apparently my honesty served only to brand me as 'trouble' and out I was shoved). Once returned to abusive agency, now with 'proof' it is ME who is the failure, they didn't place me back in the previous position from which I was promoted, a business critical and hard-to-staff valuable unique skillset the agency head and director of HR signed off for hiring freeze waiver just a month prior) but i was told there is 'no work' in my previous position thus i was moved to a new area where I had no skillset or interest and where ten contractors already cover (whereas the job I had been specially trained and very successful went unfilled and the team was known to be struggling without adequate coverage). So set up for failure so obvious and already diagnosed with PTSD from the abuse, i spent one day back at that job, received bizarre treatment and obvious lies and pretext to the point it was frightening and creepy, i elected to go on unpaid FMLA, and to this day i cower in my home suffering a complete inability to function or even leave my home. If that wasn't enough, during the time I was out, my abusive supervisor stalked and cyberimpersonated me and now she maintains several impersonated profiles of me on sex communities and porn video sharing sites and has optimized the search engines to link this filth to my real online persona; she is putting my life in danger, and destroying every relationship i've had with friends and professional connections and now painting me a heinous pervert, and giving the public all they need to find and possibly rape or even kill me, but I fear reporting to police because I have been reporting her workplace harassment for years and never saw any help; only retaliation and further support of her. My husband with whom I worked became the target after i 'escaped'; he took a lateral transfer to another agency (lateral transfer avoids 6 month probation period during which defamation can catch up as she sure tried even to ruin him as he left but fortunately he made it unscathed to the new job; thankfully cuz now we have only his salary to live on as i lost mine and my health coverage) but his online persona is also being flooded with lies and covert threats. My former supervisor is posing as me in porn profiles, soliciting perverted and vulgar sex publicly as me, inviting strangers to come take advantage of my private parts and also posing in a blog as my husband and writing posts as his ex (his ex my supervisor met/stalked via local hiking group); she also posed on grouphug confession site as some young girl he had sex with and said he had sex with 25 younger women as he wishes his ugly old-as-dirt girlfriend (me) were younger and more attractive. So... there's more... But i recognise that this sounds insane even to those who know workplace bullying and mobbing at its worst. I feel hopeless and terrified as i cant imagine conveying the mountain of documentation, evidence and backstory I have captured over the years that anyone will have the time and broad expertise in all related topic matter to absorb and believe this without a great degree of commitment. But it is all true and if I hadn't been living it (ongoing devastating nightmare from which suicide seems only way out) i wouldn't believe it either.
my daughter worked for a company for 6 years, never had a problem, then she was asked about her manager in the dept. she worked in, they store manager told the other manager what my daughter said and it was on, from that minute they lied to her, belittled her, blamed her for petty things that went wrong and gossiped about my daughter, when my daughter got wind of a rumor that she would be fired she was told no, the other girl was lying, don't worry, she will be delt with, my daughter went on her vacation, when she returned, she wasn't in the store 15 minutes and they fired her, mean while this trouble maker is still there, is this wrongful termination?
My boss of a year and a half actually told another leader that he intended to "break me". As far as I know nothing has been said or done about this comment and I'm at a loss for how he can be allowed to say something like this. I've worked for this company for over 25 years and good reviews the entire tie. No work issues until he started. He's making things up now and I'm trying to document but feel like my direct supervisor is at a loss how to handle this situation. HR is finally involved and they are suggesting a coach to help us work on our communication. I don't think this is the way to go about dealing with a bully boss from everything I've read here, but feel I certainly can't say this as it will make me look bad. Am seeing a psychiatrist, who is recommending drugs to treat stress, depression and lack of sleep. Already dreading Monday morning, worrying about what he'll do next. Normally, I feel like I have patience and am a strong person, but worry that maybe he is breaking me as he intends because I don't have much fight left in me.
I and a colleague had been publicly humiliated by the chair of a non profit organization. There were at least 150 people present when he did this. Was our rights violated and do we have a case ?
i have a boss who is stressing me they have bipolar,and its taken its toll with me,i cant take anymore,i want to leave can i claim any benefits,
at least now I know I'm not alone and that its not my fault. I also feel its not worth it burning up all my energies at a job I don't enjoy and a boss who's always nasty toward me...
Hey I'm being bullied and racially harassed at i can't take it anymore and it's really stressing me out i want to quit but i don't know if i could get unemployment from it
If you are being bullied, the trick is to not take it personally. There is nothing wrong with you. If it wasn't you it would be someone else.
In my 30 years of working I have had the misfortune to work for or witness the antics of several serial bullies.
Unfortunately, they won't change, if their target leaves, they are always on the lookout for the next one.
So your choices are:
- You can leave
- You can build up a case against them and report them to someone more senior
- You can stand your ground and keep your head down and given time they will move onto someone else or leave.
I've usually stood my ground, and that person usually leaves to move up the career ladder - I always feel sorry for the people who now have to put up with them.
You guys should look into Scarlatto, its part of the NYC Restaurant Group located around Times Square. The Assistant Manager there talks everyone down, the workers are over worked and there is NO sense of respect in that environment. That supervisor doesn't even have the decency to show some respect to his customers. Very rude and pretty much does whatever he wants. Name? Miri.
I don't know if you can help me, but here goes. I have been working in the financial sector for about 4 years now. The first place that I worked for was a bank. The manager and co-workers were fine, until the manager decided to show everybody's sales results to create "friendly competition". The results that I yeild from my work were superior. The coworkers did not like it. I was able to be nominated by the director for Best Employee of the Year" for my efforts within my first year working there. The manager worked there for nine years and had never had a nomination. The manager started to create a toxic work environment by getting other coworkers to gang up against me, spreading mallicious rumors, telling lies. The manager even threatened to take away my job. I had tried was other "helpful" websites said like documenting occurances, maintaining my work, notifying HR about the situation - but to no avail, requested a transfer to another department but repeatedly denied. My final resolution was to leave. I made sure that I paid out of my own pocket for all the training courses I needed to get my next job at a credit union. Now when I started at the credit union, everything seemed great until they found out that I work at a bank. Come to find out the position that I was hired for, others tried to obtain it and were denied. They were peeved about this. Since I did not do the hiring, I felt it was not my problem. I did not need to justify my having the position to anyone, my merits spoke for themselves. Well, it gradually esculated from there. My first group work with coworkers to do a quarterly sales campaign. There were 3 in the group. One of the coworkers felt that she could omit pertinent information and would try to show me up at every turn. I did not return her gift, but made sure that I kept abreast of everything I needed to know and sought outside resources. Then this woman got the other 2 coworkers to collude with her by contributing little to the team. As I realised the tactic, I started to pull back my ideas, mention them in front of them and the manager (when the manager was present), and sent emails of my ideas cc'ing the manager to create a paper trail. When I asked that there be equal distribtution of work on the team, the rumors spread that I was not "nice". Will the ring leader ended up leaving the workplace for another job and all was well. Until...another coworker started spreading rumours that I was "complaining" about my position. I had never spoke to this coworker or relayed any type of distress about my position whatsoever. I noticed that my managers in speaking with me would say things such as "well complaining is not the best way to go about things as you could catch more flies with honey than vinegar". I arranged a meeting with my branch manager to find out what she thought about my performance on the job and to clear the air. As part of the discussion I had told the manager about the coworker spreading lies and even advised the branch manager about what the coworker said about her - gossip that was said about her before I even came on board. I did not hear my name associated with the word "complaint" ever since. Then another coworker who was hired on a 6mth contract came to work in my department. She had other plans - like getting a permanent position at my expense. This coworker would claim that I was incompetent, tell lies about me, claim that I was stealing sales - it was horrendous. At first, the branch manager seemed to believe her, then after a while the manager saw how she really was as the same coworker would gossip about the manager and act nasty towards her. That coworker is gone. Then another coworker who I thought was decent had joined forces with the one on contract when she noticed I was getting more sales than her. She started claiming the same things i.e. stealing sales and accusing me. I have gradually reduced contact with her. Another employee joined the team as the receptionist and was too a gossip and started to spread lies based on what the formerly decent coworker said about me. Now they too are spreading lies that I steal sales. I am a hard working person of integrity. When they invite me anywhere, I don't go in fear that they will spread more lies. I don't know what to do. I see that they do not like the fact that I am an honest and hardworking. The receptionist would purposely give me closed accounts while giving the backstabber sales. I still bring in more sales despite this. On friday the receptionist left the job. But I have the other coworker to deal with? And she is recruiting other coworkers. Help!
I endured over ten years of hostile environment in my state job, but it really got bad the last four years when our new exec director brought in a real Nazi buddy of hers to supervise staff and my old nemises, the deputy director and his confidential secretary, set about to sabotage and undermine my credibility just when I thought I was finally getting out of the hole. Well, after disciplinary action, diagnosis of Bipolar and ADHD, then Civil Rights and EEOC complaints (that found in THEIR favor) I went into extensive outpatient treatment for two months. When I came back I found that the Nefarious Nazi was rejecting all my work and sending me curt nasty emails about how I'm not getting my work done properly, and then for the next three years they failed me on my performance evals. I was told that back in 2006 the exec director asked HR what would be the steps to take to have me removed...thus the three failed PAR's. So this summer I got wind that they were going to shoot the final bomb, a termination notice Violation so I left on medical leave and went back into therapy, this time a PTSD program. While there, I decided to go with it and applied for disability retirement, which was just approved..YIPPEE...but I still must go back and complete "seperation docs" and clean out my cube. I'm worried that they may ask me to sign a confidnentiality agreement...but I don't want to be silent. I'm thinking that there's nothing they can do to me at this point short of retaliation. What if I refuse to sign the confidentiality agreement? Is that within my rights? In the meantime, I'm enjoying my freedom and stressfree life. I've enrolled back into the Master's degree program I started in 2006 and am looking forward to a happy future.
I have been increasingly bullied mostly since my boss got a gigantic promotion which seems to have caused her to think 1) she can treat me (her assistant) any way she pleases and believe me she does and 2) she is a Really Important Person and 3) I am a doormat.
It escalated quickly and I was crying in my car every time she attacked me for a missing space or something equally as consequential. Meanwhile, she is missing BIG stuff of great consequence but that is another thing-
Anyway, I finally couldn't take it and felt on the brink of not being able to work there- literally feeling sick all weekend much less actually going there- waiting for the attack. I went to the senior admin officer who (as you desribe HR people) listened sympathetically. She encouraged me to go to HR. Which I did not- she is not HR. A strange thing happened to me. I expected to be public enemy number one- pack your bags, retaliation time. But it did not happen. She STOPPED all her overt bullying behavior cold. She still has left me out of all projects including a giant project for 5 years coming- in which she promoted a clerk to team leader and left me out entirely. I felt so tossed out- then she screamed and yelled and shook her hand at me, I was just overwhelmed. So she has been reigned in. It is like a stay of execution. She can't fire me right now- (morelikely to kill me in my sleep). She cannot shriek at me and shake her hand at me evidently has been told that is a hostil work environment. But she STILL leaves me out of all work- except the most menial humiliating (make the binder labels match. tossing empty coffee cup on my desk etc.) but she has stopped the worst for now. She glares at me and I expect to drop dead from her hate- but that is STILL better than before. Reading your article I realize that I am the only member of a particular religion in the entire department. That is probably not really the reason for her nasty narcistic bullying behavior- but it sure is odd. THe place is FULL of 25 year old blond girls with long hair- they are nice and bright- but definitely the look and it sure isn't what I am. So I am job hunting furiously and still stunned- WHY WHY WHY. I am so mad and hurt and wondering what I did- everyone else seems to be doing great there- they are getting lots of opportunities to grow- not me. I'm stuck on an island surrounded by one alligator- with no future no growth at all. Suggestions welcome. Plus I'm 57 and in no mood to start over. But what choice do I have? I can't make her be nice to me- make her offer me growth and opportunity- apparently she has to stop shrieking but does not have to treat me like everybody else. CRAP.
Feedback welcome firstname.lastname@example.com
I am not sure if this helps. A few Manic-Depressive people have burned me but this is the first time I have a Boss that is manic-depressive. Manic-depressives are very smart and very good at manipulation any blame away from themselves. I do not like politics or mind games.
I am not quick witted, and I am not a quick worker, so it is very easy for people to manipulate my enviroment. My short-term memory bites. Yet I am very good at making customers happy by solving problems. I just started by new job in Feb. Being a Pisces does not help when a boss start having you list your tasks you've done every half hour. Feels like someone is Horse whipping me. Anxiety and dread is here and I have not felt this way in over 15 years. I am an optimist and strong willed, but this situation is bringing willies to my elbows.
I was call wet back , from my supervisor I told my mng about it he didn't care then the next day my sup said that I was a lie and everybody I guess bolive him , even if I went home sick that day , I went to the doctor next day and she said that I have high blood pressure and she put me on depression medication ,,, I was offended 2 weeks ago and now no body talks to me no more at work. But. The. Eeoc. Is doing an investigation but I don't know if I have a good case ..... Can some one help what can I do about this problem ???????
Great article thanks for the info.
At the company I work at we have a district manager who is great at sales but terrible with personel. He recently taunted an employee about a medical condition in front of other employees and then wrote the employee up for having to leave work early due to the condition despite the store manager giving permission for the employee to go home.
The worst part of it is that this DM has violated several rules and regs in the past and not been written up or in the case of wrecking a company car and being ticketed not being fired and now employees are terrified and upset and the employee who was taunted is threatening to sue if the DM is not fired.
I believe the employee has a case as I am HR yet the boss just lets him continue to do these things. I have no idea what to do. Anyone who has spoken out about this DM has been fired eventually as the DM creates a hostile work environment for them and then writes them up until termination is the only option.
I have not idea what to do. I feel that if this behavior is left unchecked it could cause the whole company to go under. We are already losing the best managers and employees due to this. Over 40 people will lose their jobs if we close.
Any suggestions??
few of the points are horrible..
I cant believe a boss can intentionally do #6
Kindly post a hub about what an employee can do if he/she finds such boss.
Hi, I just started at a company as one of four assistants to a manager who I am finding is a "bully boss." I have found there has been lots of emotional abuse and turnover in the position before I came. I am subjected to being yelled at over ridiculous things - many times over things that happened before I even started. I am given an unreasonable amount of work and then being interrupted by "bully boss" every few minutes and sent on wild goose chases that waste time. The work is piling up and other assistants have been fired for not keeping up with the demands! The assistants I work with are unhappy over the treatment they receive as well and I was warned that it will not get any better. With the current local economy I feel I have little choice but to stay. Previous employees who have gone to HR have been retaliated against and eventually were fired or left. I have begun documenting daily all the incidents and keeping demeaning and degrading e-mails. I will also study the company's HR policy and will employ the "Professional Persona" advice given in another article on this site (it is actually similar to the tactics I already use to deal with "Bully Boss). But after researching the law I am discouraged. Myself and previous employees who suffer physically the chest pains, stomach aches and headaches brought on by the onslaught of her attacks, do not fall under any protected class. We are all young women - but not all - no disabilities - and race/nationality is not an issue. Is there any other avenue to put an end to this? Since this is causing stress-related physical illness - can we submit a medical related claim?
Thanks for sharing the information. I'm going to share this article in my network of friends and relatives. I have given a stumble to your post
THANK GOD that I found your website! I now see that I have been at the hand of a bully boss who is using my co-workers to create a hostile workplace enviroment.
This is a great article! I experienced these problems at my former job. The biggest decision I am facing right now is if I should file a complaint with the EEOC or the U.S. Department of Labor. Should I do both? I quit before my boss had the chance to fire me.
I worked for a very large and repected non profit. It was discovered the officers in charge had been responsible for misappropriation of funds for the constituency of which we served. I reported this to a board member after I had notified the headquarters and they refused do anything about it.
After that happened the harrassment was so intense I went to the EEOC as you had stated and provided the investigator with a lot of documentation, however, my complaint was difficult to process due to the stipulations in the state of where I live. I ended up with a settlement from this charity which has millions upon millions, it was the worst experience of my professional life, if the trusting public only knew what I know...
Your blog and post helped me, otherwise, I would have been clearly out of luck. Thanks you.
I have just been "laid off" I was replaced by another preschool director 2 1/2 weeks before my boss laid me off. Can he do that? He tried to write me up time after time. one week later he had a nervous break down, can I get him for wrongful termination, that he was not stable when he laid me off? Do I have a chance to be re-instated?
I have left employment due to the work enviorment.
I could no longer con't to work 1-12 hours a day with out a break. I was salary so there was no time clock. When I brought this to the owners attention they stated if I got my work done than I could take a break. When I tried to leave early they would call a last minute meeting. Meeting were scheduled when I had asked off for personal time with my childrens activities. 2 business were housed in the same building I was asked to do work for the other company I did not mind when I had extra time. But when it interfered with my main job and I spoke up I was considered not a team player.
The owner started to ignore me send mean emails.
I tried I asked I emailed to try and fix all of this but now they are fighting me on unemployment.
What can I do?
At my georgia medical college, the EEOC director reports to the Provost and our Dean. No conflict of interest there! We had an Indian faculty member who other faculty were allowed, or directed by the department chair, to insult her native dress when she wore it, and even to try to trick her into eating meat (she was Hindu and a vegetarian.) She complained and EEOC did nothing except give them a heads up, and the harassment got worse.
This dept. chair should have been fired long ago, but managed to get tenure a few years ago. She lures new faculty in with the offer of tenure-track. Then as soon as they come, she sets about to sabotage them getting tenure. She forces them to write grant applications, then during her "review" changes their name from being the P.I. and puts hers down instead, even though she knows nothing about their research. I could write a book.
This was the sort of harrassemt Isuffer from my supervisor, She also lied about my performance after 35 years of service I was dismissed because of a temporay who lied. Why dose it takes the eeoc so long to solve a case?
this information is dynamite! it is a shame the American working public do not know their rights when it comes to a hostile working environment or the ever popular Boss who has it in for you no matter what you do! Why don't they teach this in school-instead of biology?!
I'm not sure whether to be depressed or encouraged by this, but it IS informative. Guess I'm not alone, at least.

Please note: I will no longer be teaching for Dominatrix School after the 28th October as I am moving abroad. After this date I will be handing over the reigns to Mistress Ida. If you can complete the lessons you wish to do before I leave I look forward to seeing you. If your time frame for lesson extends further than my leaving date I suggest you book your lessons with Mistress Ida.
It's been an absolute pleasure working for the school. I would also like to say a really big thank you to the other members of staff who made it all possible.
My name is Governess Elizabeth and I am pleased to welcome you to the London Dominatrix School. Based in Central London, Our aim is to teach you everything you need to know to become a professional Dominatrix. Merging practical experience and psychological theory, We offer you the chance to become both technically and theoretically proficient in the art of Female domination. A hugely financially and emotionally rewarding role, becoming a professional Dominatrix gives you the freedom to be your own boss and establish your own business, whilst developing new skills.
Our unique approach combines theory and practice so that you will become skilled in an array of activities, including corporal punishment, rope bondage, tie and tease, anal play, humiliation and feminisation. We also offer advanced lessons in chastity, urethral sounding, needle play, skin stapling and suturing. Throughout the course, we offer business support, allowing you to develop client consultation skills, and provide advice on website design, advertising and marketing. We offer a complete package for the aspiring Mistress.
My first experiences of BDSM were at the age of twenty-one when in a relationship with a submissive partner. We had a lot of fun exploring kink, but I would have loved an opportunity to be guided in the art of safe, sane and consensual BDSM. This is why We also offer the Kinky Couples course. No matter your level of experience, We offer you and your partner(s) a safe space to explore the many forms of kink in all their glory. Similarly, Our Mistress in the Bedroom course gives you the confidence to become the Femme Fatale you have always dreamt of.
Throughout your training to become a professional Dominatrix, We will show you how you can use your previous life experience to support your new choice of career. I have found that My roles working as a Teacher and in media and PR have been invaluable to the development of My business. Similarly, completing empirical research into aspects of BDSM, sharing My experiences of Female domination on stage and studying psychotherapy have combined to produce a unique approach to the art of Female domination; something We will help you to develop too. As a professional Dominatrix, I fulfil many roles for My clients; Confidante, Teacher, Disciplinarian, Friend, Therapist, Tease, Torturer. I relish the variety and the challenges that this job affords. It allows Me to explore My clients' and My own imaginations, fantasies and fetishes in a safe and fun way. It is a job that allows you to continue learning, to build strong and lasting connections and to realise the value of play in a risk aware and consensual way.
All lessons are held in Our fully equipped London Chambers where you will have access to all the necessary instruments and furniture to develop your skills as a Mistress/Dominatrix. Our lessons are taught one-to-one so you will be guided and receive feedback from Me, as well as the school model/sub. Alongside this practical training, We also teach the importance of understanding the psychological aspects of BDSM, particularly D/s (Dominant/submissive) relationships. This is a vital aspect of your training to ensure both your and your subs' safety.
Whether you are looking to take your first steps into the world of professional Female domination or wish to add some spice to your sex life, We look forward to welcoming you to the London Dominatrix School.

Could you beautify that untidy scrap of land?
Is there a piece of public land you think could be used in a different way?
Is there a verge that could be a wildflower meadow, a border that could grow apples for the neighbourhood or a place to plant flowers that would brighten up your street and give bees a pit stop perhaps?
Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service (LCVS) is offering support to communities who are interested in taking on the ownership and management of publicly-owned land or buildings via the established mechanism of Community Asset Transfer.
David Fannin, LCVS chief executive, said: "The rewards for local communities could be great.
"It's an opportunity to enhance the local environment and the health and wellbeing benefits for those who get involved could be huge."
LCVS is running free training courses to help people learn more about what's involved, what's possible and how to go about it.
The next training course is at The Cotton Chapel, St Botolph's Church, Boston, 1.30pm to 3.30pm on Thursday, February 23.
Places are limited and must be booked in advance.
Find out more and book via www.lincolnshirecvs.org.uk or email: email@example.com or call 01205 510888 ext 1
Cllr Claire Rylott, Boston Borough Council's grounds and open spaces portfolio holder, said: "Marvellous work is already undertaken by volunteers through our area as part of our Boston in Bloom activities. This includes improving and maintaining areas of public land. The urban meadow alongside John Adams Way near the Haven Bridge is a good example of improvements made by volunteers to an area of land that was otherwise wasteland. This is another good initiative for residents to get involved, especially if there is a scrappy piece of land in their own neighbourhood that they can officially improve for their own benefit."

Popular Televangelist Humbled by Catholic League Forced to Deny Vatican Anti-Semitism
More evidence of the extensive involvement of the Catholic Church in American politics surfaced recently. Pastor John Hagee of Cornerstone Church, in San Antonio, Texas, was pressured to state publicly that the prostitute church of Revelation 17 and 18 is not the Roman Catholic church.
Hagee has written in his book, Jerusalem Countdown, that the Vatican sold out to Hitler and never protested the Holocaust.
Because of Hagee's large Christian following, he recently declared his support for Republican candidate John McCain. Catholic political activists immediately began demanding that McCain refuse the endorsement unless Hagee apologized for his "bigotry" and "intolerance."
Hagee agreed to meet with a group of Catholic leaders and afterwards issued a letter of apology to William Donohue, president of the Catholic League of Civil and Religious Rights.
In it he stated that, "After engaging in constructive dialogue with Catholic friends and leaders, I now have an improved understanding of the Catholic Church, its relation to the Jewish Faith and the history of anti-Catholicism."
He goes on to deny that the Roman Catholic institution is identified in Revelation 17 and 18 and state that he believes that Catholic "true believers" will go up in the rapture. He continues with high praise for popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI and Catholic and Evangelical cooperation in promoting "…primacy of faith and values in our increasingly secular society."
Hagee's "improved understanding" of the "history of anti-Catholicism" is pure Catholic revisionism of history. Rome has been working hard to cover its tracks both during the inquisition and in the 20th century.
Jack Chick, in his book, Smokescreens, documents both the horrors of the inquisition and the Vatican's intrigues during and after World War II. Tens of millions in Europe were massacred or executed in Rome's attempt to stop the Reformation.
One of the more famous was the St. Bartholomew massacre in France. In one night, all the houses of the Protestants in the city were forced open and over ten thousand were slaughtered in just three days. In Ireland, another surprise attack was made on the Protestants after a time of peace and false security.
Also documented in Smokescreens and Secret History of the Jesuits, by Edmond Paris, is the Vatican's scheming behind Hitler in World War II. Detailed pictures show Nazi and Roman Catholic officials together with nuns and priests. Other pictures show brutal killings of those opposed to the Catholic-backed armies. But as soon as it appeared that Hitler would lose, the pope quickly switched his allegiance and came out "smelling like a rose."
America was founded by men fleeing the pope's wrath, but this part of our history has been buried or rewritten. Today's leaders are so poorly informed that they have no defense against Rome's sugar-coated lies.
While our government is focused on the Muslim threat to our way of life, another, more subtle evil is circling, also bent on destroying the freedom that Bible believers enjoy. Jack Chick says in Smokescreens: "Rome, when in minority is as gentle as a lamb, when in equality is as clever as a fox, and when in the majority is as fierce as a tiger."
Jesuit trained leaders and advisors are rapidly becoming a majority in our halls of government. John Hagee just experienced the fierceness of their wrath. Too bad he chose to buckle.

When bad things happen in a complex system, the cause is rarely a single act or a lone "bad apple." More often, an error — or "sentinel event" — actually signals a systemwide problem.
In criminal justice, a sentinel event could be a wrongful conviction or even a "near miss" that could have led to a bad outcome if it had not been caught.
NIJ supports research on reducing criminal justice errors and improving the administration of justice, including using a forward-thinking, nonblaming, all-stakeholders approach; examining wrongful convictions; and improving eyewitness identification.
Learn more about NIJ's Sentinel Events Initiative.
Scholars and laypeople alike debate what causes young people to commit crimes. Most states mark the legal transition from adolescence to adulthood at age 18, but researchers question whether the human brain is fully mature at this age.
As part of NIJ's Study Group on the Transitions Between Juvenile Delinquency and Adult Crime, scholars examined differences between juveniles who continue to offend and those who stop. They also looked at offending in early adulthood and the costs and benefits of interventions.

Secondary data analysis allows researchers to build on existing findings, replicate results and conduct new analyses. Through NIJ's Data Resources Program, data collected as a part of NIJ research are archived and made available to support new research aimed at reproducing original findings, replicating results and testing new hypotheses.
When an NIJ-funded study ends, researchers submit their data to the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data, which has been collecting data since 1978.

Offender re-entry into the community continues to be a pressing social problem: The number of inmates released every year from U.S. prisons increased fourfold over the past three decades.
Since the passage of the Second Chance Act (SCA) in 2008, more than $250 million has been awarded to government agencies and nonprofits for programs to help offenders successfully re-enter society. In this interview, NIJ grantee Ron D'Amico of Social Policy Research Associates discusses the implementation of SCA programs and their impact on offender re-entry.

Since World War II, the homicide rate in the U.S. has been three to 10 times higher than the rate in Canada, Western Europe or Japan. However, this has not always been the case. What caused the dramatic change?
In this Research for the Real World seminar, Randy Roth discusses how and why homicide rates have varied across time and space over the past 450 years, including an examination of the murder of children by parents or caregivers, intimate partner violence, and homicides among unrelated adults.
Watch and listen to Roth's seminar.
Scott Decker and his colleagues recently completed an in-depth examination of the roles of race, gender and education in one of the greatest social challenges facing our nation today: employment for criminal offenders returning to the community. Based on the results of this three-year study, Decker makes recommendations that could be critically important as decision-makers craft pre- and post-release policies and strategies to help the more than 600,000 criminal offenders who return to the community every year, particularly in this increasingly online world.

A report prepared by the UNCSD NGO Steering Committee
Tourism is a rapidly growing phenomenon and has become one of the largest industries in the world. The impact of tourism is extremely varied. On one hand, it plays an important and certainly positive role in the socio-economic and political development in destination countries by, for instance, offering new employment opportunities. Also, in certain instances, it may contribute to a broader cultural understanding by creating awareness, respecting the diversity of cultures and ways of life. On the other hand, as a tool to create jobs, it has not fulfilled its expectations. At the same time, complaints from tourist destinations concerning massive negative impacts upon environment, culture and residents' ways of life have given rise to a demand for a more sustainable development in tourism. Different parties will have to be involved in the process of developing sustainable tourism. This section focuses on what the tourism industry itself can do in order to increase its sustainability, defines three major problems, and suggests possible tourism initiatives to help solve these problems. Other problems should also be included in the discussion for it to become exhaustive.

Rio Olympics: Green Pool Distracts Diving Event
British diver Tom Daley and his fellow competitors on Tuesday worried about the murky green color of the diving pool.
Green, not gold, was the color of the day at the Olympic diving venue in Rio.
Sure, China won its third consecutive gold medal on Tuesday, but the buzz was about the color of the water in the diving pool.
It was a murky green, in stark contrast to the pool's previous day's color and also that of the clear blue water in the second pool at the venue.
British diver Tom Daley tweeted a photo of the two pools next to each other and captioned it, "Ermmm...what happened?!"
Water quality has been a major issue surrounding this year's Summer Olympics, but in the ocean and lagoons, not the venue pools.
A statement from Rio 2016 organizers says water tests were conducted and there is no risk to athletes. Organizers say they're investigating what caused the color change.

September 2015 - 12 Night Grand Mediterranean (Venice To Barcelona) Cruise on Norwegian Spirit
Great Ports of Call with Excellent Service
We chose this cruise mainly for the ports-of-call, and were not disappointed. The ship is definitely dated, but was very clean. Probably the smallest cabin we have ever had. We literally had to get off the bed at the end when getting up to use the bathroom - there was not enough room to walk around the sides without running into either a chair or the desk. The service was excellent, but we felt that the ship nickled and dimed for everything. First ship I have ever seen that charged for room service. (They advertise free room service with a $7.95 convenience fee + service charge.) Not a big deal, as we never use this, but thought it worth noting. The drink prices were higher than any other ship we have sailed on as well. The food was fine. Some nights were great, others were just ok. We didn't have any bad meals. Food at the buffet was fine, but nothing special. The salad bar was lacking for sure and the selection of fruit wasn't great. We enjoyed most of the entertainment and really liked many of the areas to sit and have a drink, read, etc... There are never enough chaises near the pool, but at least we could find one on another deck.
Did feel that there might be a plumbing issue on the ship. Our totally did not always flush on cue, and there was sometimes a 'sewage smell' when walking around.
Again, great ports, service was very good, food was good. I would say our experience was slightly better than what we were expecting, so that is a win!

Is it a worm with a devil's horns? How about some insane pasta-like art installation? Maybe a predatory underwater sea creature?
It's none of the above. The image, which has been circulating on Reddit, is actually a mosquito's foot magnified over 800 times.
Check it out from Live Science:
In a post on Reddit that garnered more than 32,000 upvotes, the photo doesn't come with much more backstory than that. But the image is actually from a scanning electron microscope made by photographer Steve Gschmeissner.
It was shortlisted in the 2016 Royal Photography Society International Images for Science contest. It's been reposted around the web quite a bit since then, Gschmeissner told Live Science, possibly because of its unexpected complexity.
The image shows the end of a mosquito's leg, including a claw, scales and the pulvillus, a pad with adhesive hairs. According to Gschmeissner's photo description, these scales dot the entire bodies of mosquitos but are particularly dense near the foot, and may help protect the limb and enable the mosquito to land on water, where these insects lay their eggs.
"Insects are fantastic for that because they have all this sort of fine microscopic details," Gschmeissner said.
Gschmeissner has a degree in zoology and decades of experience in cancer research using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at the Royal College of Surgeons in London. He retired early 10 years ago to turn to making SEM images full time, and says he's probably sold 25,000 images since then. His customers range from fine-art collectors and media companies to working scientists and album-cover designers.
"There was even a fashion collection based on my images, so all sorts of weird things," Gschmeissner said.
Scanning electron microscopes blast a beam of electrons over the object to be imaged, which is coated in gold (a metal) so that the electrons scatter off the surface, returning information about its contours. Because they use electrons, SEMs have a very high resolution and can image even nano-sized structures.
Gschmeissner has photographed a massive variety of tiny worlds with this technique, many of which appear on his website:
Spiders, millipedes, wasps, maggots and ants are all featured in his diverse portfolio. He's also imaged yeast cells, algae and the details of a marijuana leaf. Because of his background in cancer research, human micro-anatomy is one of his favorite subjects.
He's even used the scanning electron microscope to image droplets of his own blood, revealing the red blood cells and platelets in amazing detail!
What do you think of this awesome new form of art?
What would you like to see imaged?

The Lords Supper
What is the Lords Supper?
If we follow the Bible, our worship will be plain and simple for all to participate in.
a. Ex. Groundhog Day Movie- Cold Shower Of course, its Tuesday .
VII. Can a Christian who has sinned or has not repented take the Lords Supper?
Mark 16:16: If you believe and are baptized, you shall be saved
I John 2:1-2: My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: And He is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
The Lords Supper -
ROMAN CATHOLICS (and Episcopalians)
Daily mass is observed and
usually required as a "perpetual sacrifice of Christ's blood". Better
known as Holy Eucharist. To the Catholics, the bread becomes the actual body of Christ and
the wine His actual blood. This is known as "Transubstantiation".
Sins are forgiven as part of Mass.
Their teaching on the Lord's
Supper is distinctively peculiar. They believe in "Consubstantiation".
When the Lutheran priest blesses the bread, they say that the true body and blood of our
Lord Jesus Christ are under the bread and wine.
The Lord's Supper is taken once a
They believe in closed communion.
Only those who have been voted into the church can take the communion. They do not offer
the Lord's Supper upon every first day of the week.
Their taking of the Lord's Supper
is usually every quarter. A collection for the "poor" is associated with the
observance of the Lord's Supper.
The Lord's Supper is taken once a
year after sundown on the "exact day" of the year Christ died. Unleavened
bread and fermented wine are used for the communion, and only those of the "heavenly
elect" (144,000) can partake of the Lord's Supper.
Mormons meet on Sunday for
worship which includes weekly observance of the Lord's Supper. They use light bread and
water instead of unleavened bread and grape juice.
Their worship service is held on
the Sabbath which begins Friday at sundown and lasts until Saturday at sundown. The Lord's
Supper is usually observed once a quarter and always preceded by the observance of
The only thing different about
this religious group from the others is in their observance of the Lord's Supper. The
minister is to invite "all those who have with true repentance forsaken their sins
and have believed in Christ for salvation" to take communion.
The unique teaching that
separates the pentecostals from other religious bodies is their divine healing that
supposedly takes place while they partake of the Lord's Supper. They believe that the
communion is a quickening life of Christ for their healing.
Christian Scientists have eliminated the Lord's Supper from their worship. They hold so called communion services in the branch services twice a year, but on these occasions, neither bread nor wine is used. It is basically a type of meditation.
