In their own words - bullying “One of my managers started ignoring me and was not passing relevant information on to me. He told me everyone thought I was a joke around the place. He kept offering my juniors work and perks and generally isolating me. I thought it best I just carry on as normal and ignore his nasty tactics. After a few months he gave up on me and moved on to pick on someone else. I still work in the same office but I will never trust him.” - Female who was working in the wholesale trade sector “My manager at the time would verbally abuse me all day every day to the point I dreaded coming into work and it was difficult to find another job as people were reluctant to hire me when they learned my reasons for leaving was that I couldn’t get on with my boss but ultimately when I got out of there I found it much better in every aspect of life.” - Male who was working in the retail trade sector “My manager was experiencing bullying and exclusion from several senior members of staff. By extension those senior members of staff began to behave in the same way towards myself and other colleagues in my managers team. We were labelled as troublemakers and as we were young, had lots of ageist remarks directed at us.” - Female who was working in the health care and social assistance sector “I was constantly made to feel scared, verbally abused & harassed. Anxiety was really bad but knew I had to go to work to keep earning my wages to help my family. I was constantly shaking & felt nervous all the time while at work. I dreaded going to work each day. I asked for help but nobody stood up to this man.” - Male who was working in the accommodation and food services sector 72 KANTAR PUBLIC 2022
