I endured months of abuse and bullying and ended over fired over it. I'm looking forward to starving to death. I just don't care anymore. You stand up for yourself and end up destroyed.

I'm sorry to hear that, Frank.I endured months of abuse and bullying and ended over fired over it. I'm looking forward to starving to death. I just don't care anymore. You stand up for yourself and end up destroyed.
I'm sorry that you're dealing with this. It sounds horrible.I endured months of abuse and bullying and ended over fired over it. I'm looking forward to starving to death. I just don't care anymore. You stand up for yourself and end up destroyed.
Ain't capitalism wonderful?!I endured months of abuse and bullying and ended over fired over it. I'm looking forward to starving to death. I just don't care anymore. You stand up for yourself and end up destroyed.
In my department (well, old department), the lead is an abusive bully who really can't stand any of us who work out there, has been acting like a tyrant making up his own rules and threatening us if we don't do what he wants (which he doesn't communicate to us). I know he hates me because I used to be the lead at one time and wrote him up for insubordination years ago, but he won't let it go (it was a manger who told me to write him up, anyway).
Nope!Ain't capitalism wonderful?!
In retail, bullying is rather common, especially in a corporatized setting, which Kroger is increasingly becoming. If someone doesn't like you for whatever reason, they can make your life hell by cozying up to managers and lying about you, turning them against you. There's a lot of cliquishness and it's very juvenile. The managers are often badly trained and there's a lot of corruption that goes on (managers having affairs and outright favoritism, including breaking various OSHA rules, as I've witnessed.)May I ask how and for what you were bullied
The sad thing is that kind of environment happens because no one cares about anyone else. It's a system running on selfishness and survival. And it'll be that way all the way up the corporate 'food chain'.In retail, bullying is rather common, especially in a corporatized setting, which Kroger is increasingly becoming.

Basically if you don't suck up to people and actually let it be known that you're not happy with the way things are and complain about it, you're the enemy. They also have no idea how to handle people who have mental health problems and the toxic work environment only makes it worse. They run the stores like you're in grade school and treat you like you're not an adult. That's how corporate environments are.
So since I don't kiss butt and am more honest about things, I tend to have conflicts with some people who want to act like tyrants and get away with it. So I have to resort to the union a lot of the time.
As for the lead I'm talking about, he doesn't like any of us who are in the gas station. He is extremely unprofessional, talking bad about us all behind our backs but saying nothing to our faces. He's extremely inconsiderate of others, constantly coming in late and making other late getting out of there (he's laughed me before because he made me miss my bus). He is making up his own rules as he goes along and blows up when we don't follow his imaginary rules that he never told us about in the first place. I could go on but basically he should be the one to be fired.
Thanks, maybe this is a blessing in disguise. That company has caused me so much pain over the years. I literally almost killed myself over it before. I've seen coworkers be assaulted, as well.The sad thing is that kind of environment happens because no one cares about anyone else. It's a system running on selfishness and survival.

I guess the best way to think about it is that thank God you're out of there. And then try to find somewhere that's not so toxic to work.
Bad.Sorry to hear that @Saint Frankenstein... How do your resources look until your situation is sorted?

I feel for you. It's been more than a decade now, but the reality TV show Big Brother, reminded me of that same kind of atmosphere that eventually got me.In retail, bullying is rather common, especially in a corporatized setting, which Kroger is increasingly becoming.
