Has it come to this?

I found an article that underscores how deeply workplace bullying can affect a person. Apparently, the teacher who committed suicide felt the workplace culture was being severely (and negatively) affected by the administration in the district.  It’s worth a read.

I especially found the following passage interesting — “Teachers admitted that they are intimidated by school officials, afraid for their jobs and dare not speak openly about the conditions they face. More than one teacher spoke about being harassed for taking sick days. Another teacher noted the irony of having an anti-bullying campaign in the school while the teachers are being bullied.”

So true — we tell kids they can’t bully others — but it’s okay to turn a blind eye to adults bullying others?

Let me know your thoughts…Here’s the link:
