Are your steps ordered? We often work from a playbook we’ve created that outlines our professional desires from our 5 year plan to retirement. However, we can’t predict the disappointments, setbacks, disparate treatment, nor #workplaceabuse. There’s no playbook for how to deal with the latter. I knew it was wrong, and speaking up and asking for accountability increased the unconscionable behavior. I also knew that the only way to mentally and physically survive was to walk away despite the jaw dropping public spectacle. My life meant more to me than a job. It’s been four years of suturing the wounds that will never completely heal. But now there’s a playbook that levels the field — Workplace Psychological Safety Act — to assist employees and employers in maintaining an environment that protects everyone. If you’re mired in the murky mess of #bullying #gaslighting #microaggressions and more, and need support, contact @EndWorkplaceAbuseNow. There are state chapters around the country where we affirm your experience and guide you with resources and people to restore your life. My life’s plan didn’t include workplace abuse survivor and thriver nor social justice agitator, but when your steps are ordered, you walk with #faith and not by sight… knowing this chapter in your life could perhaps be the most important one that literally saves souls and benefits humanity. #MySilenceIsNotForSale @SilenceNot4Sale
