Workplace Bullying is the deliberate, repeated mistreatment of good employees by harassers who ignore all traditional boundaries of gender, race, age, and organizational rank. The authors, in this book and through the national nonprofit organization--Campaign Against Workplace Bullying--have introduced the term to working Americans. BullyProof Yourself At Work is the first American book and the first volume in The Work Doctor"s Bullying series focused exclusively on the topic of workplace bullying. About one-fourth of all employees are affected directly by a bully"s tactics. BullyProof Yourself At Work! is written for individuals who face tyrants at work who threaten their sanity, careers, and relationships with co-workers and friends. The first steps teach how to recognize bullying when it is happening and how to stop being surprised by the fundamentally different way bullies and their Targets (the recipients) think, act and see the workplace. Eight chapters are devoted techniques that can prevent or stop the self-defeating cycle into which Targets regretfully fall. Quotes from readers: "It"s like being set free from prison. God bless you and your work!" "You"ve helped me to stand up to bullies for months. I"m teaching my son bullyproofing before he enters the workforce." "Discovering the Campaign and reading your material is one of the best things to happen in my life." "I"m so glad that you both exist! I know my battle has just begun and I willface many new challenges, but know that I have The Work Doctor on my side. I WILL SURVIVE!" "You do not know how much I appreciate you help, advice, information and especially emotional support."
