It serves as a guide to help employees; supervisors and managers deal with the day-to-day problems at work - something that they have to face up to as long as they have to deal with people. It is a book that many of you will be most surprised to read in order to find out that these kinds of incidents do occurred at work. Though it may seem like everything is going okay, if we as managers and supervisors do not make ourselves and the environment an open door, we could find ourselves in serious implications. Individual workplaces that practice bullying could become known as a brutal place to work, where employees do not feel safe and secure. Thus, this could lead to financial strains on a company, legal fees or long term disability payments. As employers and employees, we must be vigilant about the environment we work in. Bullying is an epidemic that will destroy the workplace and people. The book would like managers and supervisors to realize the danger of poor supervision. It is a good start to listen to the concerns, fears and feelings of the staff. This level of maturity does not come easy, but it is one of the best ways to good supervision. There are some supervisors who want to have complete control. Such is the cause of so much stress in our lives. Stress is cancer. Cancer kills! No employee.no supervisor.no manager should have to go through physical, mental and emotional minutes, hours, days, months or years of psychological anguish of work abuse. It is wrong. Like Avadan's story, how many of you were aware that this was happening with her? How many of you this could be happening to a colleague you work closely with? Not many! People are usually afraid to speak out because of the fear of repercussions and fear of losing their livelihood.
