Workplace Bullying: Break the Silence Unfortunately, a lot of harassment and bullying goes unreported. There are a lot of reasons why someone would choose not to report this type of behavior, most of them rooted in fear of reprisal or job loss. The following six reasons were suggested and discussed in greater detail by Benoit Consulting in a recent article: 1.Keep this a secret: Fear of straight-forward confrontation with a manipulative individual keeps employees silent.... 2. Threats and fear: Employees learn very quickly who’s in charge, who calls the shots, and who suffers retaliation. 3.Love: In a work situation, employees who love the company and basically love the content of their jobs, don’t want anything really bad to happen to the company. 4. No one will believe you: Employees know that this bully has been behaving this way for many years and no one has been able to get him/her fired. 5.Self-blame: If only I could say the right thing in the right way, the bully would see the light. 6. Grooming: Bullies select their victims carefully. They cultivate power-over relationships with those whom they can successfully manipulate.

To all the customers who have supported me throughout the years I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has truly been an honour cooking for you. Your appreciation and compliments kept me going and striving to put forth the best food I could. But due to management choosing to bury their heads in the sand about labour laws and refusing to rectify the blatant shortcomings I was forced to leave. I in no way quit my job but was told I quit, basically I was terminated for standing up for myself. I showed up for my next shift and found the cafe closed until further notice. Later found out I was replaced by someone new. It was never my choice to leave the cafe but it was a decision forced upon me. All the best.... Chad
