Abuse. Don't take it. Know your worth.

I'm guess I'm lucky to never had encountered abuse. Have you seen it happen or experienced it yourself?

  • abuse in the US workplace is (generally) not openly visible in ways you expect
  • and yet, sexual abuse is still extremely prevalent in all industries
  • US companies can impose a MASSIVE chilling effect just by having your healthcare tied to your employment
  • mental abuse can be subtle (a form of psychological warfare) with something as simple as “we’re like a family here” or “you wouldn’t want to let down the team, would you?”
  • the first episode of Zom 100 gave a really good example of how far the mental abuse can escalate – between overwork, lack of sleep, verbal abuse, bad diet, you no longer have time to step back and think, you become completely dependent on someone else telling you what to do, you no longer have the strength of will to even contemplate saying “No”

Harassment from toxic managers who abuse employees verbally (insults, etc.) It happens a lot sadly.

I was an admin at a company that was borderline psychopathic. Yeah, tons of abuse at all levels. No progression unless you were a member of the executive teams family or married to one of them. Completely dysfunctional workplace.
