Bullying from adults
It doesn’t get better when people get older. Got bullied recently posting on DoorDash sub about an abusive customer and I posted wrong due to fatigue working late at night and didn’t include all the screenshots of the conversation and the bullies immediately took the side of the customer. At least DoorDash sided with me when I reported her abuse (they could see the entire text conversation).
Also was bullied by a 25 year old supervisor and other associates on the job floor while I was working. I reported him and one of the associates to ethics and even though there are cameras on the floor (unfortunately I am not allowed to record or I would have solid proof) they sided with the bullies.
Plus 20 years working in telecommunications witnessed and received countless bullying which was allowed. I left that industry and all those people were laid off due to department closures as a result of 5G and AI.
I worked for myself for a while and it was wonderful not dealing with bullying. Unfortunately AI became my competitor and won so I’m trying to figure out a new route in the meantime.
