Re: 'Nasty party bullying

I think most people did at the time, it's never right to bully and intimidate but I think the guns on the roof just about trumped the eggs on the ground on that day.

Re: 'Nasty party bullying

We don't know what information the police were acting on. Unfortunately guns on roofs is something we will maybe have to get accustomed to.

Re: 'Nasty party bullying

I hate the word BULLY, because to me it was just a naughty child who wanted all his own way. I don't ever recall a bully being an adult and I wonder if this indicates that people are less able to stand up for themselves in today's world... or maybe expect the police to do so. If somebody commits an illegal offence then I am sure the police will treat it as a crime but, if it is just name calling and harassment surely we should be able to deal with it ourselves... or is the human race becoming a bunch of wimps?

Re: 'Nasty party bullying

You accept that there are bullies in unions then.? I did say all was of life.

Re: 'Nasty party bullying

Try when you really really need your job standing up to your employer bullying you, it's not easy if you cannot afford to lose your job.

Re: 'Nasty party bullying

There are of course bullies everywhere but I would suggest employers and people with a little power are worse than unions, in general unions won't take your work and money away from you.

Re: 'Nasty party bullying

Surely that is what I was saying! If your employer is asking you to do more than your job description says, they are breaking the rules of your contact of employment ( which everyone is entitled to have), but if you are doing the job and they criticize what you have done, then you have either done it wrong or you can ask them to explain what they mean.( if you lose your job because you have asked a reasonable question then you need to make enquiries about pursuing an unfair dismissal claim) Employment laws were fought for, by unions, to ensure employees were treated fairly, so if you weren't you should seek their help.

Re: 'Nasty party bullying

I didn't have either of those scenarios I had a screaming woman yelling at me daily no criticism of my work just yelling because she wanted to. She is doing the same to another employee at the moment her work is fine her time keeping fine, but that isn't stopping the abuse. Bullies don't need reasons to bully.

Re: 'Nasty party bullying

To go to a tribunal now costs a substantial amount of money, £1200 I think, not everyone has that to hand. Also not everyone knows their rights, this is where the unions do come in handy. I have lost count of the number of times that I have been asked to ring the union on behalf of someone else and they always get the same answer from me, "If you want their help, join up and pay your dues"!

Re: 'Nasty party bullying

If this screaming woman owns the company you work for then your only option is to seek another job, but if she doesn't then I suggest that you and the other lady write to the owner and explain that this woman's screaming is causing problems and she is not explaining why she is screaming at you, or maybe politely ask her the reason for her screaming.
