I hadn't heard of this epidemic until last night. I have been on Medical leave since Labor day. I didn't know what happened to me. I was bullied by bad behavior that is against company policy. Yet, my employer condoned it. Said for me to wear earplugs if it bothered me. This went on for almost 15 months. If I don't return to work by Mar 10, I'll lose my job. Already lost my insurance and prescription coverage. I was denied my short-term disability because I filed one month prior to the anniversary date. (Wish I'd have timed my break-down better). My going to the Dr for anxiety made my claim pre-existing. (HaHa)

I work in a computer environment with 4 other people won't shut up. They wear the walkman headsets and scream at each other to be heard. They dance, sing, throw things to get each others attention instead of rising from their seat and going to them. They holler across the room, "who sing 'dat song?" or "who got battrys, mine dead" or "what ya'll ordered for supper".
They have a different supv than me, but we work in same room. I try to achieve personal best, care about what I do and work hard. I really don't care what they do with their time so long as they are quite. I've asked politely numerous times and they got worse. They don't want me back there with them. I had no choice. We work LONG 12 shifts. 7pm-7am

What do you do if your employer won't recognize this (and much more) as workplace harassment and allow it to go on at my expense?. When I return to work I'll be moved from my computer to a production line. They think that will solve the problem of my complaining, but why should I be moved? I did nothing wrong?

Up until last night, I thought it must be me who can't shake it off. Why can't I just ignore them and do my job? Why won't the 6-8 people I've asked for help, including plant nurse and HR, assist me? They think I'm a pain in the butt and when they see me coming to reinforce my concerns, they cringe or walk away. I've been made to believe it's
me being 'petty' or 'nit-picky'. This whole thing has caused my health to decline. Now I'm mad.

My plant has too many indians and not enough chiefs. I never thought to keep a diary. I filed a workers' comp claim yesterday for emotional stress. I claimed my employer ignored my safety by refusing to enforce their own written policies. Their lack of action gave my harassers a silent nod of consent that it is OK to continue with their behavior. For 6 months I've been seeking psychiatric therapy because I thought there was something wrong with me.

I am physically unable to return to work and stand at a machine. I'm at my wits end as what to do. If I were able to go back to work for just one weekend, my benefits would be reinstated. But how do I go back? This entire episode has left me with such anxiety that I have panic attacks. I am so very depressed. What have THEY done to ME? What recourse do I have? Is it a battle I want to persue? Do I have the stamina? My answer is "no".

I've been going through this type of treatment for five years and I now I am at my wits end and I am having anxiety attacks, depression, and headaches as of result of this. My daughter has just recently gotten out of the hospital so trying to deal with her illness and trying to cope with this festering disease of bullying in the workplace has taken its toll on me. I don't know what to do and I feel as if know one will listen or care. How and when will the world wake up and see that this is a real nightmare? and that this type of behavior really affects the victim!
