The whole process was dragged out and false allegations were made against me! It turns out that I ('The Victim').... am now seen and treated as the perpetrator!!!<br /><br />There is so much 'gate-keeping' and lies around bullying, harassment and discrimination, that the truth cannot come up for air... <br /><br />The individuals 'in power' within the organisation(s) do not want to actually admit that this bad behaviour is consistently going on within their organisation and, no one person wants to be the one to 'press the button' to start the fair process going!!<br /><br />It has got to the point where one has to think that they ('The Powers That Be') actually endorse this kind of behaviour themselves!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080901.post-31132238432057097842014-02-02T22:40:18.012+00:002014-02-02T22:40:18.012+00:00In my department, after my department head was bul...In my department, after my department head was bullied out of his job, the new department head, previously a part-time lecturer, set her sites on ridding the department of all six Jewish staff, including me.

While I was teaching, one of my colleagues became assistant department head soon after I started my job. He had taken a disliking to me from the very beginning and, once he was on a position of authority, used it to torment me.<br /><br />At the same time, while he was there, most of the people that were hired in our department just happened to be his buddies. It came as no surprise to me that after I quit, my position was filled by one of them. That continued until he retired.<br /><br />To this day, I have no idea why he hated me.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28080901.post-7009107205442687492014-01-16T19:50:22.651+00:002014-01-16T19:50:22.651+00:00What about professors who bully students?
