From “Dangerous Personalities” Joe Navarro
“I had a boss who was verbally abusive to everyone below him. He screamed and yelled at me and just about everyone else. After he lashed out at me a couple of times, I learned my lesson. So every time he came to my office or called me into his office, I made sure I had my personal journal with me. As soon as he started yelling, I would begin to write. Soon he stopped, because he knew I was writing down what he said and how he said it. I learned that for some people, writing down their words and actions can often change their behavior or prevent further harassment…..A written journal will always trump someone’s memory in any court or a formal proceeding. The last thing an attorney on the opposing side wants to see is a spouse, worker, or businessperson who dutifully wrote down all the details.” #adultbullying #bullyingatwork #bullying #bullyingawareness #bullyingprevention
