"Have you ever been bullied at your job?

If your answer to this question is yes, then you are definitely not alone.

I was bullied, belittled and verbally abused by my co-workers, some of whom even came from my own culture. I felt so disrespected and hurt. I cried every day after I returned from work.

My nerves were on edge all day. I spoke to my boss on many occasions, but there were no steps taken to try to fix the situation or to stop the bullying towards me.

Needless to say, I resigned from that position because it was affecting my health, my self-confidence, and self-worth. I was unemployed after that, but now I am free of those bullies. This may be a common issue and may be many other students who suffer from the same thing.

I just want to shout out that LOVE YOURSELF FIRST, SO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DESERVE. Life will find its way, so be brave, stand up and get rid of the unfairness and rudeness.
