Re: [Emotional Abuse] Crotchety Coworkers

Hi, Are you still checking this email? I read your post and I am amazed at how
similar my
experiences are in the mental health field as well. They do not train you, do
not show
you how to do anything, then blame you for every mistake, berrate you, criticize
your
every move and mistake, blame you for other's mistakes, ridicule you in front of
others.
Classic abuse, yes. Illegal, yes too. People need to take them to court. They
are acting
wrongfully, illegally and the courts need to stop them. What else, consistently
talking to
you in an accusatory tone, critical tone, never giving support or positive
feedback, only
negative; telling you that they "hear" criticism but not telling you what or
specifics;
telling you that you are doing everything they ask(as you are) then, falsifying
performance papers making you look bad; insulting you, telling you you are
incompetent, not doing a good job, if you ask questions, they shun you, say they
have
no time, then blame you when you don't know something. They try to get you to
believe
lose all self respect, confidence and self worth, then they can more easily
control you, is
the idea. The worst is being new, they know they 'got you'. I read a book in
which all
the abuse is described and outlined in detail: they test you, then set you up
for abuse in
various ways, it is all planned.
God help us
