When You Work for a Bully: Assessing Your Options and Taking Action

Rating:
Summary: A "must read" for every employee and involved professionals
Review: I found this book very helpful - empowering, informative and compassionate. It is a comprehensive plan of action packed with ample practical advice, extensive listings of resources and bibliography. In her book, Susan Futterman points out and discusses multiple options and solutions (how to maintain healthcare coverage, how to plan and reallocate financial resources, how to apply for disability if need arises, how to pursue legal remedies, how to fight attempts of blacklisting etc) which can be easily overlooked by someone distressed by workplace bullying.

This book enables workers to remain in proactive control of their careers and lives, to overcome emotional, financial and professional damage caused by workplace bullying/mobbing and to successfully move on after such devastating experience. What a huge amount of time and effort it must've taken for the author to research all this information and to put it together. Thank you.

I wholeheartedly recommend this "anti-bullying guide" not only to those who already found themselves in a hostile workplace situation, but also to any employed individuals (workplace bullying remains widespread; often it's a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time - and it never hurts to be prepared) as well as to those in a position to assist people targeted by bullying - therapists, counselors, legal specialists, employment agents, arbitrators, HR professionals, and others supposed to handle such situations and to facilitate the process of "moving on" for their clients. Being "armed" with this information will make your help much more effective.

Review: This is an excellent book for helping an employee understand what bullying is and how to deal with it before it affects a persons health and well-being. Ms. Futterman's book outlines the options you have when confronted with a bully at work. I highly recommend it for anyone in the workplace who may be feeling undue stress brought on by bullying managers or co-workers.
