Even HR gets bullied!
Don't be surprised, there's no one above this maltreatment…
Hello Buddy,
I heard a gambler stole $231k in cash from his company to fund his gambling lifestyle. That’s over ₦230 million!
Sadly, the company had to shut down, this also left his fellow employees jobless. Seriously, how do these things even happen?

THE BIG IDEA
They Might Say It’s Not True
Would anyone believe you if you mention HR gets bullied by employees and it's not always the other way round?
A whole ‘HR’, Almighty ‘HR’…aren't HR's humans like everyone else?
You've probably seen the bullying trend in boarding schools, but what people forget is: Bullying is beyond a school setting, bullying also exists in our work spaces.
And it's usually the responsibility of HR to tackle these issues, but what happens when HR is the person getting bullied?
Don't believe me? Let me share some surprising statistics:
82% of the HR professionals who participated in an online survey stated they have been bullied or harassed in the workplace
A third of them were bullied by an employee who they were involved in an HR issue with.
A staggering 48% of those who responded said they were being bullied or harassed by their immediate line manager.
Of those who have experienced being bullied or harassed, 83% experienced this verbally in person. The rest were either bullied or harassed over the phone, by email or had rumours spread about them to another colleague.
I could go on and on and you may find your mouth open at the end, so I'll pause here. You can have a look.
What's the solution? Although there's never a one-size-fits-all answer to topics like these, I saw an article that highlighted superb solutions.
Even though you're not the HR who's getting bullied, please be kind and share with someone who needs this.

STORY OF THE WEEK
The Job I Ordered vs What I Got
5 Nigerians shared their disappointment with once-exciting jobs…
Ibukunoluwa:
Immediately I walked into that office in Lekki for an interview, I told God, “I want this.” I didn’t know that it would be a very horrible period. The CEO was in the UK and left her brother in charge. This guy was very mean, bad, inconsiderate, and proud. This guy once sprayed air freshener on me and my friend because…
Akin:
Before I got this job, I remember how I prayed for it; it was like I was begging God not to let me die. After I finished the first stage of the interview, it took a long time before I got the invite for a second stage. During that time, I was always refreshing my mail a hundred times daily. I would even check all the social media pages of the company to see the latest updates and I knew I might just fall into depression if I didn’t get the job. I got the job sha, only for me to resign the following month. What I was running from at my previous job was what I met there…
