Speaking out against workplace abuse can involve risk: risk of losing one's job, of losing future opportunities, and of losing relationships with those who benefit from the status quo. It can also involve finding your voice again, inspiring others to do the same, and taking your power back by sharing YOUR side of the story and your insights as to why workplace abuse is an epidemic.
On June 22, 38 advocates signed up to verbally testify in front of the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development.
In this episode, I share highlights of their stories to inspire you to join the national movement to say our dignity at work matters. Visit http://www.DignityAtWorkAct.org to get involved.
If you've been abused at work and would like to share your story anonymously, email info@dignitytogether.org.
If you feel like you need more help, I have a free guide to recovery steps at http://www.dignitytogether.org/targets and a signup for daily boosts through your inbox at the same place.
