Bullying at Avaya nearly ki-led me, I won't let it destroy you.
I know how it feels to:
- Wake up every morning with a knot in your stomach.
- Dread the day ahead.
- Have panic attacks on the way to work.
- Be humiliated.
- Get passive-aggressive emails.
- Be harassed and treated like I was disposable.
- Sit in my office with my back against the door, frozen in fear.
- Be told I wasn't good enough despite working myself to the bone.
- Have my mental health used against me and be mocked and ridiculed for not being "tough enough" to handle the toxic environment that was breaking me.
- Plaster on a fake smile and pretend everything's fine.
- Question my own sanity and wonder if I was overreacting or if the abuse is real.
- Have health problems because of all of the above.
But let me tell you what I wish I was told at the time.
You are not alone or deserving of this treatment. There is a way out. From your pain, you'll find your purpose.
