I need to keep abreast of this issue in New York State and do what I can to help get this legislation passed. I am grateful I have not encountered bullying in my current workplace, but I have encountered it in the past. I wish I had known then what I am learning now from reading
The Bully at Work: What You Can Do to Stop the Hurt and Reclaim Your Dignity on the Job, a book I bought while dealing with a toxic workplace that actively protected bullies. I would have gotten out much, much sooner than I did.
