Some people think that only minors can be abused. Young people and adults are also being abused especially in the workplace.
Most people keep quiet about it because most times the abuse is perpetrated by a boss or superior.
The subject of the abuse is oftentimes innocent and pure and is shamed into keeping quiet because he or she feels embarrassed or because she doesn't want to tell on her boss.
But abuse especially if not reported and dealt with can have a negative impact on an individuals feeling of self worth and self esteem. Abuse can be detrimental to the health of the victim.
Steps to take;
Report the abuse to an authority who has the power to deal with the perpetrator usually a human resources manager.
If not dealt with because of a connivance between the HR and the perpetrator, bypass the HR department and report straight to the MD. The matter should be taken up from there.
Also confide in a trusted friend or counsellor outside the office.
Remember, your state of mind, health and general well being is instrumental to your growth, productivity and personal success.
Abuse is a breach of relationship and moral contract.
