いじめについて話す
いじめをする人には、潜在的に何らかの不安感を持ち権力欲を誇示する傾向があります。いじめと聞くと学校を連想することが多く職場でのいじめは想像しがたいですが、人間同士が交流するあらゆる状況で起こりえます。
トムは、ジェーンに職場のいじめについて話しています。
トム: "Jane, I don’t feel like going to work today!"
ジェーン: "Why not, you will be fired if you don’t go to work"
トム: "My Manager is a pain, he criticizes everything I do, even when I do well he tries to find fault."
ジェーン: "He sounds like a bully, why don’t you try stand up to him?"
トム: "What, do you want to get me fired?"
ジェーン: "Not at all, as an employee you have rights; no one is allowed to bully you."
トム: "What do you suggest I do? He fires people who disagree with him"
ジェーン: "Report him to the boss; No one is above the law."
トム: "Thank you so much Jane, you have been of great help, I’m going to stand up for myself!"
あなたはいじめられたことがありますか？ トムは何をすべきだと思いますか？
