Workplace Bullying

Hello scope, i am deaf in both ears with only 2-3% of hearing, i wear hearing aids all the time, but i lip read 100%. I had meningitis when i was a baby and it was hell going through infant to primary to secondary schools, i was bullied. i worked for a company who also had employees bully me, if anyone experience what i have been through, drop me a line, we can help each other, i have had loads of counselling but don't work, talking to people who have gone through the bullying knows what they have experienced. Thanks for your time. 

Hi Sam, i was paid money not to tell back in 2004, but why should I not open up to people who have been bullied in the workplace over their disability.I worked for this company for 14 years, then things changed, the chargehand and other workers were bullying me over my hearing, so i would say they were about 9 people against to 1 ( myself )  I had a great team of union people who put my case though the courts and yes, i won, it wasn't about the money. it was the principal of letting others know how the LAW stands in a  work whether you have a disability or not, my employers let me down, i no longer work for them, i have move since then. I am still coming to terms about what happened psychologically , can you imagine what i would be like trying to hold down a good job, as i am no longer working, i have no confidence, i have had the maximum counselling, doesn't work in my opinion, that is why i opened up to SCOPE.

Hi PippaScope, It has been a pleasure to share my experience, of being bullied in the workplace. however, the one thing that they did after paying me to keep my mouth shut, was they sacked me, 13 years working for a company that i done every overtime they threw at me, i even did 12 hour shifts for them. But what i didn't understand was, after they sacked me, they won an award for Investors in People, especially disabled people, i could not say a word, but what can i do ? 

I was not wary at the time why they paid me to keep my mouth shut, but looking back on what they achieved after i left, and would they do the same again to keep that award !! Karma works in mysterious ways, god help them !!
