Prepping tomorrow nights roast chicken and letting it marinade in some spices for 24 hours then in the oven for 5.... Have to make the homemade stuffing TOMORO and hopefully it tastes like a store bought roast chicken.

Long post but hopefully some get something out of it.

I went through a really tough time professionally about five years ago. I'm employed at a large Local Government. My work colleague stuck by me after a group of floggers decided they wanted our positions and concocted a disgraceful campaign to unseat us, including making false claims that I'd made inappropriate advances to our female admin officer. When that failed, unrealistic work targets were set over an extended period and other underhanded stuff employed straight out of the bullying handbook. I objected one day and was threatened with physical violence. It wore me down mentally and I had nearly four months off work. It nearly wrecked my marriage.

My colleague and I fought really hard for justice and ultimately were rewarded with compensation via legal action but incredibly, the perpetrators remained in their jobs.

When I returned to work I was determined to assist others so they weren't subjected to this type of behaviour and felt powerless to act. Whilst I was already a long term Union member, I became a workplace delegate. I lobbied hard with our HR department and one by one the perpetrators of my battles were made accountable for their actions as of course, they continued to act in the same way, against other staff. When they started to eat themselves, one of the main perpetrators actually approached me for help. I did actually coordinate the appropriate level of support but he had a brain fade one afternoon and was caught on camera threatening someone with physical violence - as he'd done to me previously, so was sacked.

The manager concerned throughout this whole exercise did his very best to distance himself and in the end when it started to unravel, sold out the supervisors under him to save his own arse. He admitted to me one day in a lift that he'd got it wrong but said "it was easier to let them do what they were doing as it was only you and...so it came down to numbers". He then gave a smug smile and we got off the lift. As I've become more involved in higher level workplace reforms over the years including now working in a committee with the CEO, he has also called on me to assist him.

I was nominated last week as workplace delegate of the year (state award) in recognition of my work. The manager concerned in my battles has just been shuffled sideways into another directorate. I was determined to outlast him and assist my colleagues and I've now achieved both. That makes me feel good

[genuine honest person]

it ended well ,good on you for sticking it out and helping out your workers .I know the feeling well

sh*t yeah that's the stuff bomber. Fark them. I work for the gov to. I have have 9 managers in 7 years and 2 where complete WANKERS. Im still here and they are at centerlink. Karma man always comes around.

I had one boss come to me in the back car park when we clocked off and said some bullsh*t to me. A threat. No cameras out the back. He tried to make me feel small and said he would kick my teeth in. Maybe because I stand my ground when I know im 100% right as I know my job inside and out.

So yeah I showed him I don't take sh*t and gave him my 2 cents but he still want to go. COMPLETE WANKER!!!!.

He tried to get me saked over it.

He threten me again in the car park because I was still employed so I got my axe out of my boot and said your farked karnt. New manager 4 days later. Actually he works in qld now not sure if gov though. Still a wanker.

^^^ haha. Look, there's reasonable management action then straight out fkn bullying. The dick that really went after me did so because we were competing for a higher position at the time and I was more qualified. Unfortunately, a big employer can be a really horrible place sometimes.
