Max Alvarez: A DEADLY, Silent Epidemic of Workplace Abuse is Growing | Breaking Points

Sometimes bullying leads to workplace shootings. Also I've never seen a coworker be bullied into being a more productive worker, it is always the opposite until they quit. Or they hide mistakes that may trigger the bully, leading to low quality products/projects.

According to US labor laws: hostile work environment = making a trivial joke that could be considered offensive not a hostile work environment = manager that breaths down your neck and yells at you and threatens to fire you for not reaching difficult quotas

Getting Max on Breaking Points was a phenomenal decision. These segments are so moving!

Great job covering this topic Max. This is something not thought about often and needs to be magnified into public conscience.

In my nearly fifty years in the workforce, I have experienced or seen some of the worst kinds of bullying, intimidation, humiliation and disrespect towards workers from higher ups. I’ve consistently found that if you speak out or go to HR, you are considered a problem (not the higher up who is committing the abuse or who is ignoring blatant abuse by one employee towards another).

Brilliant piece for real. We all know someone who was "fired" in the sense that they were made so unhappy they left on their own.

I love the Breaking Points done this on Sundays. Awesome truth tellers of the highest order.

I loved this discussion about the work place. I work for the government and it is so common place to be bullied and mistreated by management and staff alike. The culture needs to change and this discussion is a great way to start that process.

This piece is INCREDIBLE. This is what I want in media. Bravo
