Get all the red marks


It was only on Tuesday that Ofira Asaig was caught scolding live in one of her letters that "the goat" did not go on air in time.

Asaig and Eyal Berkovich tried to get the reporter covering Hapoel Beer Sheva Itzik towards me, but were unsuccessful in the task.

"We'll just remind you that your main workplace is ONE," Asaig scolded Khalfi and along the way sparked a fresh media storm.

And if that's not enough, the "pipe" program recently published a serious case of workplace abuse that was in this case the military.

The program featured an officer who was severely abused by a commander that led to severe injuries to her mind and physical health and vision was defined as an IDF cripple. Nefshi Vashem discovered that four other officers were injured and needed emotional assistance "at the permanent institute" as a result of abuse by the same commander.

The apology came a day after,

Abuse in the workplace is also called bullying or abuse in the workplace and is prohibited under the name "Prohibition of abuse at work" according to a derivative of the "Basic Law of Human Dignity and Liberty" according to which every employee must be treated with respect.

The workplace is where most of us spend most of our waking hours so it is important that it be a pleasant and respectful place.

However, there are jobs and there are managers who behave in a bullying and abusive manner towards their employees and this can happen over an extended period of many years.

The workplace is our source of livelihood and we will not leave it so quickly so even in cases of unreasonableness in the workplace people seem to keep coming.

Employees, managers, and abusive managers can continue their bullying behavior because they know that the workplace is a valuable asset of the person who will not easily give it up. 

12 signs of workplace abuse and evidence of a toxic work environment

If you have read so far and you are curious and still not sure - check if you find yourself in the following signs.

Remember in order to detect abuse in the workplace the signs need to occur repeatedly.

1 "I do not know where the blow will come from: the story of intimidation" - Intimidation can manifest itself in various ways ranging from threats of dismissal or deterioration in terms of employment or any other failure.

The feeling created by the employee is of constant fear and tension against a concrete threat - such as dismissal or blocking the possibility of promotion or a general threat which is a general fear of an unpleasant confrontation with the person.

2 "Oh sorry did you say anything?" - I was just busy ignoring you: ignoring as a means of abuse and belittling "- Ignoring is expressed when you feel that those in charge of you do not see your efforts and achievements or for example that you talk and they ignore you and continue their occupation. Of man and his value and an attempt to take from him his powers.

3 "Separate and rule: It is easier to control a person who is alone - the story of social isolation" - Do you feel that you are out of social existence?

Out of the group?

Do those in charge of you isolate you from your colleagues?

Do they have "favorite" employees while you are marginalized?

4 "Good job but it's my idea! The story of taking credit" - Do you notice that your superiors or your colleagues take credit for a job you did?

Does this happen systematically?

Taking credit is a means of controlling and trying to displace a worker.

5 "Did you send the email I asked you for five minutes ago? The story of micro-management" - MicroManagement is a managerial approach attributed to managers who do not see their employees as able to perform independent work.

Therefore the manager will check on the employee in each action and task, and ask about each email and phone call.

This managerial approach conveys the message to employees that they are incapable and unreliable and in addition over time it undermines the confidence and self-worth of the employees.

6 Lies - Abusive principals will use many lies to avoid a sense of inferiority.

For example, when they made a mistake they would lie about it and tell a different story with other details that would suit them to paint themselves better.

7 "Lucky to have someone to blame: the story of the accusations" - Similar to the previous section, here too there will be a lot of use of the accusations and the imposition of a charge on you to shirk responsibility and admit mistakes.

8 "Bullying for its own sake - the use of violence on every issue" - a toxic work environment in which a toxic relationship between an employee and an employer takes place will be characterized by violence whether it is verbal violence - use of derogatory nicknames, derogatory names, abusive jokes including sexual Regarding the body or appearance or in general.

In the rare cases of physical violence there will be violence directed at the body or objects in the office or threats of handshakes and beatings.

Sexual violence in the workplace can manifest itself in any act in which one party forces a dialogue or sexual conduct on the other party.

When it comes to power relations (ie manager - employee) the prohibition is sharper since its essence is a derivative of the power of the strong side over the other.

Therefore any sexual remark, “compliment” on clothing or appearance especially when it occurs again and again, makes the work environment a toxic place that threatens the basic well-being of the employee.

9 "Always look at me - the story of invasion of privacy" - Human privacy is a right given to him and is part of the law of human dignity and liberty.

Behavior that invades the intimate space of the individual is considered an invasion of privacy and can take on a different face.

For example, phone calls during abnormal hours, rummaging through the phone, in personal correspondence, asking private questions about the life of the employee.

Even sitting too close to entering a person's intimate space, entering an office without knocking on the door and other acts that do not take into account the autonomy and privacy of the other.

This behavior can take several forms, ranging from the simplest form such as shouting, humiliation and threats, to more "sophisticated" ways in which abusive treatment can be practiced, such as giving degrading tasks, tasks that do not fit the employee's skills, over-criticism, meticulous behavior, false accusations, Harming his status, imposing tasks that do not coincide with working hours, ignoring the employee and his social isolation, and more.

10 "The missing puzzle - you are always told half things" - Another way of abusing the workplace is to tell you only some of the details, to let you see a certain part of the picture and not the big picture.

The reason a manager or colleague will do this is to concentrate their power on them and take it away from you.

11 "The body knows: deterioration in mental and physical health" - often our body is smarter than us, he perceives and understands how he is not ready to be treated and he signals the only way he knows - physical or mental symptoms.

Abuse, abuse and bullying over time affect the overall existence of the person and this can manifest itself in a feeling of stress, abdominal pain, outbreaks of autoimmune diseases and in general.

Stress can also adversely affect functioning in the workplace and also within the family, in relationships and social relationships.

12 "Have you heard of being gossiped about behind your back? Spreading gossip rumors" - If you work in a workplace where you or your colleagues are spreading new rumors for the mornings check out the other signs above.

This is because spreading rumors and gossip is another means of instilling fear and order in the workers.

Toxic managers will spread rumors about you and then come and tell you that they have heard that others are getting dirty behind your back.
