Psycological Harassment

Has anyone out there ever been harassed by your boss? Well I have and it got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore. Let's put it this way, I was constantly brought into meetings and belittled by my boss almost on a weekly basis that it got to the point where I wanted to walk out. The last straw was when one of my colleagues was yelled at from my boss even after she had her face covered with her hands and was sobbing to the point where I thought she was going to faint. Her face was red and covered in tears and here was my boss in her face yelling at her. In my mind I said to myself " I need to leave this place". And I almost did. After that incident I told my boss that I was planning to leave and he advised me to stay on board because the company had hired new management personnel and I was to report to them instead of him. Well the changes were made for the first few months yet in the last few weeks things seemed to have returned to the old ways. You see I was suffering from chest pains related to stress and almost suffered anxiety attacks, where every time I would here a noise when it was quiet, my heart would skip a beat. I think you all know that feeling. I was given a doctors note from my doctor to work two days from home and this note was submitted to my employer yet they said that they were to get back to me and would work things out with me. After three doctors notes were submitted from August to October my employer made the decision to fire me based on the fact that the working environment wasn't suitable to my health issues. I was very surprised and disappointed and told them that based on the law that they have no right to fire me because I had a doctors note. I was told that it was just a recommendation. I have reached a point that I am fed up with working for someone else and am pursuing to work for myself. My wife who I love dearly also is faced with problems at her work place and I hope and pray that somehow, someway we both just work for ourselves. It's a crazy corporate world out there where people don't give a damn about your well being and only think that money is the answer to their problems. Well you know what, I agree we all need to make a living and my goal is to earn my own money, yet the most important things in my life is my family and my health, money is a material element we obviously all need, yet it should not be the first priority in your life. Don't get me wrong, I am all for making lots of money but I don't feel like it should be the dominant outlook in your life. My boss would often say that cash is king and I would reply by telling him that MY HEALTH IS KING.

I feel the the frustrations you are going through, but trust that God will do the right thing .He will provide for you and your family. . Pray, and do not be afraid to ask him for guidance... as you know you are already blessed with a wonderful family.
