How nothing shows companies are 1800’s English workhouses than young talent being burned out and senior talent being told you “had a good run”.
(AKA. How to translate toxicity / AKA: Rob is proper pissed this morning)

Working for a company does not mean a company owns you. Especially when you’re no longer at the company. And yet so many are trying to add clauses to job contracts that do exactly that. We own you but we don’t have to pay you. It’s corporate bullying and it’s on them, not you.
This week Corporate Gaslighting recieved a letter from someone who dares not leave their toxic job because the only option is a sideways move and they fear they’ll look like they’ve failed to others on LinkedIn.
We told them two things.
The first is “there’s more fiction there than a library.” The second is the image attached.
It’s worth remembering if someone is systematically undermining your confidence, it’s abuse. Moving sideways isn’t standing still, it’s rising up.

Tonight we talk at the Conduct Change Workplace Conference about the systematic destruction of confidence. Whether in companies or countries.

Anyone losing their job is sad. Seeing a company take responsibility for it & be more generous because of it - rather than basically blackmailing & gaslighting - is a positive thing to see. And rare.

The problem with people who think they are King is that they think everyone is there for their enjoyment. They're wrong. But they will only know it if we stand up against it. You're not alone. We're here to help. theytriedtokillmebuti.live/p…
Corporate gaslighting is when your value and confidence is slowly undermined by managers who want you to feel you are the problem rather than them. This is abuse pure and simple. You are not alone. We’re here to help: tinyurl.com/5678msbc
Today we report a story that explains while the pandemic of COVID has been raging, the other pandemic - sexual harassment in the workplace - has been allowed to flourish, even when working at home. tinyurl.com/2yv6yph6
When they say “our staff are our greatest asset” ... they whisper, “as long as they do what we say whenever we say it”

We naively thought twitter was toxic because of what people said on it. We recently discovered it’s also toxic for what people DON’T say on it - specifically certain senior members of the ad industry who turn a convenient blind eye when one of their mates spouts racist judgement.

I’ve generally had amazing bosses. Brilliant, creative, supportive individuals, bursting with integrity & belief. And even when I would be getting a bollocking for something, I never doubted they cared and wanted me to win. But I’ve also had some bosses who were less amazing.
Who didn’t like questions. Didn’t like independent thought. Actively demanded you follow their words rather than your own curiosity. Where success was judged by complicity rather than creativity. Which is why, at 50, I now realise there’s two sorts of manager in the world.
Those who want you to be better than you imagined and those who use you to feel better about themselves. If you have the former, hold on to them with both hands. If you have the latter, follow Adele’s advice.

Trying to balance working from home with dealing with the challenges of everyday life is having a huge impact on our mental health.
Some of us recognise it, many don’t - which is why I’m so proud of my friend Sarah, who has set up HIVE.

We have the honour of being part of this as a representative of Corporate Gaslighting. If you are a company or an individual who wants to be better equipped with dealing with the issues of work place bullying, this will hopefully be very useful to you. shoutout.wix.com/so/77NL729D…
In November, there's a conference about dealing with workplace bullying. There's over 30 speakers, including us, & it will give practical advice on how to deal with it, how to stop it & the legal options available to those experiencing it. conductchange.co.uk/conferen…
