I am also involved in a workplace bullying matter, although my thoughts are with Chris as his experience sounds so much worse.
There is no doubt bullying is a problem in our industry, in my case with a broadcaster that my wife and I worked for overseas.
The best thing I ever did was call it out and report the bully, which I did. That action cost me my senior role in the business, but it was either call it out or continue watching it happen to good people. Eventually I became the target.
After reading the story from Chris, I've re-affirmed speaking out was the right thing to do. If I were 20 years younger and 100% dependent on the role for my future I would probably have put up with it, hoping someone else did something.
I'm happy to be back home in Australia, unfortunately at the expense of being able to fulfil my dream role in broadcasting.
My thoughts are with Chris.
