In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This is so true. Employers: Don’t take this information lightly. Keep in mind people don’t quit their jobs, they quit people.
-
Ironically, the ones who are targeted are the most talented.
-
Being bullied at work is absolutely terrible. I've experienced it, and I had to leave my job to protect myself mentally and physically.
-
Psychopaths do have feelings. Envy, rage and jealousy!
-
I'm going through this right now... it's the most horrific thing... but it's all done subtly with a smile.... like gaslight ing. ..
-
Sadly enough, this man is right. The bullies and sociopaths rise to the top, and those who promote them are too weak to see it
-
How many "natural deaths" are caused by people being harassed and bullied at work? My guy died of a heart attack, and he had been having daily panic and anxiety attacks BECAUSE of people he worked with. He wasn't shot, or poisoned, or beat up. He was killed by words. He was born with disabilities which made it difficult for him to walk, he was short, and he was an amazing soul that loved and forgave. The people responsible will never realize what they have done because they simply don't care who they hurt or how their behavior affects the world around them.

Ted should talk about the unwillingness to train new employees. This is a serious issue that needs to actually be discussed
-
The lecturer made an excellent point, bullies are very political and have excellent social connections, they use these connections to destroy people they envy or find vulnerable.
-
These people are toxic. It just takes one to infect the entire office
-
So glad people are finally acknowledging this is a thing.
-
Bullies crush your passion and motivation for the work that you do. They’re toxic on so many levels and are often pathetic excuses for human beings.

That`s a reason why I quit a marketing job. I was bullied, undermined and ignored. I was suffering in silence. Depressed. Crying everyday. Now, working in medical field. Its amazing. Great team and energy. I found a purpose in my life.
-
This is one of the reasons why people get sick from work: burnt out and PTSD
-
I have quit my last 2 jobs as a result of bullying... This is a very real thing in the workplace. Very hard to get away from, and such a huge effect on your mental health. It takes time to heal.
-
This was an excellent presentation of corporate bullying and explains why so many employees who were working from home in the lockdown did not want to go back to the workplace.
-
Psychopaths are rewarded, make the most pay, and are promoted. That's what business wants. It's corrupt, and we live in an utterly corrupt society at the moment. Just the way it is. Until the decent people demand better, we will never be treated better.
-
I've been through this a few times and unfortunately my resume has suffered as a result with short work histories. I'm amazed how grown adults are allowed to act like children in the workplace. it definitely helps to have a strong ally so you would be left alone. otherwise defend yourself and you will soon be packing. also they resent you if you're not of their fans.
-
I'm mentally and spiritually scarred from working in Corporate America. My personality and personal values have never matched with that culture.
-
I am unemployed right now because I left a toxic workplace with a bullying boss.
