Dear Good People

Have you ever heard what is Workplace Bullying?? 

Workplace bullying is a persistent pattern of mistreatment from others in the workplace that causes either physical or emotional harm. It can include such tactics as verbal, nonverbal, psychological, physical abuse and humiliation. 

This type of workplace aggression is particularly difficult because, unlike the typical school bully, workplace bullies often operate within the established rules and policies of their organization and their society. In the majority of cases, bullying in the workplace is reported as having been done by someone who has authority over the victim. However, bullies can also be peers, and occasionally subordinates.

According to Bassman, common abusive workplace behaviours are:

  1. Disrespecting and devaluing the individual, often through disrespectful and devaluing language or verbal abuse
  2. Overwork and devaluation of personal life (particularly salaried workers who are not compensated)
  3. Harassment through micromanagement of tasks and time
  4. Over evaluation and manipulating information (for example concentration on negative characteristics and failures, setting up subordinate for failure).
  5. Managing by threat and intimidation
  6. Stealing credit and taking unfair advantage
  7. Preventing access to opportunities
  8. Downgrading an employee's capabilities to justify downsizing
  9. Impulsive destructive behaviour

According to Hoel and Cooper, common abusive workplace behaviours are:

  1. Ignoring opinions and views
  2. Withholding information in order to affect the target's performance
  3. Exposing the target to an unmanageable workload
  4. Giving tasks with unreasonable or impossible targets or deadlines
  5. Ordering the target to do work below competence
  6. Ignoring or presenting hostility when the target approaches
  7. Humiliation or ridicule in connection with work
  8. Excessive monitoring of a target's work (see micromanagement)
  9. Spreading gossip
  10. Insulting or making offensive remarks about the target's person (i.e. habits and background), attitudes, or private life
  11. Removing or replacing key areas of responsibility with more trivial or unpleasant tasks.

In addition, co-workers who witness workplace bullying can also have negative effects, such as fear, stress, and emotional exhaustion. Those who witness repetitive workplace abuse often choose to leave the place of employment where the abuse took place. Workplace bullying can also hinder the organizational dynamics such as group cohesion, peer communication.

There's two types of Workplace Bullying that occurring in this case :

1. Pressure bullying or unwitting bullying — having to work to unrealistic time scales or inadequate resources.Giving tasks with unreasonable or impossible targets or deadlines

2. Corporate bullying — where an employer abuses an employee with impunity, knowing the law is weak and the job market is soft. Over evaluation and manipulating information (for example concentration on negative characteristics and failures, setting up subordinate for failure).

And this is what happened to Curator teams. Start 1st August 2020, there's 2 more aquarist started resigning and even the senior aquarist who have 18 years experience cancelled his 2nd phase work contract that been signed since June 2020. Totally there's 6 person have to left their job for last 4 months. This is another serious case that needs to be investigated.

To date, though, the hotel operator (Geneva & Bali) has not responded. Even, they blocked our email and our phone. They refusing to be contacted. Let's be the voice of humanity not only for Bali but also for the world to control this global pandemic.

Hand in hand, we fight together against not only Human Right Violations during Covid-19 Global Pandemic but also Workplace Bullying. One minutes from all of you, mean a lot for us.
