Workplace Bullying: A Growing Epidemic

By Van Allen

This book is a technical aide for those who face corporate bullying, workplace bullying, and workplace aggression. Many victims of workplace bullying become violent. Some victims can suffer from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There’s enough information here to help people who feel like victims at work. There’s also enough information here to help company leaders begin to create the kind of workplace we don’t hear enough about: harmonious, synergistic, synchronistic well-run places to work, places where bullying isn’t tolerated, employees feel valued, and production results exceed goals. Guess what, these sorts of workplaces are not myths. They are real possibilities.

-Workplace Bullying: A Growing Epidemic

Van Allen

Van Allen Fiction by Screaming Weasel Productions is my latest work. I'm a former Captain in the US Marines who now writes thrillers and futuristic adventures, including stories with conspiracy theories, alien invasions, space wars, and of course the zombie apocalypse. In my 21-year military career, I developed expertise in both combat training early on and then criminal investigations later on. While in the Marines, I completed a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University and a Masters in Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Originally from Houston, Texas and currently residing in Frisco, Texas, I fancy myself a secret physics, statistics, and data nerd. I'm also known today for being a part-time tennis strategy and coaching genius...by my kids...sometimes.

The author of this series, Van Allen, currently works as a high-level director for a very large company.

I based this training series on my experience as a corporate trainer, speaker, consultant, EEO officer, HR professional, and Civil Rights department chief. I’ve given more than 100 presentations covering a wide variety of topics such as sexual harassment, workplace violence, pay discrimination, employee engagement, culture change, LGBT rights. I’ve even taught classes on desert survival and urban combat tactics. I have a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Texas A&M University and a Master’s in I/O Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I’m a retired US Marine Captain and so I have a PhD in combat tactics.

I’m a business outsider who understands people and production. I wouldn’t call myself a business wizard; rather I would call myself a people wizard. I try to translate between people and corporate systems and try to understand where the people part of business intersects with the machines of business to find the right balance between successful production and employee satisfaction. Yes, we can have both!

I wrote this series to serve as a trainer for employees or anyone who feels threatened at work and for business leaders, managers, lawyers, labor professionals, and other business professionals. Company trainers and leaders are encouraged to use the information here to create training slides, videos, lesson plans, and company policies.

There’s enough information here to help people who feel like victims at work. There’s also enough information here to help company leaders begin to create the kind of workplace we don’t hear enough about: harmonious, synergistic, synchronistic well-run places to work, places where bullying isn’t tolerated, employees feel valued, and production results exceed goals. Guess what, these sorts of workplaces are not myths. They are real possibilities.

Disclaimer: I’m not a professional writer, a purveyor of the rhetorical. I’m just sharing what I know and trying to help. I try to write in my own style…a little gritty, but mostly business casual, rarely bloviated. I know all the writing rules and I try not to worry about them. I don’t have a team of proofreaders and editors. Just me. Read this expecting to get some valid useful
