MOBBING, which we encounter in almost every part of our daily life, although many of us are familiar with it as a word, do not know much about its content. In fact, it is a concept that is not very foreign to us, that makes people feel bad, and can be explained as “the whole of the bad behavior of the strong against the weak and the oppressor against the oppressed.”
Man is not a robot. He is a being with feelings. In order to be physically and psychologically healthy, successful and happy, morale and motivation must be high. This is not only about the person himself, but also about the approach and behavior of the environment to the person. If mobbing is practiced top-down or top-down covertly or openly, it does not matter whether it is a public institution, private sector, foundation or association, it is unlikely that the institutions or departments you work in will be successful. Because the diseased structure called mobbing covers the entire institution, like the wave effect of the stone we throw into the sea, even if it starts from a single person. If he does not want to come to work, his feet are back, he feels that his effort and dedication are not worth it, there is no success here, there is no peace.

The victim starts to develop some defense strategies against the abuser. He thinks he needs to protect himself somehow. The first thing that comes to mind is to take sick leave, to come to work late or not to show up. The frequency of applying to the doctor increases, and as a result of absenteeism, the order of the working environment and the quality of productivity deteriorate.

These types always have a desire to be strong; they may go to the act of throwing mud at someone else in order to hide their feelings of fear and insecurity. They are in search of a victim to cover up their own faults. Expose someone else's fault When they remove it, they think that they are hiding their dark sides or by doing so they do not face or ignore their own shortcomings.
In addition, these types have sadistic personalities. They take pleasure in tormenting others, they are generally hardworking people. They describe everything they do with praise and exaggeration. They belittle the work done by others and constantly talk about the abundance and difficulty of the work they do. People with sick minds like these are destroying another's life.
“They drive the person crazy and get them on the roof, and then they gather people saying, 'Mad checkers are out'”. How simple for some it is to play with someone else's life! Sometimes, people who are mobbed can commit suicide by not being able to handle the events they have experienced. The main goal here is not to die, but to find a way out of their bad situation, to find an escape.
There is a saying in psychology; “Real patients never come to us, only what real patients make sick”. This is a statement that I have observed from the cases I encounter in daily life and that I believe to be true. Don't be a burden on anyone in this short life, don't be a tear in your eyes. Because nobody's life is easy.
I wish you healthy and peaceful days.
