He had an exstensive criminal record prior to commencing employment with Q Health, in fact he had ben to prison for assult causing grevious bodily harm. I was just one off many who lost work or left due to his bullying and harasment, and HR was aware of it all, in fact i recall hiding under a desk at Eventide in the office to hide myself from him one day, I was afraid for life and safety of those around me, he threatened to hurt many of us and he was the one who was protected by management.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077668539151959728.post-71161377893662815572010-03-21T14:06:13.899-07:002010-03-21T14:06:13.899-07:00I would love to know!

The short answer is: THEY DON'T. THEY WON'T AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO. Did many in HRM know of my pending termination of employment? Of course. <br />Would I expect or did I receive natural justice or procedural fairness from any of them? NO.<br />Would I expect HRM to act ethically? NO.<br />Has there been an instance where HRM implemented the Code of Conduct? YES, USUALLY TO STIFLE THE PUBLIC INTEREST WHISTLEBLOWER. <br />I have made more than one Public Interest Disclosure to the CMC and have been present when another Whistleblower made her's. That serious report was given in September 2008 to Eventide management; the abuser remains at Eventide - the Whistleblower no longer does.<br />The rhetoric spoken by some of the decision makers in many Whistleblower cases is just that RHETORIC. From the very beginning of a report, damage control is implemented. Those who may believe the Whistleblower are soon advised that they should not be seen to be in any supportive.<br />I was present at many different meetings with HRM at Prince Charles - both as a QNU representative and as a person reporting wrongdoing. I cannot remember one time that I really felt anything but disgust at the way any of these meetings were conducted by HRM.SING (Silence is NOT Golden)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18298393310994391042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6077668539151959728.post-11306382438775787842010-03-20T02:17:13.506-07:002010-03-20T02:17:13.506-07:00I was bullied at Eventide by a staff member that h...I was bullied at Eventide by a staff member that had a criminal record.
