I offered the issue to my doctor, saying, “Perhaps one day you’ll have a patient complaining of stomach problems because of mobbing.” He said, “Not perhaps. I have a patient like that right now!” He promised to read the articles.

Since I don’t have my own apartment, I am forced to live with my sister and endure her verbal abuse. It has driven me to despondency. However, this issue of Awake! was just for me! Jehovah has truly comforted me.

Reformed Boss For five years I worked for a mild, compassionate man. Then the company was sold, and a new boss was put in charge. I became his verbal punching bag. Humiliation, insults, and lies were my daily lot. I was very depressed and stressed out. Then I received the May 8, 2004, issue with the series “Victimized at Work—What Can You Do?” I left a copy on my desk where he could see it and read it if he wanted to. He did. Since then his behavior has changed remarkably. He no longer harasses me. He even says that I have made progress in my work. What a relief! (surat pembaca 8 April 2005)

Victimized at Work I was deeply touched by the series “Victimized at Work—What Can You Do?” (May, 8, 2004) I have personally experienced everything it described. I suffered religious discrimination at the hospital where I worked, and it affected my emotional and spiritual health. I am happy to know that I am not the only one who has had this very unpleasant experience.
