Group think - dangeous forms of employee assault

Everything on this planet faces some sort of trouble. Nothing is perfect. In life we have an opportunity to give of ourselves to help others. Or be selfish and self-centered driven by our fears of reprisal we can harm others.

We throw aside opportunities for friendship and camaraderie for vile, verbal reproach and we practice character assignation.

Recent events in life have shown great resolve and a true proof that group think is alive and well in the nursing field.

Stories have been written and heard about nurses going after nurses. Or nurses eat their young. Worse is the younger nurse targeting the older one.

Group think is vicious and mean.

Group think defined by Merriam Webster online: a pattern of thought characterized by self-deception, forced manufacture of consent, and conformity to group values and ethics

Group think has a rich history filled with burning women labeled as witches in Salem.

One person begins with hateful, nasty comments about another person. Criticizing how they talk, their tone, the way they word things. Then comes the comments about their stupidity or lower I.q. We label and categorize every thing.

When, is it all right to allow people to attack one another verbally or get a group together. To get one employee fired. Lets get rid of her or him.

The sentence; loss of income, loss of friendships, loss of opportunity, loss of career? How far does the group think go?

Truth hidden at every turn,. Lies and anger allowed to flow. Until blood is spilled. That is how the women were burned, and men crucified. Words written so long ago seem to fill the air.

Let ye who has not sinned cast the first stone.

This is why Jesus was crucified, not because of relations. Because they were afraid of him. Group think.

Desparate times can cause death

Tears can not ease the now suffering of those that surround you. You have within your power the opportunity to change how these people behave, and you do nothing.

Silence is how I lived inside silent until now.

You have unleashed a power in me that will be your unraveling.

Time for you to think of me as your worst nightmare. The one that you die in? No, the one where they all hate you, laugh at you, tease you endlessly. And you have to take it.

Bittersweet the tears she cries are for your sick souls that have nothing but hatred and lies in them. Filth begets filth. All your so called friends are liars and so are you. Hate yourselves for hating me.

Then know in your minds you have created what is to come. There is nothing greater than the wrath of those so angered by ignorance. To spill upon the ground my heart is what you have succeeded in doing.


Your first mistake was coming at me with threats. Your second mistake was coming at me.

John

Michael had known for years John was a town drunk. He knew him when they were kids. But the suicide note didn't tell him much. John was angry about something but what? Jean told Michael she wanted to leave John but couldn't because of the children. The usual case of he did her wrong and she still loved him no matter what. But why now, why kill himself. John's lifeless body holding the gun lay there. Michael just couldn't understand why.
The blood stained note all that was left from years of drunkenness. Years of sorrow. Jean was free now but was she really? John had no money, no life insurance, he left her nothing. What now, what kind of investigation when he was labeled the town drunk, maybe open and shut.
