‘It affected my mental health’: Woman quits full-time marketing job in S’pore after 2 months  After her supervisor quit, she was left to do almost everything by herself.

Employees' mental health is most affected by bullying rather than a heavy workload at the workplace. At my previous office, bullying was honed into a fine art through systematic and persistent personal attacks, ostracism, hostile interactions, aggressive communication, manipulation of work, and acts aimed at degrading subordinates. Morale was severely affected by an unhealthy power imbalance between the boss and his targets. This resulted in psychological consequences for affected workers and their colleagues, costing significant loss of productivity and affecting the company’s bottom line. The tragedy is that my previous employer encouraged the bullying since the department head used it to strategically rid the workplace of older employees, so as to avoid any legal obligation to pay compensation claims and shaking investor confidence that a cost-cutting retrenchment exercise could trigger. As such, subordinates often feel helpless and therefore, unlikely to expose the bullying boss.
