Below please find segment VII, dated 8-12-24, explaining the truth about why Toray Plastics America (TPA) sued me in December 2018 when they falsely claimed a common reader could identify TPA in my book, Successful Leaders Aren't Bullies, released September of 2018.  Colluding  and complicit Federal Judges delayed the case four (4) years beyond normal filing to hearing times.  And, despite stating the case was worthy of a fact find, refused to hear my case.   After fifty one (51) months, Toray dismissed the case, with prejudice, and paid my legal fees, basically acknowledging their lawsuit was frivolous. I signed nothing.  This allows me to share the truth about the case.  However, their injustice and intended damage was achieved.  The printing and distributing of "Successful Leaders Aren't Bullies" was stopped and iced after Toray threatened my publisher.  Again, it appears some US corporate / justice system  collaborations are rigged t...

"We need to start identifying triggers aggravating mental health in our society - like bullying, and we need to speak up about these to get to the problems' source." - Sanam Saeed "I'm still coping with my trauma, but coping by trying to find different ways to heal it rather than hide it." - Clemantine Wamariya #endbullying #BeTransparent #stepup #metoo #leadersarentbullies #metoomovement #healthyworkenvironments #happiness #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #psychologicalsafetyatworkact

"When there is debate, there are solutions. When there is no sharing of power, no rule of law, no accountability, there is abuse, corruption, subjugation and indignation." - Atifete Jahjaga "Why not touch things that we hate and turn them upside down and inside out?" - Alber Elbaz #endbullying #BeTransparent #stepup #metoo #leadersarentbullies #metoomovement   #healthyworkenvironments #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #psychologicalsafetyatworkact  

"To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, singular power of self-respect." - Joan Didion "Letting go helps us live in a more peaceful state of mind, & restores balance. It frees us from unnecessary stress." - Melody Beattie #endbullying #BeTransparent #metoo #leadersarentbullies #metoomovement   #healthyworkenvironments #stepup #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #psychologicalsafetyatworkact Expectations and stress are highly correlated. The bigger the gap between expectations & reality, the greater the stress. Employees who experience steady and predictable management behaviors and practices are less likely to consider themselves stressed or bullied at work.

  Below please find segment VI, dated 8-8-24, explaining the truth about why Toray Plastics America (TPA) sued me in December 2018 when they claimed a common reader could identify TPA in my book, Successful Leaders Aren't Bullies, released September of 2018.  TPA terminated me in September 2017 in retaliation for sharing my TPA shooting threat investigation with a Japanese Toray Expat who requested it.   The US Occupational Safety and Health Act  prohibits employers from retaliating against employees for exercising their rights under the act, such as raising a safety concern with their employer.  According to gun violence experts, soured workplace relationships, grievances in the workplace, or conflicts between its people cause workplace mass shootings. FBI records show that in 49% of workplace shooting cases, the most common trigger was interpersonal workplace difficulties   On a scale of one (1) to five (5) with five meaning excellent ...

"I believe the root of all evil is abuse of power." - Patricia Cornwell "Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil." - Plato "The lack of money is the root of all evil." - Mark Twain "There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root." - Henry David Thoreau #endbullying #betransparent #stepup #metoo #leadersarentbullies #metoomovement   #healthyworkenvironments #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #psychologicalsafetyatworkact  

"Solid communications are helpful rather than hurtful, they bind us together rather than drive us apart. They tend to build rather than belittle.“ - L. Lionel Kendrick "You're imperfect, and you're wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging." - Brene Brown #endbullying #betransparent #stepup #metoo   #leadersarentbullies #metoomovement #healthyworkenvironments #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #psychologicalsafetyatworkact Due to constant belittling, bullied employees don’t feel worthy of better treatment! This lack of self-worth is an effect of, and inadvertently serves, the bullying boss. Anniversary of a raccoon family getting drunk on fermented hummingbird food and partying on the back porch.
