Journaling has become a very popular activity for many people in many settings. Much of the reason for its popularity is that it gives helpful opportunities for exploring our thoughts and feelings about important issues that affect us.

Knowing this, it begs the question: Why hasn’t anything been done? It turns out, when the perpetrator in question is also in charge of signing your check, confronting a workplace bully becomes more difficult. Click here to read more
