Reflection-Why Do Workplaces Protect Bullies

from Mind Wonders Hosted by Priscilla Sombe

In this episode of MindWonders, we’re pulling back the curtain on a question too many people ask in silence: Why do some workplaces protect the bully and ignore the ones being hurt? Even when multiple people report the same individual, even when the harm is clear—leadership often stays quiet. The bully is defended, while the ones suffering are left to question their sanity, their safety, and their worth. Today, I speak not just from research—but from lived experience. If you’ve ever been gaslit, sidelined, or broken down by someone at work while everyone else looked away—this conversation is for you. Let’s stop normalizing toxic behavior and start reclaiming power. Let’s talk about what really happens behind “professionalism.” Let’s talk about healing out loud. #MindWondersPodcast #WorkplaceBullying #ToxicWorkplaces #PsychologicalSafety #ReclaimYourPower #SpeakUpAtWork #InvisibleButNotImagined #LeadershipMatters #StopProtectingBullies #WorkplaceHealing #MentalHealthAtWork
