In Asia, we assume that keeping quiet, despite being bullied is for the sake of harmony; being giving loads of hard work is for the sake of promotion. But little did we know, we can potentially be bullied.
Workplace bullying is not a talk-about topic in Asia, especially in Singapore. Let's start talking, shed some light and stop living in fear and suffering in silence.

Comment by Christine Wu on March 24, 2013 at 5:20pm The Asian culture puts such pressures on us to be our best regardless of conditions.
Kurou! dude- where ya been? Yeah...pressure from our culture is sometimes unbearable. Always striving to be the over achiever.
Jerviel- I cried when I watched your video. You speak from all of our hearts more than you know.
Comment by Kurou Masaki on March 24, 2013 at 5:03pm The Asian culture puts such pressures on us to be our best regardless of conditions. I say, we live in different times and if we don't stand up for what's right then we only have ourselves to blame. Fight the good fight, Jerviel. I support.

Comment by Jessica Thomas on March 19, 2013 at 2:36am Thank you for this Jerviel. I know that it is difficult to be growing up in a culture where silence is considered golden, but I am proud of you for your courage on speaking out about this matter.

Comment by GEN Y HUB on March 18, 2013 at 3:20pm Thank you for bringing up the subject, Jerviel. You are right in that the first step in stopping workplace bullying is acknowledgment of the problem. And sharing your feelings with a co-worker can add validation to what is perhaps a common problem amongst other employees.
