Did You Hear What Happened at Work?

Your boss, who is also the CEO, calls you a “f*cking f*g” in front of eight of your peers during the biggest presentation of your career. He laughs. Nobody speaks up. You’re humiliated. What do you do? Do you complain to HR? Document everything? Secretly record the next meeting? Get legal advice? Or expose the company on social media? In Episode 1 of Did You Hear What Happened at Work?, The Anti-Bullying Lawyer, Stefanie, barrister Jason and Tayla unpack listener Jordan’s story and the risks of speaking up, staying silent or taking matters into your own hands when your boss is the bully. If you have ever been bullied by a boss, watched a colleague being targeted or sat in a meeting thinking, “Surely they can’t get away with this”, you will want to hear this conversation. In this episode, we explore: • Workplace harassment, discrimination at work and LGBTQ+ employee experiences. • Homophobia disguised as office “banter”. • Reporting bullying to HR when the CEO is the problem. • Workplace witnesses, bystander silence and fear of retaliation. • How to document bullying and preserve evidence. • Secretly recording your boss or workplace meetings. • Naming and shaming employers on Google, Glassdoor and social media. • Work-related stress, mental health and toxic workplace culture. • Employee rights, Australian employment law and seeking legal advice.
