Case Study 1: M.Ali – “I quitted my job at the hotel, where I worked for 7 years, because of mobbing. I have been feared to loose my job and I had to bear everything. However, sometimes the mobber is too close to the boss. And even the other managers, who need to protect you (this can even be the human resources manager), do not want to get involved. When I am contemplating all of these, I conclude that the boss likes it this way. The only thing I understand from this, the person who exposed mobbing to me wastes 10-15 people every year since he is in the senior position and place his men around him. This guy has no quality whatsoever, he doesn't increase the sales or provide training. He never supports you but he holds his position." …show more content…
The senior management involved in mobbing process, hence, Hande's motivation declined and she was fired by using low performance as the excuse. The mobbing that Hande was exposed to is hierarchical, in other words, vertical mobbing. In this vertical mobbing, the mobber and mobbers used many methods. They attacked her professional capability by giving too much work or not giving any work. They excluded her by not talking to her, humiliated her or communicated maliciously with her. Since mid-level manager were involved in the mobbing, we can assert that it was a type of "mass mobbing". It is contemplated that the mobbers have narcissistic personality traits. These persons felt uncomfortable by the presence of a successful subordinate and they strive to intimidate her. In fact, they are using the low performance as an excuse since Hande's performance was decreased because of mobbing. When we contemplate the personal characteristics of Hande, we find out that she is neither submissive nor silent when encountered an injustice. However, Hande thinks that she could not defend sufficiently her rights since she was lacking experience. We think that Hande is at the stage of obsession in thoughts, which is the second stage of mobbing effects. The greatest impact on this process is that the stress that Hande has suffered and the fact that she could not forget what she experienced and she has regrets because of inexperience. Unfortunately, she found out about her legal rights too late that she could not overcome the mobbing. Hande thinks it was due to the loss of motivation and lack of
This means that any bullying or harassment by managers needs to be avoided and detected early. Managers should know and should be trained not to bully or encourage bullying or harassment in the workplace. Furthermore, managers should be on the lookout for this behavior at all times. When a worker feels as if he or she is being bullied or harassed, especially by a manager or supervisor, their work, motivation, and productivity will be reduced. Employees may still show up to work each day, but they won't feel as motivated or empowered to do such a good job as

Organized stalking is a very well know reality occurring to an untold amount of people a crossed the United States. Our U.S Government and intelligence agencies are fully aware of this.

Typically, managers feel they are entitled to a larger share of the money as a result of the abuse of power. In many ways managers can overuse their power; personally I’ve been discriminated and humiliated by managers and even medical professionals, been reminded of “you are so lucky to have a job like this, been an immigrant” or “everybody in Cuba can easily be a professional and here you are coming to the US and taking our jobs”. I felt constantly treated as a second class employee when in fact my job was actually a big part of the organization just like everyone else. I was never once verbally regarded when I accomplished something but treated in a condescending manner or even intimidated if I forgot to do something. I was obligated to take “my vacations” whenever the doctor was out of the office and not when I wanted to. I purposely excluded from events and meetings that had a lot to do with my line of work. My manager used to come to the office in the
In history, humans have influenced ways to abuse each other in hateful ways. Because of hate, all miserable things that happen to people relates to mob mentality.

Mob violence during the 1910-1930s was an important social force driving blacks from certain areas of the South. Looking back at research, “Using county-level data for ten southern states, including a new inventory of southern lynchings, we find support for the model during two decades, 1910-1920 and 1920-1930” (Tolnay and Beck). With the start of the southern lynchings, blacks were running away from these lynching counties. Because of this, these people were called blacks.
In the moral dilemma of “The magistrate and the threatening mob”, rioters have decided to take matters into their own hands and threaten a certain part of their community. Unless the magistrate brings forth someone for the crime that has taken place to upset the rioters. Therefore, the magistrate decided to blame the crime on an innocent man and have him tried and executed to ease the rioters’ behaviors.
Many parents rear their children in treating others in the way they want to be treated, such as kind, caring, and respected. Consequently, like their parents, these children are passive toward the negative behavior, which are the bullies’ main victim prospect. Torturing others is no longer the American way of life, which is the constitution fourteenth amendment; therefore jobs and institutions need to be accountable in respecting the rights of others. Consequently, we need a behavioral management change, which calls for the CEO’s attention in reinforcing their policy toward bosses who neglect it and punishing them for it, as well as their followers. The employees who follow the policy need to be awarded. It would reinforce the bullies to want to change their behavior. The bystanders need to get involved as well by supporting the victims in the bullies
Me and my class recently learned about Mob Mentality. In the stories we read there were many examples of this and the consequences of it. There are many consequences to mob mentality. One example is in "Monsters Are Due On Maple Street." The people all follow the crowd and up resorting to violence instead of using their own reasoning. Another example is in "The Salem Witch Trials." Where one person thought up the myth of witches then soon everyone believed witches were among them. But, there is also "wisdom of the crowd."

In this story there are examples of the good of mob mentality, such as safety in numbers, and how usually, the

Mob mentality occurs when individuals in a mob or group act in ways counter to their usual behavior. A person's rational thinking clicks off, which causes a group to become violent. In the teleplay “The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street” written by Rod Serling, the article “When Good People Do Bad Things” written by Ann Trafton, and the article “Why Do People Follow The Crowd?” reported by ABCNews.com, these three sources discuss about an ongoing phenomenon that gets individuals to think differently when they are in a group then if they were alone.
