I worked for 20 years in the United States Navy, and for 22 years in
the civilian workforce, and I would like to tell you how I was
harassed in the workplace.
While in the United
States Navy I had so many jealous people try to take me out and take
me down. Thry ranged from the lowest-ranking Enlisted member of
Seaman Recruit to the highest ranking Officer which is an Admiral. In
every case their accusations were false. What I did was tell them if
they believe I am guilty of their accusations then bring me before a
Court-Martial (same as going to a Court for a trial in the civilian
world) and let’s see what happens. I also told them when the
Court-Martial finds me innocent of their accusations I will
counter-sue them for bringing a frivolous lawsuit against me. Guess
what? Never once did anyone bring charges or accusations against me
to a Court-Martial because they knew they were wrong and I was right.
During my time out
of the United States Navy I worked in the civilian workforce for 22
years both full-time and part-time. I worked for Government Civil
Service, I worked for the City of Oakland, California, I worked at
three church-related organizations, and then I worked at a
rehabilition facility.
In each of these
civilian jobs there were the same jealous people but instead of
wearing a Navy uniform they wore civilian clothing. They accused me
of everything you can think of. Go ahead and toss some accusations
out there and don’t spare your creativity as I am sure I was
accused of it. As I did when I was in the Navy I stood up to these
people and told them if they believe I am guilty of their accusations
then bring a lawsuit against me. I reminded them the entire burden of
proof is on them, the accusing party, to prove me guilty as I am
innocent until proven guilty. I dared them to bring a lawsuit against
me so that when I am cleared of their accusations I can counter-sue
them for bringing a frivolous lawsuit against me. Guess what? Never
once did anyone bring charges of accusaitons against me in a lawsuit
to bring it into court for a trial because they knew they were wrong
and I was right.
My point is simply
that I have stood up to the jealous accusations against me and in
every case these people backed down as their accusations aagainst me
were false. You need to do the same thing and never let anyone abuse
and threaten you. Not in the work place, not at school, and not in
your family.
