Office abuse caught on tape

submitted by pumkinandstorm

1 decade 1 year 6 months 1 week ago

(youtube) I had just started an internship and noticed my supervisor constantly bullying my co-worker in the workplace. The abuse were often physical. I confronted him about his behavior, but I felt his explanation was insincere. I fear that his appalling behavior would continue should I not be around to witness it.

There is no justification for hitting someone!

Edit to Clarify:
The supervisor was also constantly yelling at my co-worker for minor mistakes.
The hitting and yelling stopped when I confronted him but this kind of behavior has most likely been going on even before I joined, and will again continue after I leave.
When I confronted him, he brought me to a meeting room and his "explanation" he told me a lot of BS like "do not judge a book by its cover, there is a story behind it". He said that my colleague apparently has an inferiority complex and apparently my supervisor is trying to "nurture" him to get over it. I felt this was stupid, as how can you nurture someone by hitting them?

The abuse seemed to get worse over time during my first 3 days, on the 3rd day I quickly decided to start recording with my phone when the supervisor started to yell again at my coworker.

I have reported this to HR , and I will write to the Ministry of Manpower on Monday.
However my co-worker is very timid and seems like the kind of guy that will not stand up for himself.

Im not sure I believe this is real, but less believable things have proven me wrong in the past. What country is this from?

Considering the complaint to the "Ministry of Manpower", I would guess Singapore.
On the other hand, it could be three guys in L.A.
Who knows.

I had a Chinese supervisor who was a recent immigrant once. I don't think you can make any suppositions about Chinese people on the whole from two anecdotes, but I certainly found him extremely abusive (though not physically) and the behavior seemed perfectly natural to him, as though he was just doing the job as it was expected.

Also, if you look to places like Foxconn where bullied workers are committing suicide a pattern becomes pretty clear.

I believe this is totally real and just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
