Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. Feeling misunderstood and unheard when voicing WHS issues in the workplace. I wrote this poem many years ago, after resigning from a workplace position. Naive and eager to serve, I faced workplace politics and felt misunderstood. Despite raising concerns about bullying and harassment, I was met with mistrust and a dismissive response from management.
The poem reflects my decision to leave, feeling unheard, overpowered and unsupported, and emphasizes the need for workers' and volunteers' help around workplace bullying. Should I have reacted differently? Should I have fought longer?
Some good came out of the confrontation. About 6 months later, the organisation eventually put WHS policies in place, which was the issue I originally raised. Enjoy.
You can read my poems on Simply Story Poetry on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and LinkedIn and simplystorypoetry.com. Thank you for listening.
