What we learn about bullying from the government

I hate bullies, I really do.

I won’t let bullying happen in my home. I won’t allow it at work and I won’t even let my team sell fires to bullies.

We’ve all met those types of customers right. The ones who are rude, condescending. The customers who treat your team badly. Some are just difficult customers, but some try to use power and wealth to get want they want. They are bullies.

I believe that if we allow these customer bullies to go unchallenged, then they’re just going to bully to the next supplier.

And so when it happens, I engage and defend my team, and look to check the customer on how they are dealing with my team, without being a bully myself.

Ultimately we just won’t sell fires to bullies and we have a list of people we won’t deal with.

You see the problem is, if left unchallenged childhood bullies grow into adult bullies because nobody’s been prepared to stand up to them.

Which brings me to the topic of this podcast.

Bullying - What we learn about handling bullying from the government.

If you are unaware - over the last couple of weeks there have been two reported cases of bullying inside the two main political parties. Sam Uffindell, National MP, is facing claims of being a bully. And in Labour - Gaurav Sharma is accusing minsters inside his party of being bullies.

In this podcast I argue that when it comes to bullying we need to say 'We don't do that in our family,' or 'We don't do that here.' Nationals actions communicate that clearly, Labours do not.
