¿Core-values?

 Bullying levels at school are just a reflection of bullying levels in that society as a whole. Bullying doesn’t originate at school. It originates in the family, the neighbourhood and, most significantly here, the workplace. HK, you really have a serious problem with some of your “core-values”.

Presenting my case

I am going to try to explain in the most exhaustive way that I can how a culture of bullying and slandering was nurtured and developed at the Department of Linguistics and Modern Languages and how the management of CUHK, in spite of having enough evidences of it, tried repeatedly and stubbornly to hide it and deny any knowledge about the shameful behaviour instituted there as normal practice for a long time (I could say that until the complaint of a Danish/German teacher and my own complaint made it impossible to keep denying the wrongdoing). I don’t know the exact number of language lecturers affected, and not all cases should be equalled without paying attention to individual details, but since what I went through seemed to be a well instituted practice I guess that quite a good number of people passing through that place in those years were affected.

For a proper legislation against bullying and slandering in Hong Kong

 There are good people and bad people everywhere. Sure. But in places such as Hong Kong, for instance, the bad people gets benefited by toxic core values and unfair, , more than opaque and questionable labor (de-)regulations and practices. As a consequence, sociopaths, bullies and sadistic managers thrive in such working environments. One of the Golden Rules of dealing with sociopathic individuals at the office gets confirmed again and again: in toxic working environments, psychopaths stay and normal people leave... After a while, these deleterious practices trickle down to all aspects of society: home, the school, the streets. The poison is there, obviously, but the root is seldom pointed at. No harmonious society can exist for long under such circumstances, unless "harmony" is imposed by coercion, punishment and censorship. For a proper legislation against bullying and slandering in Hong Kong, now!

My reasons to start this blog

 I decided to start this blog because through the passing of the years I have felt appalled and astonished by the level of acceptance and the wide extension of bullying practices in the working atmosphere of Hong Kong. I suffered a mild, but nevertheless of grave consequences in my professional career years after, case of bullying and moving from three Spanish ladies at the School of Modern Languages of HKU in 2006/07, and a few years later I came to experience how the internal mechanisms of some institutions in this city protect and give impunity to bullies, manipulators and slanderers:  I was a lecturer at the Department of Linguistics and Modern Languages of CUHK when the following happened. I supported the accusations of bullying against the supervisor of my Department from a workmate that even needed psychological support to cope with the bullying. As a result of my reporting, the Head of my department (Linguistics and Modern Languages- 2013) vilified me and accused me of...
