Being bullied at work because of menopausal symptoms is shocking but sadly all too common. This topic hit the news headlines recently. A tribunal awarded one lady £20,000 after being unfairly dismissed from her job following harassment from her male employer, with comments such as she ‘must be on her menopause’.
I too was unfairly dismissed from my corporate job 6 years ago and this kind of bullying has been going on for years. I remember being asked ‘whether I was on my period’ – unbelievable, isn’t it?
As a result, 49% women consider taking early retirement and 9% actually have disciplinary action taken against them because of their symptoms.
Can you relate to this? Do let me know.
