What Did I Just Walk Into?

In the first episode of Exposing Workplace Bullying, Dr. Jan Kircher—founder of Stop Bully Culture—shares how workplace bullying unfolded across two academic institutions and why common advice like “report the bully” or “trust the process” often fails inside systems built to protect authority.

Drawing from her experience as a social work professor and single mother, she examines how bullying is minimized, reframed as conflict, and allowed to continue—even when it causes serious harm.

This episode lays the foundation for the season ahead: recognizing bullying, understanding power dynamics, and learning how to respond strategically—not reactively.
