abuse in the US workplace is (generally) not openly visible in ways you expect
and yet, sexual abuse is still extremely prevalent in all industries
US companies can impose a MASSIVE chilling effect just by having your healthcare tied to your employment
mental abuse can be subtle (a form of psychological warfare) with something as simple as “we’re like a family here” or “you wouldn’t want to let down the team, would you?”
the first episode of Zom 100 gave a really good example of how far the mental abuse can escalate – between overwork, lack of sleep, verbal abuse, bad diet, you no longer have time to step back and think, you become completely dependent on someone else telling you what to do, you no longer have the strength of will to even contemplate saying “No”
