She was hired as an assistant professor of education which required her to teach classes, advise students, and oversee the senior education majors. But after a while, a new president of the college and then COVID-19 came changes. Covid stripped away any masks and exposed everyone for who they are at their core. This revealed the new president to be a champion of gaslighting, manipulation, and workplace bullying, leading to the resignation of several staff members, including Beth.Bend to My Will details her experiences with this workplace abuse and provides suggestions for both victims and human resources departments on how to deal with such behavior. It also delves into the different contexts outside of college and analyzes different workplace reports of abuse.
