About this listen

Exposing Workplace Bullying pulls back the curtain on what really happens when abuse is allowed to thrive at work.

It’s rarely obvious. It’s layered, protected by silence, and often dismissed as conflict or personality differences. That’s what makes it so hard to recognize—and even harder to stop.

This podcast dives into the complexity of workplace bullying: the power plays, the cowardice of bystanders, the complicity of HR, the executives who turn a blind eye, and how it quietly damages careers, mental health, and entire organizations.

Hosted by Dr. Jan Kircher, founder of Stop Bully Culture, each episode offers unfiltered truth and practical insight—so you can:

  • Spot the systems that protect bullies (not just the bullies themselves),

  • Force accountability (whether you’re being bullied, a leader, or witness),

  • Take back your power—or use your power to change the culture.

Because bullying isn’t just a problem with one person. It’s a failure of leadership.
And it’s time to stop bully culture.

  • What Did I Just Walk Into?
    Aug 5 2025

    In this powerful first episode of Exposing Workplace Bullying, host Dr. Jan Kircher—founder of Stop Bully Culture—pulls back the curtain on the harsh realities of workplace abuse. Drawing from her own experience as a social work professor and single mother, Jan reveals how conventional advice like “report the bully” or “trust the process” often backfires, leaving people unprotected and alone.

    With staggering stats—30% of U.S. workers report being bullied, 61% of bullies are bosses, and 45% of victims suffer mental health impacts—she exposes how bullying is often legal, ignored, or even rewarded in U.S. workplaces.

    Jan shares the painful truth about institutional betrayal, the toll of long-term abuse, and the one moment when things finally began to shift. This episode is for anyone wondering, “Is this really happening?” or trying to survive a toxic work culture that won’t change.
