Popis: This chapter focuses on the configuration of emotional workplace abuse in organizational cultures from the perspective of the target. Drawing on a feminist phenomenological and trauma-informed methodology, the chapter shows how being the target of workplace abuse is a totalizing experience. Furthermore, this chapter addresses the intensified and accumulated effects of abuse on the target, and shows the different coping strategies that the targets adopted to endure the situation. In conclusion, the chapter brings forth the ways in which targets attempted to end the abuse, and discusses the harmful effects for organizations where an abusive culture is allowed to persist.
