How to make a complaint for Mobbing in Germany?
Hello everyone, I am a medical doctor working in Germany. I am on my way to my new working place, but i got a lot of bullies on the last one and as my boss has a long history of mobbing / few people have left already the department - 2 doctors and 3 nurses / - i want to make a complaint. She absolutely deserves it. I would really appreciate if anyone could give me any advice how exactly to do it. I have no doubts that i want to make the complaint, the thing is that i dont know how to do it. And more important - how to do it in such a way that to get a result at the end. Cos this woman has done it to many people and continues to bully some of my very dear colleagues, but as they have not found another job yet, they are quite scared about complaining. Every practical advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you very much in advance

So, just so that I understand you right, the women is your boss and she is mobbing you? Jeez, that is diffcult, because, seriously, you can't do anything! Which sucks, alot, in my opinion, you have pretty much 2 opitions... 1) talk to her, maybe she doesn't really realize, what she is doing.. there are people out there that really don't notice.. but of course, always be polite and nice 2) try to find another job, as well as your collegues. try to not be affected when she is mobbing you, that will probably please her, maybe if you just ignore her mobbing, maybe she stoppes, 'cause nobody is affected by it anymore... those are only maybes, since I am really not sure, what exactly you can do about it, since she is your boss.

Depends. Is she your boss boss boss? Or just your boss, and there are people over her? If so, than there's a slight chance you can do something, but... Have you told her that what she is doing is affecting you like that, and that you find it hurtfull, bothersome, depressing? Have any of the collegues who have the same problem done so? Ever? If not, I would ask all of your colleagues to get together with you and ask the boss for a talk, and than tell her how all of you feel. Maybe that will turn a knob with her. Tell her that if she continues with that behaviour, you will all complain to her boss about the way she is treating you. Focus on how her behaviour towards you makes you bad at your job, makes you preoccupied when all your attention should be on patients, make sure she, and if that talk doesn't help, her boss knows that what she does to you makes her or him stand in a bad light. Usually that is the road that gets things done, but... If you are doing this alone, chances for success I'd say are very slim. You are on your way out there, but the others who are still there maybe can't leave, or are too afraid to leave because of the economic situation right now. So if you want to stir something up, make sure you are not just steering it up and than let everyone else stand in murky water while you just walk out. Get everony who is affected in it. Alone you will be overheard.

bad economic situation? it is indeed, but do u have an idea what a shortage for doctors they have in germany? yes, i talked to her 2 times, i also showed a lot of respect to her, so she would have noticed i didnt have anything personal against her. but she went on and on... she is just the boss of my department, but she is a neighbour with the director of the hospital and sleeps with the director-to-be in 1 yr. which i would have thought have given her wings to do what she's doing. my colleagues would not dear to complain. one of them has done so already, but nothing happened. he has a family and children and lives very near to the hospital, his wife is a teacher and works near here, so moving somewhere else is therefore very complicated. its not cos he cant find job, but cos with a family and when u have already bought a house - it is really difficult. this woman has done it so many times and with so many other people. everyone knows it. she does it to the nurses too, but as most of them live on 5-10km from here, they r all afraid not to lose their job and therefore put up with all she does. which is the reason i asked - how can i do it right /the mobbing complaint/ so she gets finally punished? i am moving to western germany /thank god!!/ so am absolutely happy, she might have done me a favour... but tobe honest am really sad about some of the people i worked with - they were fantastic and the work with the nurses was really a good team-work. it was only this silly woman who made the whole mess...

Just go to the Betriebsrat (workers council) and complain. There should be one. By the way, why do you reply to your own question? There is a thing called "add details".
