The term βsupportβ can be a cover for a multitude of toxicities in a rancid workplace.
Regulatory bodies need to dig, not pat.
No one should be starved wilfully by others who hold the food.
Itβs vile beyond evil.
There is very simply no point in directing staff to defunct policies.
Itβs just trite to witter on about policies if they have already been proven to fail and harm.
Fix things.
Then advise staff.
There is nothing normal about starving fellow humans wilfully,
in a calculated act of horror.
Normalise this and there is a darkness descending of global consequence.
