Around 1 in 6 employees experience mental health problems in the workplace.
Although anecdotal, bullying in the workplace has increased by 40% in the last decade.
Every day around 10 men commit suicide in the UK.
Struan works in an office of a building firm. A sensitive soul he is surrounded by toxic male builders, men that have worked in the building industry all their lives and view the world through men’s eyes and he hates it.
But he’s stuck in a life where he has to provide for his new family. At home is his new wife and new baby.
So he’s dealing with listening to misogynistic, homophobic and racist behaviour. He also deals with language from one particular person: his boss, John Perry, who is a bully. He bullies everyone in the office. He also picks his fights. He tries to align himself with certain people when it suits him.
As Struan is in charge of the accounts, and the fact that John has no idea about finances or what’s going on, he relies on Struan to keep him up to date with simple data. But at the same time he insults Struan at every opportunity.
