		<description>Your Topic: Managing workplace violence and robbery.

Well speaking from my experience in my workplace where a &#039;culture of blame exists&#039; and for approximately 2 years &#039;someone was stealing things&#039;. For example, money from the front office draw, Chocolate money from the fridge, a Gold watch from the top of the Kitchen Sink, Book order collection (the ones that people leave), food from the Kitchen etc. Anyway, How was this stealing managed, well it wasn&#039;t. I enquired into, &quot;How come the Police were not involved?&quot; I was quickly ignored and the reply was, &quot;No we will handle it&quot; Who do you tell if even the Area Manager does not listen? Who do you tell if the &#039;blaming and intimidation goes even higher into the State levels of HR?&quot; Who do you tell? Yes, i believe in a safe and healthy working environment - one that my Employer will protect me from physical violence and mental abuse (bullying and intimidation). Please note, these are my experiences i reserve the right for &#039;freedom of speech&#039; as i am telling the truth. Does this sound reasonable?</description>
