September 20, 2009
Question: What are the four key steps to taking back your life from a bully?
Answer: Listen to our interview with psychotherapist Dr. Ben Leichtling (pronounced Like-Ling). Dr. Leichtling wrote a book about how to take back your life from a bully, and consults with companies on how to eliminate bullying from the workplace.
Dr. Leichtling reveals in this interview his four key steps to breaking free of a bully. He also gives invaluable advice on how to deal with the mental and physical trauma that bullies inflict. This is one episode no one should miss.
Podcast #11: Interview With Dr. Leichtling
Dr. Leichtling was so generous with his time that we couldn’t fit all of his helpful insights and ideas into the podcast, but it was simply too good “to leave on the cutting room floor”.
So even more of this interview is available on the Members-Only Forum, which is just $1 for the first month (and no further obligation). You can join the Member Forum here: http://www.undercoverlawyer.com/academy/member_forum.html

Find even more helpful info from Dr. Leichtling at his site: http://www.bulliesbegone.com/
Let us know your thoughts on the interview, and what physical and mental effects, if any, you have felt as a result of a bully in your workplace.

When Your Bully Boss is Behind Closed Doors, Do You Want to Know What the Lawyers Are Telling Him?
July 21, 2009
In Episode #9 the Undercover Lawyer (Curt K.) reveals 10 things that bosses do to their employees that cause hostile work environment lawsuits. (Podcast Player below). Even defense lawyers get mad at bad bosses, because bad bosses cause lawsuits. This is explosive information that big business pays top dollar for; Curt himself regularly charges companies $1,000+ for “How Not to Get Sued” seminars that cover this same material! But now you get it for free, plus Curt’s explanation of how employees can use this information for their advantage.
In the Quick Tip Curt covers how the new Federal Bailout Program includes money that you get right now if you’ve lost your job. It’s the COBRA subsidy, which requires your employer to pay 65% of COBRA premiums, so that you pay only 35% of the premium to maintain health benefits after leaving a job. Before this you would had to have paid 100%. You can get more info here: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/faqs/faq_consumer_cobra.HTML
