This book addresses workplace bullying from the perspective of an HR leader. Workplace bullying is a complex issue that primarily affects individuals, yet it has a detrimental impact on the entire organisation, creating a highly toxic environment. The nature of corporate work demands clear and effective communication, whereas bullying severely disrupts it. The resulting harm extends beyond human resources and negatively affects the organisation's financial performance. This book helps us better understand the experiences of those caught in workplace bullying and other dysfunctional behaviour. - Anna Makowska, President of the National Anti-Bullying Association

Working in HR departments is often perceived as an easy and pleasant job, frequently even the subject of jokes. In reality, HR professionals serve as a safety valve between employers and employees. In trying to satisfy both sides, they sometimes become victims of both. Such was the case for a woman named Lena. "Through the Blindfold" is a story of a dysfunctional organisation that could no longer be saved. It serves as a warning to all those who, gritting their teeth, remain trapped in toxic work environments. - Sylwia Pyzik, Magazyn Rekruter

Lena's story is powerful and holds the reader's attention from the first to the last page. The author exposes the brutal reality of many companies, where a lack of workplace culture, respect for employees, and toxic behaviour from managers are commonplace and normalised. Lena's story reflects the harsh truth that many employees must endure. "Through the Blindfold" is also a tale of strength, determination, and responsibility. Lena becomes a true warrior, whose attitude can inspire many - not only to survive but to stay true to themselves and refuse to turn a blind eye to dysfunctional workplace behaviour. - Iwona Bagińska-Michalewska, HR Next Association

This book has been written with great sensitivity and wisdom drawn from life experience. It addresses not only the important issue of workplace bullying but also the emotionally, interpersonally, and organisationally inflexible business environment, where individuals become mere tools for achieving corporate goals. This book serves as a guide for those who want to stand up for themselves and seek the truth. An inspiring read. Congratulations! - Hanna Hernas-Kłys, psychotherapist

Through the Blindfold is a powerful anatomy of mobbing. The reader enters a world of corporate games unfolding across multiple levels and planes. It is a story of inept management that lays the groundwork for, and then normalizes, workplace violence.A tale of both courage and fear, of hope laced with disappointment, Through the Blindfold also stands as a stark testimony to unimaginable suffering, loneliness, and helplessness in the face of a system where problems are not truly resolved but only 'massaged'. We are left with an unsettling impression that someone is deliberately toying with the protagonist who seems blindfolded, much like in a game of peekaboo. - Anna Krupa, Dobra Fundacja
