The Man

Painful to watch but sadly not inaccurate. I was keen to get to the end of it not just because it wasn't nice to watch but also in the hope that the the perpetrators got their comeuppance.

If you take nothing else from this, remember in the world of business you are only as good as your last deal.

A shy introvert is bullied at his work by his colleagues when he tried to secure to a contract with a major company. He is a line manager with a great future ahead of him but not if his jelly co-workers have anything to do it. The first episode is great and we are left just waiting for him to snap which is what the next episode will be about for sure. Can't wait!!

I do love this show need more episodes. I loved the acting the drama the show makes you think out real life scenarios

I cant say i enjoyed this first episode, but it was entertaining, i found his angst and bewilderment excruciating, and felt really sorry for him. I can see where the next episode is heading, and am sure many viewers can identify with this kind of behaviour in the workplace. Fair enough this is extreme for drama purposes but not -so far unbelievable.

I'm not a fan of ITV at all and almost gave this a miss.

I thought it was very well written, extremely well acted and thought provoking.

I'm a mental health crisis nurse and I see victims of this often, sadly.

I cried at various points at the sheer lack of empathy or feeling for a fellow human being. I'm a male and not ashamed to say that.

I class the bullies as having a psychopathic disorder or are just plain bad. There is no excuse however.

Unfortunately many of these people with these traits make it to the top of business and government.

As I say to my patients, NO job is worth that.

If anyone is reading this who is enduring that type of situation, TALK to someone about it, not a friend or family member necessarily but a professional.

With the lack of service provision many churches now have coffee shop drop ins and it's not about religion but sensible people who will listen and signpost.

Due to all the cuts to services a GP counselling appointment is weeks in the waiting but at least get the ball rolling.

Do not suffer alone.

The CAB are very good, as are ACAS. This highlighted to me the absolute importance of being kind, for example when he went to the GP reception, we just never know how much stress any one is under at any given time.

We'll done to all involved in this.
