Screw the Hierarchy

How targets of workplace abuse found energy and healing in public action

Episode Summary

On the one year anniversary of the suicide of Evan Seyfried, the nearly 20-year exemplary Kroger employee who two supervisors and Kroger itself allegedly psychologically abused to death, advocates from across the country took to their State House and courthouse steps to demand an end to workplace abuse and mobbing. In Ohio where Evan worked, California, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and Wyoming, advocates came together on March 9, 2022, in a collective voice to say they've had enough. But what emerged for so many advocates was an unexpected outcome: progress with healing. In this episode, protest organizers reveal what it felt like to use the power of their voices and connection.
