Jack Russell terrier and pony races, and games for children. Winterthur is celebrated for its spectacular Parade of Carriages, initiated by the late George A. “Frolic” Weymouth. There
are stick horse races, ladies riding sidesaddle, pony races and a parade of River Hills foxhounds.
This year, like any other, racegoers will make plenty of new memories.

How to Box Out the Bully at Work
Bullying is about power, and can come either from a boss or a subordinate. Victims suffer the same experiences:
depression, anxiety, loss of confidence, health issues and even job loss. Discussing what is happening can feel shameful, even unsafe.
Here are warning signs:
• Yourauthorityiserodedbythebullygoingtoyournext-levelmanager, with decisions being made and then not communicated to you;
• Thebullystallsongettingworkdone,questioningyourjudgmentandhowthings
are supposed to work and why, despite multiple clear explanations and coaching; and
• Thebullycirculatesrumorsthatdisparageyourreputationandabilities.
If you are in a bullying situation, don’t think avoiding the problem will solve it. Take care of your mental health.
Document what is happening to keep factual clarity and be able to prove events that bullies often deny.
Show how the bully’s behavior is bad not only for you, but for the company. At Transition Strategies,
we provide independent legal advice on how best to present your narrative of events, preferably before you
speak with HR, and to fortify you to effectively confront the bully. Calling out the problem does not make you the problem.
