The Upward Bully is a raw and deeply personal account of workplace bullying from the perspective rarely spoken about: the leader being targeted by subordinates. Through painful experiences, emotional betrayal, and institutional silence, Julie Comer-Crook shares her journey of navigating toxic workplace culture, manipulation, false accusations, and the devastating impact of upward bullying on mental health, confidence, and identity.

Set within a high-pressure professional environment, this powerful memoir exposes the hidden realities many leaders face behind closed doors. Honest, courageous, and emotionally gripping, this book offers validation, hope, and strength to anyone who has suffered workplace bullying or felt abandoned by the very systems meant to protect them. It is a story of resilience, survival, and reclaiming one's voice.
