However, that’s not always true.

Not always.

Not true.

Nope.

There is a type of bullying called Workplace Bullying.

Workplace bullying can occur in

any company that you work for.

Bullying is repeated mistreatment of one or more persons by one or more perpetrators.

Workplace bullying is abusive conduct that is threatening, humiliating, or intimidates,

interferes with work and is verbally/emotionally abusive.

What are the possible signs of workplace bullying? This could include a boss or co-worker

repeatedly embarrassing or humiliating the victim,

making offensive comments about a person’s looks, clothing

or body parts,

or sabotaging the victim’s work to prevent them

from being able to do their job.

Workplace bullying can happen between a supervisor and his/her employee, a boss and his/her team

working under him/her, or between co-workers of the same rank. Being bullied at work can

feel similar to the experience of a person who is being abused by a partner, husband, or wife.

If you feel extremely stressed out at your work, and it is due in part to bullying at

work, consider contacting your Human Resources (HR) department to see if there is a policy

that covers workplace bullying or harassment.

Be sure to document all instances of bullying

that you have experienced and keep the documentation private and safe.

If you want legal help, please contact a lawyer to discuss legal avenues.

Workplace bullying creates a hostile work environment.
