More than 25 million people have been bullied at work. According to Dr. Haber, it can be difficult for managers and leaders to deal with bullying in the workplace for a number of reasons. Many bosses bully their employees—through public humiliation, impossible assignments, and favoritism. They believe it increases productivity ~ and believes that bullying is normal behavior. Other bosses use subtle methods of bullying, like ignoring a targeted worker, changing the subject of a discussion when they walk in a room or leaving them out of office activities. Whatever type of bullying tactics are used, it produces stress, anger, resentment and lack of productivity. The dynamics of these situations are complicated and can ruin your work experience.

• May go unnoticed or be hidden from those who would act to stop it
• Witnesses may stay silent for fear of retribution
• Organizations may embrace a culture of bullying or choose not to deal with it

Bullying at work NEVER leads to good business.
