Bullying

Almost wthout exception people agree that workplace bullying is unacceptable but they find it difficult to draw the line between justifiable criticism fairly made and bullying. Complainants often describe their manager humiliating them repeatedly in the workplace and in front of work colleagues; making negative comments over projects completed when other managers have offered praise; haranguing them only when they are on their own; reprimanding them when they have done something they believe the manager told them to do and then vehemently denying they ever told them to do it that way. Complainants report feeling utterly dispirited, anxious, uncertain, unable to sleep and unable to function effectively in their daily lives.
