When Bullies Become Bosses

According to a recent study, more than 80 per cent of workplace bullies are bosses. Contrary to popular belief, bullies do not go after the weakest link, they tend to aim for the strongest. Bullies pick on capable, co-operative people they identify as a threat. Most victims do not realize they are being bullied because they aren't doing anything wrong and because a higher-up is doing it. Several recent cases show there are serious consequences for allowing the continuation of workplace bullying. With the judiciary system recognizing bullying as an offense, any employer can be in serious trouble if they turn a blind eye.
