The Bully in the Workplace

by Dr. Haber

Employees suffering from bullying at the hands of their bosses or co-workers have been getting some new attention of late.

Bullying is all about power. It happens when a boss or employee (the bully) targets a single worker (the victim) and uses behavior that has the intention to hurt or undermine him/her.

Bullying appears in lots of obvious or insidious ways. Physical bullying, like taking office possessions or loading up on impossible tasks may not be as painful as verbal bullying – yelling, public insults or demeaning comments – but still has a negative impact.

Workplace Bullying Case

Dr. Haber receives hundreds of personal communications every year about workplace bullying.

Hello: My name is S. and I have been cyberbullied by my former program manager for the past 5 years. In 2009, I was forced to resign or be fired. At the time, I was going through some major difficulties. Although I was a very strong and assertive individual, this individual took advantage of my situation in the most humiliating way. Before I chose to resign, I found another job and had to sign an indemnity agreement.

Ten months later, this program manager continued to target me through emails because I was still in the same field but not in his corporation. I tried to get this behavior to stop but I was not successful. I had no other choice but to take this to a lawyer and took action against all parties that were involved. The unfortunate thing was that it emotionally and financially took a huge toll on me and I had no choice but to drop the case.

Six months after dropping the case, this same program manager emailed me again and started bullying me with the same intimidating comments. This made me feel sick. Since then I have informed my immediate supervisor of this matter. I am trying to meet with him to get this to stop.

The bullying is making it difficult for me to professionally involve myself with the organization I loved. I laid out my concerns and sent my supervisor an email with these concerns. Because I don't feel safe emailing my new supervisor, I wanted to meet with him in person to see if he could help me stop this former colleague from the taunting and intimidating behavior towards me.

This ordeal has left me feeling bad. I am on medication as a result of this whole ordeal and just returned back to work after being off for 8 weeks. This ordeal was a very big part of my life and consumed me for years. I don't know what to do, but I do know that I can't continue to work if this supervisor’s unhealthy need to control and over-power me continues under his supervision.

Thank-you for listening....SG

Bullying At Work

More than 25 million people have been bullied at work.

Many bosses bully their employees—through public humiliation, impossible assignments, and favoritism. 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.
