Bullying in the Workplace
The workplace should be an environment where people are encouraged and are able to grow in their careers. Sadly, some individuals are held back or forced to endure unfair situations while at their jobs and may not be able to enjoy the benefits of their careers. Although these situations often arise from an employer or manager, even peers or members of unrelated departments can become workplace bullies. Anyone that has been the victim of bullying at their job may be able to take legal action against the guilty party.

- Excessive criticism of the employee
- Purposefully embarrassing the employee by spreading rumors or falsifying their work
