Interesting to consider that those surveyed have identified the source of their stress, and wonder how bullied workers who have NOT identified the source of their symptoms would compare!

A 29% prevalence of individuals contemplating suicide is alarming, as is the 41% who identify with acts of violence directed toward others. 

I would guess that most of the targets didn’t just FEEL betrayed by co-workers…they actually have been. Feelings frequently have a basis in fact. I also suspect that their distrust of institutions is well-founded. Of course, my opinions are based on my own experience, which amounts to nothing my ex-health care employer felt a need to concern itself with in any way that was helpful to me.
