BBW: Taming the workplace bully
Monday, November 26th, 2012
Taming the Workplace Bully, By Adam Piore, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, November 21, 2012
It started during the training sessions for her new job. Elizabeth Santeramo, a cancer information specialist in New York, saw a woman across the room glance in her direction, whisper in the ear of a co-worker, and then snort derisively. The episode seemed so brazenly immature, as if plucked directly from Mean Girls, that Santeramo shrugged it off. “The work we were doing was to help people who were just diagnosed with cancer,” she says. “We’re all empathic, compassionate people, I told myself. I’m just being paranoid.” A few days later, the abusive snickering intensified.

AJC: 3-Essay Forum about Fulton County GA Workplace Bullying Policy
Friday, November 16th, 2012
Workplace Bullies: Back Off! by Rick Badie, Atlanta Journal Constitution editor, Nov. 15, 2012
Last week, Fulton County banned bullying in the workplace, making it a firable offense. The director of a workplace institute praises Commissioner Bill Edwards, who proposed the rules for addressing the harm bullying inflicts on victims and the work environment. While a criminal justice professor applauds anti-bullying policies’ intent, he says they aren’t an instant answer. And another professor suggests that Georgia adopt legislation geared to deter bullying.

Orlando Sentinel: Workplace bullying is all too real, victims say
Tuesday, October 30th, 2012
By Greg Dawson, Orlando Sentinel, Oct 30, 2012
Laura Dunavent’s voice still quavers when she recalls the darkest chapter of her life.
“I didn’t know what was happening to me. All I knew is it that it made me crazy.”
It wasn’t until after Dunavent, a registered ER nurse, quit her job as a case manager for an Orlando insurance carrier — “so I wouldn’t go out of my mind” — that she discovered a name for the emotional torture she says she experienced at work.
Bullying.

Law Prof David Yamada – Healthy Workplace Bill author
Wednesday, July 11th, 2012
Another video produced by the Massachusetts Healthy Workplace Advocates. Suffolk Law Prof. David Yamada, author of the HWB as introduced in all states, describes the movement to pass the bill (in 2012, the bills are H 2310 and S 916) into law. The legislative session ends in July. Visit the MA State page at the national website to write letters to House and Senate members imploring them to pass the bill on the House and Senate floors.
Prof. Yamada’s affiliation with WBI began shortly after the birth of the movement. In 2000, he published the seminal legal article defining workplace bullying for the legal profession (Georgetown Law Journal). In 2001, he wrote the first version of the Healthy Workplace Bill that we then convinced lawmakers in California to introduce in 2003, the first of 21 states.
Since then, Prof Yamada has written extensively about the necessity of creating laws that benefit humans. He is part of the movement within the legal education community called “therapeutic jurisprudence.” A listing of his published papers available for free download from the SSRN website can be found here. He also writes a marvelous blog titled “Minding the Workplace.”

Fox Business — Bully Adults in the Workplace: What to Do
Tuesday, February 21st, 2012
Barbara Mannino
Fox Business News
Feb 17, 2012
Adults who thought their days of dealing with bullies were left behind on the schoolyard better think again.
A 2011 CareerBuilder study shows that 27% of U.S. workers have felt bullied in the workplace with the majority not confronting or reporting the bully.
Workplace bullying is defined as repeated mistreatment of an individual employee by a person or group that takes the form of verbal abuse, behavior that is humiliating, threatening, intimidating or sabotages the targeted person’s work, according to the Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI).
