Saturday, December 31st, 2011

Acknowledgment of its existence and preventability necessarily precedes corrective action. Our momentum accelerated in 2011, all thanks to new staff, new consultants and new State Coordinators who expanded our repertoire. What a year! Here’s the year-end review.

WBI response to J. Harper’s spurious claim of “anti-bully hysteria”
Friday, December 16th, 2011
A Dec. 15 post on the Huffington Post by bullied-out-of-her-career Janice Harper caught the attention of those of us operating at “ground zero” of the workplace bullying movement. Attacks on the movement are analogous to attacks on the originators and chief spokespersons — that’s us. Space to comment on other sites is too limited. So, I use our own platform to respond point-by-point on behalf of millions of bullied individuals. Her piece was provocatively titled: “Top Ten Reasons to Rethink Anti-Bully Hysteria.”

How to Deal With the Workplace Bully
Tuesday, November 8th, 2011
by Frank Kalman, Talent Management, Nov. 8, 2011
About a third of the U.S. workforce has fallen victim to workplace bullying. Learning to mitigate the problem means creating a more open work environment and crafting a stern anti-bullying policy.
The image of the schoolyard bully is heavily ingrained in our culture. Name a television show centered on American youth within the last half century, and it’s more than likely that at least one episode will be dedicated to the smaller, scrawnier kid doing his very best to avoid — or in some instances, defeat — the intimidating figure.

New Turkey Button from WBI
Tuesday, October 25th, 2011
WBI design guru, Dave Phillips, created this lovely Thanksgiving-themed graphic.
It reminds us all that bullies erode profits and prevent balanced budgets because of their meddling. Their misconduct leads to avoidable:
- turnover of the wrong people (the skilled and threatening (to the bullies) ones),
- absenteeism for mental health days,
- presenteeism by the resentful,
- increased healthcare utilization,
- skyrocketing workers comp and disability insurance claims, and
- litigation expenses (defense and settlement costs).
Available as a button or magnet.
Illegitimi non carborundum, Latin for Don’t Let the Turkeys Get You Down (well, close enough)

Face Off: how to beat the office bully
Thursday, August 4th, 2011
August 5th, 2011, Management Line, The Sydney Morning Herald
Every workplace has them, but it’s hard to deal with bullies at work because more often than not, they are in positions of power.
It may be the boss, or someone who has been there for a long time and who are just part of the system.
My mate, consultant Rowan Manahan says bullying has become worse in a tough economy because everyone is under more pressure.

Horrible Bosses: When your boss is a bully
Monday, July 11th, 2011
Sometimes, a bad boss crosses the line into downright abusive behavior. Even in states where bullying isn’t illegal, there are ways to protect your sanity.
By Anne Fisher, contributor, July 8, 2011: 10:30 AM ET
FORTUNE — Dear Annie: A friend of mine sent me your column about five ways to cope with an autocratic boss, but I’m facing a problem with my immediate supervisor that is actually quite a bit worse. Since I started this job about two months ago (it’s my first “real” job out of college), my boss has become a nightmare. He constantly snipes at everything I do, makes sarcastic remarks, and about once a week has a totally out-of-control screaming fit where he calls me, and a couple of my coworkers, names I don’t even want to repeat.

Washington County native and his wife go after it with online effort
By Janice Crompton, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Thursday, April 21, 2011
When Tom Shannon accepted a job 15 years ago, he expected to raise his family and retire after a long, satisfying career.
But instead, the 51-year-old information technology specialist from Butler County found himself confronted with what he describes as an alcoholic, abusive supervisor who, he said, eventually drove him from his job — and nearly out of his mind.
