Mother Nature Network: 1 in 3 Workers Victim of Workplace Bullying

Friday, March 8th, 2013

But the worst phase of the office bullying began when her own co-workers started to isolate and harass her. At a staff Christmas party, she was given a card with sexual content that suggested she slept with all the men in the office.
