WBI response to J. Harper’s spurious claim of “anti-bully hysteria”

by Annie Finnigan, Working Mother, Dec, 2011 issue

Nasty bosses and mean co-workers can make work a living hell, and working moms are often targets. Here’s what employees and companies need to know about bullying-and how to fight it.
