such as having opinions ignored or being unfairly blamed, publicly humiliated or shouted at.
I have experienced 3 out of 4 of these and never considered it bullying. Arsehole / incompetent behavior from my superiors, yes, but not bullying.
- nerdponx 7y agoIntent probably has something to do with it. In my mind, bullying is "targeted" and persistent over time. Not sure if that is their definition as well.
- collyw 7y agoI agree, but the article doesn't seem to mention anything like that.
- carlob 7y agoI also tend to associate the term bullying with kids, and use mobbing for workplace bullying. Apparently wikipedia uses the two terms almost interchangeably.
- permatech 7y agoAre you in the US or Europe? I’ve heard the term mobbing used in Germany but never the US. In the US bullying would apply to both adults and children.
- gdfasfklshg4 7y agoI have never heard the word "mobbing" in the UK.
- carlob 7y agoItaly. We specifically use the English word mobbing but we have a translation for bullying (bullismo).
- commandlinefan 7y agoSame - I can't help but wonder how many of these respondents are just confusing the vicissitudes of life with bullying.
- arrrg 7y agoBeing shouted at at work is in any way acceptable now? I never have been and would be completely shocked if anyone did shout at me during my job, no matter what I did. That’s completely unacceptable.
- collyw 7y agoWhy don't you find it acceptable? There are plenty of jobs where there is lots of shouting involved. - much of the military, football managers for example.
