Office bullies thrive in recession The recession is creating a blank check for office bullies, said Gary Namie, director of the Workplace Bullying Institute, an advocacy group. The "absolute control of an employer is more apparent in a recession," he said.His advice for those who feel harassed: n Understand that abusive behavior -- invading someone's space with intent to intimidate or calling the person names -- isn't just rude. "It's not inadvertent, it's not accidental," Namie said. n Build an economic case against the bully. Has there been high turnover or absenteeism? Is there low morale? Has productivity sagged due to a tense, inefficient atmosphere? n Look for another job. Getting away from the bully might be the easiest way to resolve the problem. The Associated Press |
