"What the research has shown, however, is that employees of bullies withhold the extras, i.e. they are not fully engaged or giving 100 percent. For example, they may treat customers poorly, do average as opposed to excellent work and spend countless working hours complaining about the boss to their colleagues and friends. Clearly, the organization suffers in both tangible and intangible ways when managers push employees around."

"You are about to enter a nightmare. You are a conscientious and productive worker. Your boss, who previously was supportive, starts making carping criticisms of your work and gives no praise. Then, out of the blue, you are carpeted and subjected to screaming abuse. Previously you were invited to planning meetings, but now you are left off the list - but your subordinate is included. Petty obstacles are put in your way, such as difficulties in getting materials or cooperation. You are losing prime assignments. As the problems compound, you lose confidence and perform below your best. After one small oversight, you are criticised in front of your co-workers without a chance to reply. You begin to dread coming to work, never knowing when the boss will sink another barb into your weakened ego." This Resource goes on to review 11 top books on bosses and bullying.

"The bullying of adults in the workplace, although it is a phenomenon that has been with us for many years, has only recently been recognised as a problem of significance. With this recognition comes an awareness of the prevalence and seriousness of the problem. Workplace bullying causes great pain and hurt to its victims. Anyone, irrespective of personality or ability can be bullied. Reasoning with the bully, attempting to please them, exhibiting distress or anger are all frequently used but are inadequate victim responses to bullying."
