AJ sheffield Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Is it ever acceptable? I mean even if its a women bullying a man? Its never acceptable, one place I used to work at was terrible for it, in fact one bullying episode was so bad the company ended up paying the victim off to the tune of about 15 grand.

Mister M Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Is it ever acceptable? I mean even if its a women bullying a man? No it's not acceptable. Bullying is an abuse of power. And given that women often do become managers, then they can and do abuse their power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Star Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Bullies are usually insecure people. This is very true - there are quite a few nasty sorts where I work, and not one of them is any good at their job... They just panic and get nasty at those who are doing a better job...

Rich Siddall Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 How many men would think their manhood was lessened by saying a woman was bullying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456A Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Bullying is never acceptable. And if it's being done to you - keep a diary of all incidents. Tell the person that you're doing this - and if possible send a copy to your union rep. Each time they intimidate you, tell them that you think their attitude is not acceptable - and why. Bullies are just g*ts in disguise - male or female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffacake Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 There is also different kinds of bullying, i suspect that women that bully possibly do it in a more subtle way. Men like to excert their power over people, women would possibly do it in a more subtle manner, just little comments, insinuations etc. I am aware that i am generalising but it is just my experience. People in the workplace can make others lives a misery without even realising it just by their actions and work ethic, what about a colleague who doesn't pull their weight and thinks nothing to letting others take the strain, is that bullying? It certainly isn't fair..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
