Ever had the unfortunate experience of being bullied at work? If yes, you are definitely not alone:
Leon Gettler is a contributor to The Age, specialising on management issues and recently wrote about bullying at work in his blog :
" A Workplace Pulse Quarterly Survey suggests that it (workplace bullying) is endemic here. Conducted in June 2008 among a sample of 2146 employees, it found that a massive 30% said they had been bullied in the workplace and almost one quarter (24%) claimed they had been victims of discrimination on the basis of race, gender or a disability. According to the survey, 27% said they had been the victim of workplace bullying or discrimination at least once over the past two years, and 15% said they had experienced this many times. Almost half (44%) said they had witnessed colleagues being bullied at work, and 35% said they had seen colleagues being treated in a discriminatory way. Even more alarmingly, 27% expressed uncertainty about their own rights and 31% were under the wrong impression when it came to who was legally responsible to provide this information."
