Bullying which is the intentional act to inflict harm, threaten or abuse of others, can range in many ways. Kathryn Hawkins on the article the Office Bully, outlines various issues of this concept. Kathryn states that sometimes people become overconfidence that they left bullies in their past lives maybe high school, but later found out the bullies have ultimately become their bosses.

’Bullying Affects People, It Honestly Really Hurts,’ is about the bad effects that bullying has on people. The author talks a little bit about her personal experience and how she was bullied. She goes on to say, “My other friend went to the counselor and told them the situation without me knowing. I was mad but glad, because they did something I never would have originally.” You can see she felt embarrassed and discouraged.

Workplace bullying is type of pervasive practice that an employee experiences from individuals who seeks out supremacy. Bullying can involve verbal, nonverbal, physical abuse and humiliation. This abuse can affect businesses with inefficient way of working that is both costly and preventable (Wiedmar, 2011, p. 35). There are many types of workplace bullying: threats to professional status, personal standing, isolation, overwork and destabilization (Baack, 2012).

It is said that workplace bullying in the UK and Europe is increasingly recognized as a major workplace stressor. Despite of this, it is remain problematic, among targets and within organizations. This paper reports a qualitative study explore experiences of bullying among ten British women targets, all public sector professional. Data were composed using in-depth interviews and analyzed using grounded theory methods. Finding showed that these targets struggled to identify and cope with bullying.

Adult bullying is another types of bullying, but it is not less harm than the others. Weber wrote this article trying to explain that bullying is almost everywhere in work, school and even in streets.it isn’t only between children and teenager, but it’s also between adults and especially at work.

Nurses eat their own is an established adage which is an oxymoron attached to the profession of nursing. The representation of a nurse is one of compassion and caring for the patients, but this is not extended to one another within the workplace. The significance of this study by the nurse authors A. Barrett, C. Piatek, S. Lorberto, and C. Padula was to bring civility, nurse satisfaction and cohesiveness to the workplace by developing team building interventions, and expurgating lateral violence between the staff. However, numerous studies been performed to improve the nurse to nurse relationship and consequently improving evidence base outcomes.

As stated above, the causes of workplace bullying are complex and multi-faceted. Research has shown that stress within the workplace and exposure to bullying is two causes of workplace bullying (Hauge, Skogstad, Anders, & Einarsen, 2009). There is a higher proportion of bullying in any size organization when there is a culture that does not promote social and human values (Baillien, Neyens, & Dewitte, 2011). Other common causes are emphasizing a competitive work environment by managers, also setting unreasonable demands, and goals and lack of authority from management, these factors can all lead to bullying within the workplace (Alsever, 2008). “There is good research available to suggest that strongly hierarchical or feudal organizations are more likely to have an inherent structure which invites, tolerates and supports bullying behaviors” (McCulloch, 2010). These are just a few examples of the many causes of workplace bullying.

Sometimes the bully believes his or her actions are justified as a means of climbing the corporate ladder. When the word “bully” is mentioned, many people think of an aggressive, mean person. However, in my experience and from a managerial/supervisory standpoint, most workplace bullies are actually non-aggressive (from a physical standpoint) but they are extremely aggressive from a non-physical standpoint. For example, the cunning workplace bully employs methods of deception, misrepresentation of information and intentional misdirection of blame onto another person. These types of deliberate acts, which are completed in an attempt to gain power, respect or influence, in this student’s opinion can be equal to the more common form of physical bullying. Hananel (2013) reports that non-physical on-the-job bullying can be seen as a supervisor’s verbal abuse or threats, cruel comments or relentless teasing by a co-worker. Hananel (2013) also indicates that employers list the majority of bullying incidents as verbal abuse, such as shouting, swearing and name-calling, along with malicious gossip, rumors and

There are many reasons why bullying happens in a workplace. Here are a few of them. Bullies are not punished and they thrive. Laws are non-existent or very weak that they don’t help anyone. The company does not have the will to stop it from happening. Coworkers do not do anything to help stop it. They just stand by and watch or ignore it. The workplace principles reward cutthroat behaviors. There are a few hyper-aggressive people who have some social problems. Those who are at the top of management are the bullies. Bullying is a larger part of society as a whole. Bullies do follow directions from the top management. No one in the company has the ability to stop it. (Namie, 2016) Those are the top ten reasons bullying happens.

I have experienced bullying at the facility I work at also. That’s sad that he did her like that where you worked. He should have been reported. I do not like bullying. I see a lot of it everywhere. People tend to try to take advantage of people that are nice. They view them as being “weak”. According to Thompson 2016, in a study it was found that more than 88% of nursing students reported experiencing bullying behaviors in the clinical environment. I saw this one girl who would pick on skinny females who were new nurses. She would come and start hitting the table where she was sitting and start yelling at skinny females. I would speak up for them because I do not tolerate bullying. They seemed like they were taking up for the bully
