Corporate Ethics: Bullying Doesn’t Stop At School, It Happens at Work Too

A million people show that bullying continues into adulthood

"Bullying, harassment, intimidation, the procurement of silence, and the use of social status to avoid consequences are a painful part of nearly every school environment.  But they are a part of the work environment, too.  Bullying doesn’t end after high school.  It’s a perverse aspect of how people behave in groups.  It’s persistent, and like a social disease, it only grows in hospitable environments.  Hospitable environments are easy to detect: they have silence and inaction."
