Is it just me…or am I being bullied in the workplace?

Is someone at work making you feel harassed, humiliated or intimidated? You might not be able to explain the experience, but you may be the victim of workplace bullying.

It is often difficult to determine when it began, and it can be even more difficult to explain exactly how it happens, but workplace bullying has a real impact on its victims.   

Victims of workplace bullying are often uncomfortable reporting such behavior because they feel they can’t explain the nature of their complaint properly or lack the requisite proof.

Victims are also unwilling to make a complaint for fear of the ramifications, whether this involves being labeled a whistleblower or losing their job.

If you are a national systems employee, you have a legal right to make a workplace bullying complaint – so make it!
