While the celebrities are sending out their message to kids “It gets better” referring to bullying at school and suggesting that being an adult is infinitely better than being a kid, many adults who are targeted by bullies at work would completely disagree. Bullying and bullies do not just necessarily go away as kids grow into adults. In fact, sometimes bullies who are kids grow into adult bullies, and continue on with their behaviour. Adult bullying has the same goals as kid bullying. The bully still intends to hurt, humiliate, exclude or embarrass the person being targeted through any number of behaviours.
According to the Occupational Health and Safety website (2008), examples of workplace bullying can look like the following;
Again, adult bullying has the same goals as child bullying. Staff can feel particularly challenged when they feel like their boss is the bully. The same website offers these solutions to workplace bullying.
Do:
- The date, time and what happened in as much detail as possible
- The names of witnesses.
- The outcome of the event.
Remember, it is not just the character of the incidents, but the number, frequency, and especially the pattern that can reveal the bullying or harassment.
Do Not:
Most regions throughout Canada and the United States must, by law, have staff trained to recognize and act on workplace harassment. Bullying behaviours can easily be seen as harassing behaviours, and there is recourse for staff feeling bullied. If you are feeling bullied at work, find out what your rights are and know that this behaviour is wrong.
