You are right, a lot of questions come when we start thinking about bullying and it has me thinking that these questions we have bring us to a place where we might be able to tackle it.<br />I think we need to ask the questions more, we are often too scared to 'get involved' when we see something going with or to someone else and if it is happening to us fear of retribution or looking foolish stops us from advocating for ourselves. But if the behaviour is never challenged then will it ever change? <br />Why do we tolerate bullying in the workplace?

And who can he recruit others to help him to realize the goal. So his or her actions become calculated as he calculates how he will do it not caring about who he steps on to do it.<br />Could it be it is a desperate attempt to overcompensate for his/her insecurities? So many questions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362287972668529574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7524392125125258918.post-8289606242472084832014-05-18T21:13:14.429+12:002014-05-18T21:13:14.429+12:00Thanks for the comment Peter. :)

Yes, how can we stop it? A great question.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01784829996633523638noreply@blogger.com
