Bullying at work
Recently, a project was launched (costing well in excess of £1m) in an attempt to erradicate bullying from the workplace. Further information on bullying at work can be found on our website.

I am about to lose my job as a result of bullying by my manager.
He overloaded my job so that it was impossible to complete, repeatedly took conduct code action against me for failing to do it all, eventually managed to defeat an appeal by getting “yes men” to lie for him, moved me to unsuitable work which gave him the opportunity to start discipline procedures again for being unable to perform it to the required standard…
We work in a large organisation that has a very good bullying/harassment procedure on paper but a history of inaction and “sweeping under the carpet”, especially when the guilty party is a manager (which is 80-90% of cases).

My daughter has been forced to leave two successive jobs as a result of bullying at work. The bullies, usually management or management spies know that until a person acquires ‘tenure’ they can virtually do anything they like to a victim. There is little or no legislation to protect people from this and I wish some lawyer would take out some type of ‘class action’ that would allow several people to try to do something about it and set a useful precedent. How do these people sleep at night? With no difficulty I expect.
