The BBC reports that two million people face bullying at the workplace - and that most of the bullying is done by bosses. Senior managers are the worst perpetrators - not surprising given that they have the most power in the organization. So now, the British government is spending a million pounds on an anti-bullying campaign. (Read Two million face 'work bullying'.)
My prediction - this may work in the short term, but in the longer term, things are going to remain the same because for lasting change, the system needs to change.
