Did you ever face a bully at school? Someone who made your life so miserable you were afraid to come to class, rather than face taunting or even physical harm? Of course now that you're all grownup, those days are behind you, right?
Think again. Bullies have moved from the school yard to the workplace, and it's costing employers. An appeals court recently ruled in favor of female employees at an Alaska union office who sued their employer because their boss screamed, cursed, and shook his fist at them. The court decided the situation constituted sex discrimination because the women were affected more adversely than men.
And bullying has become such a nation-wide epidemic that several states have introduced legislation to combat this type of abusive conduct. If passed, these new laws will hold employers accountable for a hostile environment created by workplace bullies.
