Bullying is offensive, intimidating, malicious or insulting behavior involving the misuse of power that can make a person feel vulnerable, upset, humiliated, undermined or threatened. Power does not always mean being in a position of authority, but can include both personal strength and the power to coerce through fear or intimidation.
Bullying can take the form of physical, verbal and non-verbal conduct. Non-verbal conduct includes postings on social media outlets. Bullying may include, by way of example:
● shouting at, being sarcastic towards, ridiculing or demeaning others
● physical or psychological threats
● overbearing and intimidating levels of supervision
● inappropriate and/or derogatory remarks about someone's performance
● abuse of authority or power by those in positions of seniority
● deliberately excluding someone from meetings or communications without good reason
