I just want the bullying to stop. That is all I ever wanted. I used to love going to school. Now I hate it.

The challenge of being a manager is to get the best out of everybody, not just the few who are clones of yourself.

Why does the UK government ignore workplace bullying? Our system of democracy - government and law - is based on the adversarial model. To be successful in these fields, bullying behaviour is almost a prerequisite.

Today's workplace has become heartless and soulless. Employees are seen as units of labour, automatons, functionaries, objects for achieving designated tasks, and as costs to be minimised.

Until there's a public commitment, and action to back that commitment, a policy is only words on paper.

Each Act of Parliament intended to address harassment and discrimination has faced objections on the basis of 'you'll never be able to prove...' and 'there's too much legislation already...'. In no case has this line of reasoning ever been sustained.
