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.

The serial bully, who in my estimation accounts for about one person in thirty in society, is the single most important threat to the effectiveness of organisations, the profitability of industry, the performance of the economy, and the prosperity of society.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim.

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

Bullies thrive wherever authority is weak

Any anti-bullying scheme, initiative or policy which fails to mention accountability for the bullies is likely to meet with little, and often no, success

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