Workplace Bullying Worse Than Sexual Harassment: Study
Court Issues |

Whether it is belittling comments, persistent criticism or withholding resources, bullying at work is more harmful than sexual harassment, according to Canadian research done last year.
It is more difficult for employees to cope with bullying because they have nowhere to turn and no workplace policies or legislation to protect them compared to victims of sexual harassment. Their overall well-being is worse, they are more stressed, angry, anxious, less committed and more likely to quit.
"Bullying can be done in such an insidious way that unless you're the victim, other people don't even know its happening," Sandy Hershcovis, of the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, said in an interview.
"Its really hard to get other people to understand or to try to report it."
If you have reported this type of problem in your workplace with no results, you should hire a labor and employment lawyer. Weinberg Law Firm can assist those in the Plato, Texas area with these problems. The employment attorneys of Weinberg Law Firm can also help with sexual harassment cases. Contact them to discuss your case. |
