Bully ploy: it is a sad indictment on difficult economic times that the workplace bully is flourishing. Deborah Light reports on a distrubing corporate phenomenon

Article Abstract:

Workplace bullying, characterized nicely by the behavior of ABC's Jonathan Shier, is difficult to spot for upper management because bullys usually target those beneath them. Bullying, which may take the form of sudden rages, confrontation, ridicule, threats, and sabotage, is prevalent in Australia. In many cases bullying can be classified as harassment, and is antithetical to personal well-being and job productivity.
