Workplace Bullying
Bullying is a malicious act committed by an employee in the workplace that another individual finds offensive. Typically, these acts have nothing to do with the company's legitimate business interests. Abusive behavior may include repeated verbal abuse, lewd comments, or one-sided jokes. A single act may not establish an arbitrary routine unless it is particularly dangerous and unfortunate.
