Fact is, that most bullies are crafty enough to avoid sexually harassing others these types know exactly how to manipulate and work in that gray area of bullying but they (usually) stay away from full-out sexual harassment. Most companies have steps in place to deal swiftly with the behavior. Sexual harassment is against the law and can be prosecuted. Let's face it, most companies don't know how to deal with bullying behavior because it doesn't fall into the neat and tidy box of "sexual harassment". Remember, the people you work with often won't speak up because they are afraid, they don't see that life has infinite choices and they are not willing to do anything that they (think) might put their job on the line. But, as it is happening so many people (especially managment-types) seem to sit back and accept -and often REWARD- bullying behavior that it is easy to feel a little crazy about what is going on. On that note, I had an interesting "gut check" conversation yesterday with a friend about bullying in the workplace. In the workplace, life is much better when we trust and respect those we interact with regularly. And those are the same people that give me kind and constructive guidance when I'm out of line. Those are the same people I can go to and get a "gut check" when something feels wrong. Friends are kind and generous we trust and RESPECT each other well enough to work TOGETHER to make a great scene. I can improvise with anyone though I prefer to improvise with friends.
