Bullies At Work: The Roots of Mean
April 7, 2008
Someone sent me the link to this video recently from The New York Times business section of their website about how it feels to be bullied at work. Apparently, there is also talk about making it illegal for a boss to verbally abuse an employee the same way harassment (sexual and otherwise) and discrimination have been outlawed. All very interesting indeed, but what really got me was the idea that adult bullies are nothing more than throwbacks from a mean-spirited childhood.
But how could someone not outgrow that? Or more importantly, why wouldn’t people want to? It’s such an ugly thing to be as a child, you would think that any normal, well-meaning adult would want to change behaving like a Neanderthal so as not to subject the rest of the world to his or her flaws.
I know, I know. You’re thinking, “Donna, dream on.” Or, as the old saying goes, "Maybe When Pigs Fly!"
