>Your friend is right on target.
We do a lot of work on bullying in the workplace and the effects are staggering. In fact, our last newsletter addressed that issue.
We do work in workplace violence and bullying is a major catalyst to truly catastrophic events.
Sadly, companies often don't do anything because the bully is normally great at getting out production - UNTIL the companies start looking at ancillary costs, such as overtime, absenteeism, quality, expedited shipping costs, increases in both health care expenses and workers comp.
If people are interested here, I'd be happy to list strategies we suggest to combating the bully.
