Workplace bullying is a social verbal, physical and non verbal abuse from an employer or another person in the working environment. It can happen in any type of organization including of organization including offices shops, restaurants and government organization. It can happen to all types of employees including volunteers, student interns and permanent employees. Some of the workplace tormenting may be criminal offenses and are addressed in court of law.

Some of the tactics used include physical abuse, humiliation and non verbal behavior among others. This type of aggression is categorized in different ways. Any type of aggression from the management to the employees is termed as organizational bullying. It can also be an aggressive behavior from one employee to another.

It can also be a form of discounting. This happens mostly when you are in meeting and other social events. People that bully you will always go against your opinions. They disagree with your ideas using abusive language and do anything to prove that you are not fit in the organization. People also tend to discredit others. Discrediting occurs whereby people show disregarded quality of completed work despite lack of evidence.

People that want managerial seats in an organization may tend to hate each other, this leads to doing anything that will bring down your rival. People do a lot of things that can humiliate their core workers. Another cause of this type of behavior is dictatorship. Managers that feel that they own the organization tend to dictate all activities.

People can also encourage others to turn against the person being tormented. They do this by creating a bad image of the person to other people. One way that people use to encourage others is befriending them and isolating the tormented individual. There are people that torment others by publicly displaying gross and undignified behavior.

Another type is the threat to personal standing. This is whereby someone undermines the integrity of another. Insults and inappropriate jokes are also grouped in this type of behavior. When people criticize and call others names this is seen as a threat to ones personal standing.

Another tactic used for workplace bullying is lying about an evolution process. This is whereby people give false reports on other peoples work. All these tactics should be checked well in all organizations to ensure that people do not accuse others.
