Work Place Bullying: PowerPoint

On June 28th, 2012 Mrs. Angie Whitaker came to speak to us about work place bullying. Work place bullying is bullying in your job. In my opinion the most important point she made in her PowerPoint were:

 

Bully- a "strong" person exerting power and control over a "weaker" person or a perceived threat.

Target- the victim of the bullying; becomes a target when they buy into the bullying
