Which is worse: getting bullied or being sexually harassed?

Jul 14, 2008 by FN's Shar Bareng

Bullying doesn't end in high school--even adults go through it in the workplace. The disturbing thing is that it appears to be more traumatizing than sexual harassment, according to a new study in Canada.

According to the study, bullying often includes excessive criticism, yelling, repeated reminders of employees' mistakes, spreading gossip and lies, ignoring or excluding workers, and insulting personal habits, attitudes or private life.

 

Have you experienced at least a small degree of workplace bullying as well? And do you think it would affect you more than sexual harassment could?
