Coping with workplace bullying

What is it?  According to one expert: "bullying involves hostile behaviors, including belittling a person or a person’s work, discounting or ignoring the person’s input or viewpoint, overfocusing on negatives, deliberately doing things that annoy the person, making unrealistic work demands, sabotaging the person’s work and blaming the person for someone else’s actions or mistakes. "

What to do about it? "The first thing a bullied person should do is assemble a support system. It can consist not only of family and friends but also professionals such as a pastor, mental health counselor, doctor, lawyer or union representative, if applicable."
