Jennifer,

Certainly I think there is a link in some cases, and I think your scenarios are – unfortunately – dead-on.

Stephanie,

I’m seeing this topic surface again and again on blogs this year. Wondering out loud– do you suppose there is any correlation between difficult economic times and “bad workplace behavior”, of which bullying is a sub-set?

For example, if bosses with bullying tendencies believe that employees have few employment options, then that bullying behavior isn’t suppressed. By the same token, employees may believe they have few options, so they tolerate the bullying. Bully bosses get away with it and the cycle continues.

Just wondering. . .
