Identify.
We have been asked by several readers how they can identify workplace bullies. We are getting together some hand outs which should be available soon in your local centres,but in the meantime we will briefly sumerise the main characteristics of the workplace bully.
]A bully needs to control people
2]A workplace bully doesn’t want to hear the other side of the story.
3] Makes inappropriate comments about appearance,lifestyle.
4]Distorts truth and reality
5]Charming in public-two faced

There are a few more characteristics,but we hope this gives you some understanding of the workplace bully. Some of our previous posts go into greater detail and it may be worth reading them. You can also print them off.We are in the process of getting together handouts on this most evil of workplace issues.They will be ready shortly and we hope to have them in centres city and community wide.Â
