Worplace bullying in Australia

My boss is a bully

Workplace bullying - stand up to your boss

I have worked for this company for 18 years without any problems so where did this come from? This person has been my boss for six months and so far managed to make my life a complete hell! What can I do?



My boss is a bully and has been horrible to me at every possible opportunity. She nit-picks at everything I do, she ignores me in the workplace while laughing and talking to everyone else.

19-1-2008My firm [an IT firm] deliberately employs bullies. They want to demotivate us with no payrises for 3 years and with an employee care programme that sucks. They want us out.
