According to the experts, it takes many forms including being unfairly treated,[b]public humiliation[/b], being regularly threatened with the sack, and even[b][url=http://d.24en.com/s/?wd=character]character[/url] assassination[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]And in the modern world the phenomenon of [b]cyberbullying[/b] has evolved whereby bullies attack their victims on social-networking sites or send[b]menacing[/b] text messages and emails.[/p][p=21, 2, left]So if you feel you are being bullied at work, what should you do?[/p][p=21, 2, left]The UK government's website suggests an informal approach first. Try getting advice from an employee representative like a [b]trade union official [/b]or someone in the firm's [b]human resources department[/b].[/p][p=21, 2, left]Alternatively, you may also try talking to the bully who may not be aware of how their behaviour is affecting you.[/p][p=21, 2, left]If all else fails you may have to make a formal complaint using your employer's [b]grievance procedure [/b]or even take [b]legal action[/b][/p][/size][/font][/color]
