In the US, any type of hazing would be considered workplace bullying. Because hazing would cause workplace disturbances and a hostile work environment, the parties responsible for harassing another worker could face disciplinary actions and firing. Depending on the severity, and your employer's response, termination could be immediate, especially if you are employed "at will" of the employer or "at their pleasure"--meaning, the employer does not really need a reason to terminate your employment (so don't give the employer any reason to do so).

Besides the risks to your employment, people must think about the personal cost of workplace harassment and bullying. It affects feelings of safety, employee morale, and productivity as well.
