How do employees cope with management bullying in the workplace?
- Management bullying is not uncommon as one may think and one individual in Management can cause a great turn-over in the company they are working for which is not good PR, but often encouraged by higher ups in the company. It is true that in some companies it is encouraged to use bulling tactics by a Manager because they believe it will extract better work productivity by instilling fear into one or more employees. Often Managers use everything they have including threats to an employee or employees to make themselves look like they are doing a good job in hopes of a raise; bonus or a promotion. There is something the employee or employees can do because bullying in the workplace comes under 'playground bullying.' Keep a log with dates of what bullying tactics your Manager is using on you. Do not confront your Manager! This will only cause further problems and a possibility of the employee being fired. After you have kept a log for three weeks to a month then you can go to this link where they will help you file a complaint:

How being a victim affect you?
It will affect you a lot.It depends on what type of bullying.
Physical:
You can get seriously injured if you don't do what the "bully" says.It can also mean doing something bad to your workplace or friend.This is also when threatening gets involved. For example,if you don't give up your employee of the month they will beat you up or something like that.
Verbal/Teasing:
Verbal and Teasing isn't the worst type of bullying,or at least, not in my opinion.The worst they can do is call you a B**** or say F*** You! But when it gets serious they can drag physical bullying in it.This type of bullying will probably not affect you too much unless they imitate your voice and say bad words and blame you for it.
Cyber:
This is the most mysterious bullying.If you ever get cyber bullied,sometimes police are involved.That only really happens if you don't know who it is. It's a different situation when you do know who's cyber bulling you,because it's easier to know how to solve it.But let's say someone says,"I'm going to beat the S*** out of you if you don't freakin' gimme your place you nerd." something like that will definitely have to get serious.I would have to say this bullying would be the worst bullying of all mostly because it's harder to solve.This would affect you like there's no tomorrow when it's VERY serious.
There are other types of bullying but these are most important to know.
Tip:Always have a friend near.That can help you avoid being bullied or being the victim.

Yes and no.
No, a bully tends to pick on somebody weaker because of different problems in there lives. They don't really care if they hurt you because it most likely eases them of some pain, which makes them feel better about themselves.
