Overview:
Do you work with a bully? The definition of bullying is activity that is unfair, humiliating, malicious, vindictive and intended to harm the victim. It is persistent and prolonged.
In today's high-tech world, bullying isn't limited strictly to face-to-face interactions; this behavior has taken to computer networks, where it shows its face in nasty emails (after all, email gives you more time to choose your words and be unemotional - and it gives you a paper trail). No matter how it happens, though, bullying can be hurtful and it also can damage professional reputations.
