Increasing reports of bullying at work has been spreading into increased signs of aggression in schools where the children of those bullied adults have to face peers who know that their friends parents are being targetted and bullied. Negative effects of bullying at work leading to violence, aggression, and even increased sexual harrassment in schools and work places has been reported as seriously increasing in the past 21 years of documented studies on reported cases of all kinds of abuse.
Bullying at work encourages fellow workers to ostracise the victim of the bully. The bully has shown his power and they have their jobs and family to consider. The victim of bullying at work has only one place to vent his feelings of horror and that is at home. The passing of the abuse torch to his family is not uncommon and children as young as in the third grade have begun to show signs of helplessness and inability to fight back when being threatened, even physically.
Even though some people who try to fight back especially in colleges get fired for reporting the abuse, the bullying doesn’t stop there. The bully continues his attacks following his weak brother and by extension his family until his target is utterly destroyed thus gaining new prestige for the workplace bully as the winner in a contest where the bullied stood no chance of fighting fair or even of fighting back.
