How can I recognise if I am being bullied at work?
You can recognise if you are being bullied at work by looking out for certain behaviours such as unwarranted criticism, social isolation, nasty and targeted jokes, or being given meaningless tasks aimed at undermining you.
What steps should I take if I am experiencing bullying at work?
If you are experiencing bullying at work, you should document all incidents in detail and report the bullying to a supervisor, or HR, following your company’s policies on workplace harassment.
What is the difference between tough management and workplace bullying?

Can workplace bullying be a form of discrimination?
Workplace bullying can be a form of discrimination if it is based on ‘protected characteristics’ such as race, sexual orientation, gender, gender reassignment, age, religion, or disability. This behaviour goes against anti-discrimination laws such as the Equality Act of 2010.
