BBC World Service - WorklifeIndia, How to deal with a bully boss

How should bullying at work be dealt with?

How should bullying at work be dealt with, and what should you do if a bullying boss makes your work-life a misery?

Toxic workplaces take many forms, but they share a common thread of bullying, negativity and harm. And they may result in wide-ranging consequences - right from physical health impacts to poor mental health and burnout, as well as organisational fallout.

Experts say most bullying originates from poor management, with destructive behaviours trickling down from the top level. Abusive bosses can engage in harassing behaviour anywhere – before the pandemic, it would be during in-person meetings, presentations or casual workplace interactions. Now, they even occur on Zoom team calls, in messages or over e-mails.

Bullying affects the quality of people's work, but what can be done about it? And how can you confront a bullying boss who's making your work-life a misery?

In this edition of WorklifeIndia, we discuss the ways one can deal with bullying at the workplace.
