In the cases you mentioned – leaders and owners are bullies – often, even hard evidence won’t change them. Only well-documented, winnable legal suits can make a difference. Money talks. Good luck and keep looking for a company that has a great culture. If you’re a boss wanting to create a great culture, listen to the CD set, “How to Eliminate the High Cost of Low Attitudes.” Best wishes, Ben Hi Gina,

They were one of the few article series that generated a lot of attention. People are bullied and some don't even recognize it. This is such a huge problem. You pegged it when you said with the owners/managers (and I might add Presidents) are the bullies and gossipmongers, you can't change the company. Been a victim more than once. What a horrendous experience! Please follow-up with an article on how to deal with it when you are on the receiving end. I tried to deal with it in black and white, hard evidence and real proof. Guess what? It didn't make one whit of difference to the entire Board of Directors. Now, that is a hugely sad case. Not whining, mind you, just stating facts.
