Examples of bullying and workplace mobbing include*:
- rumors or gossip which are both used to discredit the individual and make the workplace uncomfortable;
- collectively creating deliberately embarrassing and humiliating situations or innuendo about an individual;
- verbal aggression which consists of workplace bullies often being verbally aggressive toward their targets. The aggression may take the form of a brusque or unpleasant tone when speaking to the target;
- stonewalling which consists of targets being overlooked to the point that their suggestions, projects and initiatives are ignored by coworkers and supervisors. Requests for feedback, status updates, or support often go unanswered; and
- isolation which occurs when a victim becomes so isolated that they are unable to communicate with their coworkers, and even fear them to the point the workplace becomes intolerable.
