Boy, I have seen my share of workplace bullying in my time. Years ago, had a new fellow unmercifally pilloried because he had a somewhat effeminate manner. He did his job well, no complaints there. But even after he introduced his wife and children, a few people just would not let go, and he eventually quit. Years later, as a (reluctant) supervisor, I still have to step in when employees needlessly harrass new hires for not learning their job immediately, which is unreasonable. Many of these people also quit, and then the veterans complain about being short staffed. Go figure.
