The researchers mentioned that bullying at work includes harassing, offending, or socially excluding someone repeatedly over a period of around six months, and with this type of behavior victim could lead to poor health as he gets exposed to a very stressful situation.
Dr Vergel further added that being exposed to workplace bullying leads to deteriorated mental health and decreased well-being, but at the same time, showing anxious behavior puts the victim in a weak position and makes them an easy target, leading to a spiral of abuse.
