Women Believe Exclusion Is A Form Of Bullying In The Workplace
by Karen Higginbottom, Forbes
A majority of women believe exclusion is a form of bullying in the workplace, according to a survey of more than 1,000 workers in the US.
This is in direct contrast to majority of men who don’t believe that exclusion is a form of bullying in the workplace.
The EY “Belonging Barometer” study reveals how US workers define belonging, what makes them feel like they belong at work and what makes them feel excluded in the workplace.
Karyn Twaronite, EY’s global diversity and inclusiveness officer, believes that the root of this exclusion for women likely lies in the unconscious exclusion that can become a bad habit formed when they are excluded from one meeting, which can turn into several meetings.

Teachers face cyberbullying from parents as well as pupils, study shows
by Tim O’Brien, Irish Times
Parents, as well as pupils are engaged in cyberbullying of school teachers, according to a study to be presented to the annual conference of the Psychological Society of Ireland, on Thursday.
The study, entitled The Cyberbullying of Post-Primary Teachers by Pupils in Ireland engaged with 577 post-primary teachers, exploring how they self-regulate their profiles on social media, and their attitudes towards communicating with students online.
Participants said bullying could take the form of adverse comment from pupils and their parents on Whatsapp groups, as well as social media sites where pupils “rate” teachers and direct emails.

In one case a parent attending a meeting with a teacher and a principal used a smartphone to record the meeting, later putting it online. The use of smartphones by pupils to record teachers during class was also noted.

Sarnia politicians wearing ‘Healthy workplace’ stickers to protest Mayor Mike Bradley
by TYLER KULA, SARNIA OBSERVER
SARNIA — A sticker an outgoing city councillor started wearing as part of her campaign for mayor, and has continued after the election, she says, is drawing peoples’ attention.
Anne Marie Gillis and four of her colleagues on council donned the stickers, which read ‘A Healthy Workplace Matters,’ in council chambers Monday.
Members from councils in other jurisdictions are asking for them too, Gillis said.
The stickers, in Gillis’s purple, green and white campaign colours – suffragette colours, she noted – were introduced at Sarnia’s Labour Day parade and she’s been wearing them since.
“I’m determined to continue to wear them,” she said.
They’re a response to what Gillis has characterized as “toxic” leadership from Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley.
