Boston Globe “Discovers” Workplace Bullying

Saturday, December 30th, 2017

Hoping that this Boston Globe story – Workplace Bulling Remains in the Shadows – serves as a tipping point if not the tipping point (Malcom Gladwell’s “the moment of critical mass, the threshold, the boiling point”) for bringing workplace bullying out of the purgatory of no-news-coverage where it’s been sentenced for many years after several years of serious positive reporting by the likes of mainstream corporate news organizations like CBS, NBC and NY Times and other news media.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln prides itself as “The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is home to leading researchers who have studied bullying in the workplace as well as in school settings.”
