What attracts the media to woman-on-woman (WOW) bullying is the fact that women are targeted at a higher rate by female bullies (71%) than by male bullies (46%). Yes, women are crueler to women than they are to men, and that must be explained. But donât forget that 60% of all bullies are men.
But bullying is not limited to adolescence. In fact, more and more people are encountering bullies at work. In fact, recent studies report that an estimated 54 million Americans have been bullied at some point in their career. Bullying can occur between a boss and a subordinate or between co-workers. But perhaps the most difficult situation to deal with is bullying by a boss â the very person responsible for your advancement within the company. Many times people do not realize that their boss is bullying them.
