Research for the book-the bullying scenes

In researching for this book, it was rather disconcerting to find that workplace bullying is more than a common occurrence. The research suggests that it has a profound effect on the individual who is on the receiving end and that "behavior is generally:persistent and prolonged in nature;carried out by one or more persons against one or more targets;conscious behavior with the intention to harm the target;has a devastating influence on the emotional well-being of the victim or target."
