This is a quick read since this book is very short, just about 35 pages. It does get to the point. I have worked with a bully and she fit all the descriptions on the author's list, which is scary, because there were no exceptions. After months of dealing with it, when I finally complained, my manager did not deal with it well, however, so it was a horrible situation for me. I feel that companies should stress that bullying cannot be tolerated in the work place. It is just as bad as any other type of harassment. Adults who are bullies are just as bad as bullies in your child's playground. I think that the author's book gives a good overall view on what bullying is and why bullies do what they do. She doesn't really tell readers how to deal with it, except to recognize that this is what it is, and report it to the supervisor. She mentions that a supervisor should take the manner seriously, and try to keep the bully and the victim separate. She also mentioned that the victim should document all incidents to keep a record. If the supervisor is the bully, she says that only then might you need to go over his or her head. Otherwise, the author suggests that it is best to keep within the chain of command.
