An article about the phenomenon of "workplace mobbing" caught my eye recently. This is where co-workers use psychological bullying to make things so uncomfortable for the targeted worker that they quit, have a nervous breakdown, or worse.
This is differenent than the toxic workplace that is not directed at someone in particlular, but where a co-worker is targeted for this treatement, and efforts are made to conceal the reality of it.
The link http://members.dodo.net.au/~shallcross/index.html is a good starting point.
(I wonder how many need meds to cope with this?)

Hi Fred32,
Thank you for posting this. I'd never heard of it, but I feel I am a victim of it.
I left my last job an emotional wreck. I quit because I couldn't take another minute of being back stabbed by my co-workers and subordinates. I was harrassed, emotionally abused, discredited and ganged up on. Just what workplace mobbers do.
My ADs stopped working at about the same time I quit my job. I was in a bad state and came close to being hospitalized. Economically it was not a good time to quit my job (had just bought a house)and seven months later I haven't gotten a new job. Leaving was voluntary, but I was really forced out by workplace mobbers.
I hope my next job is free of them. I can't take it again, I'm amazed I lasted three months.
Thanks again for posting this.
Poet
