So how do you respond to the boorish attacks of your superiors?

According to a study of working conditions in European countries by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound), on average, 4-5% of employees in the European Union experience psychological violence — mobbing — at the workplace. The consequences of mobbing on the activities of an employee and organization can be very serious.

Mobbing is not an individual problem. In fact, this is a serious problem for the organization, which jeopardizes its survival.

Have you ever felt like you don't want to go to a job you once loved? Have you ever been harassed by colleagues or superiors?

Daria Nevskaya's interview with Lithuanian National Radio about workplace bullying.

Mobbing is collective psychological terror, harassment against an employee by his colleagues, subordinates or superiors in order to force him/her to leave their place of work.

In Russia, 5 to 20 percent of employees become victims of office terror. According to experts, almost every fifth working Russian faces “mobbing” (from English mob — crowd) — psychological violence in the form of harassment of an employee in a team. As a rule, with a view to his subsequent dismissal. The result is, at best, wasted nerves and loss of work, at worst, ruined health.

As a litmus test, the economic crisis revealed the inability of victim society to resolve labor conflicts associated with mass layoffs in a civilized manner. Now they are fired either quietly and despicably, or, accusing the departure candidate of all deadly sins without renewing his contract, or they wash the resisting employee into powder.
