Sighing could be recognised as workplace bullying

A recent Tribunal ruling in the UK may not have a direct impact on Polish courts, but it reflects a broader shift in understanding workplace relationships. – a direction that Polish law is also beginning to follow. A proposed law, currently under the Parliament’s review, states that, when assessing if workplace bullying had occurred, the victim’s personal (but reasonable) feelings must be considered. It is also important to remember that workplace bullying can look very different depending on the environment. What may be acceptable in a coal mine, could be seen as inappropriate in an office, especially among younger employees who may be more sensitive to certain behaviours. – Krzysztof Gąsior comments for BIZNES24.
