She says this means that everyone plays by the same set of rules.
JENNIFER SANDBERG: “There are still basic rules that every single person in an organization needs to follow.”
People who bully spend less time on productive work. They can make the workplace tense and unhealthy.
Executive coach, CNN commentator and author Lauren Mackler calls it a "toxic" environment. She advises people to avoid emotional conflict and child-like reactions when faced with insulting criticisms.
She also says people who show self-respect can be less likely targets of a bully. She gives examples like dressing well and looking people in the eye when talking to them.
And Lauren Mackler advises people who feel bullied to consider how the bully got that way.
LAUREN MACKLER: "You can equate the behavior with the degree of pain that the bully carries inside."
She says bullies were often bullied themselves as children.
LAUREN MACKLER: "That'll help you to have more compassion inside instead of judging the person and further feeding a toxic interaction.”
But bullying can cause some people to leave their job. Ms. Mackler says replacing experienced workers can cost one and a half times their yearly pay, or even more.
Last April, Australia's Productivity Commission considered the cost of bullying in a report on workplace safety. The lowest estimate of the cost to the Australian economy ten years ago was six to thirteen billion dollars.
