This essay groups employee mistreatment into four categories: abusive supervision, bullying, incivility, and sexual harassment. These categories often overlap and vary in severity, and they represent a cross-section of the various forms of maltreatment that employees might encounter in virtually any workplace. This is an important issue not only because of the ethically

Thus, recently social media seems to express utter disdain with bullies terrifying innocuous classmates in schools, but many organizations overlook workplace bullying and underestimate its power since it is not a punishable offense.
