"Workplace bullying is repetitive abusive behavior that devalues and harms others on the job. The intent of bullying is to intimidate and torment, stripping a person of his or her dignity and self-esteem. For the most part, workplace bullying does not involve physical violence but relies instead on the formidable weapons of hostile actions and words. If not addressed, the targeted person may resort to harmful activities which may include violence in the workplace." Dr. Lisa M. S. Barrow, 2009
