Employment
Is bullying a problem at your workplace?
In New Zealand there is a culture to bully the older, more mature, loyal worker is an accepted practice. New Zealand management appears to encourage this through their business subculture."
The whole approach appears to be wear the older people out both physically and mentally, with that comes all the stress related health issues and at that point the person leaves. Finding a new work position at that point is mission impossible. Age discrimation in employment is rife even though there are meant to be laws which are in theory there to stop this.

It's so difficult and stressful to do anything about, it's usually better to just try and find a new job before you're a complete wreck Wahine Toa
Workplace bullies drain the working-spirit out of many employees; usually, the problem comes from mid-level managers and supervisors. More often than not, it's used as a means of demonstrating "effective leadership" to the next tier up.
But, everyone has different degrees of sensibilities and sensitivities, when it comes to a reprimand from a supervisor etc. There can be a fine line between a considered "reprimand" and a put-down "rebuke".
Bullying does undermine productivity and workplace harmony; it's corrosive and debilitating, creating the 'Mondayitis Fear and Dread'. It's up to senior managers to identify the culprits, and remove them from their positions.
