Whistleblower’s earnings protected until trial concludes
...ndblasted from the inside! I don't know how you do it, you certainly seem to be "down with the kids". I expect we will all see you on Britain’s got Talent at some point performing in some urban street dance group or something. Perhaps I will need to take some lessons so that (entertaining as they are) I can actually translate your missives in to something that I can understand more than about 1 word in 4! Keep up the good work but spare a thought for those of us who are not fluent in teenager. And I'm surprised that you think Vicky Pollard of Little Britain fame has been forgotten.

It could be that people are very loyal to their employers or, more likely, that they’re scared of the consequences if they get found out having told. It’s also quite possible that people don’t know how to report to the HSE.“But it does seem fairly clear that most people trust their line manager or supervisor to sort o...

08BULLYING
... this by colleagues about each other can only be tested for truth if there is more than one management line. I guess. Lastly, there is an over-lapping list of genunine nastyness in most of the points above to disliking, cold-shouldering, and failing to be friendly in one or two of them. If staff are over-crowded, forced to work together and make decisions together more than needs-be, this messy side of whatever bullying is will be exaggerated.
