The Workplace Is Marginalized Or Worse Than Being Bullied.

Sandra Robinson, an example, shows that "being excluded" means that you should attend a meeting, but no one invites you to go.

In addition, you may feel that you are being squeezed out in this case: everyone gathered here to talk in a lively way, and when you go, they are quiet at once.

There are many forms of rejection, but usually you do not get the expected response from the other side.

In order to determine

Robinson and other researchers conducted a series of surveys on the responses of managers and employees in many organizations.

First, they asked 90 managers how they felt about crowding and bullying at work.

It was found that crowding out behavior was more socially acceptable, causing less trouble in work and less harm than bullying.

But researchers found that

The harm of being excluded and bullied is equally serious.

Research shows that being ignored at work is the most harmful factor to a person's happiness.

Exclusion is not only bad for employees' health, but also affects people's performance and satisfaction.

In the 1300 cases of Robinson survey, those who had been excluded were more likely to be dissatisfied with their work, easier to quit, and less willing to work.

The problem is even more serious.

After three years of research, researchers found that those who felt excluded were more likely to quit.

Robinson points out that "most people think that being pushed out at work is better than being bullied.

But people who have actually experienced it will tell us that this is not the case, and so is our survey data.

Being squeezed out at work is the most painful thing. "

Another poll on workplace shows that nearly 1/3 of Americans say they are being squeezed out of work.

Robinson says exclusion is a form of bullying, though many may not think so.

She hopes that further research will prove that its influence may be more serious than harassment.

Robins believes that managers have a long way to go to make employees aware of the fact that job crowding is just as bad as sexual harassment and verbal harassment.

"We have tried to eliminate bullying in our work and schools, but the exclusion has not attracted enough attention," he said.

Robinson pointed out that "many people feel that they are excluded from daily life and are ignored, but because of all sorts of injustice, they can not voice."
