Potential bullying

Jeff had been criticised by his manager. He felt he was being ‘managed out’ and described the manager’s style as ‘bully like’. Jeff didn’t know what to do as the issue involved a manager.

Fair Way’s Kāpehu practitioner listened to Jeff. In their chat, Jeff was guided to think about how this was affecting him, his manager, his work and his team. They talked about the different perspectives. Jeff questioned if this was bullying, so the practitioner explored that with him.

After chatting through the issue and options, Jeff decided to talk to HR as he wanted formal action to happen.
