Answer:Do you think Ming is correct in saying Mindy is bullying her?
Yes , she is right, Mindy is definitely bullying her.
What are the indications of bullying?
Bullying doesn't only occur physically but also psychologically and and emotionally,especially in a place of work it can de identified by mistreatment of the other person,verbal abuse , threatening and humiliating the other person.
The bullied person is outcastes , alienated , excluded and ignored like what Mindy is doing, ignoring Ming while he greet everyone else , excluding her by not inviting her in a farewell lunch , eventhough all other colleagues are invited by Mindy.
Spreading false rumours is also part of bullying .
He also critized her publicly by publicly sharing an email about a loss of a client caused by Ming .
These are all signs of abuse.
What advice would you give to Ming?
She will need to keep record or document everything so that when she decides to take the matter further , she may be able to submit proof of what has been happening to her,this will give evidence.
How would you handle this situation with Mindy, without embarrassing Ming?
I think talking to Mindy in an objective way without including Ming's name will be helpful since Mindy has publicly shared his bullying activities. I can actual point out things that are not allowed at work and how certain things can be harmful and degrading to other employees. Make him see how certain behavior affects other employees and how this can be a serious issue that can affect the company and affects even Mindy himself .
