- Spreading malicious rumours
- Calling someone derogatory names
- Any other inappropriate conduct or comment that would cause someone to feel humiliated or intimidated
Bullying and harassing behaviour doesn’t include:
- Expressing differing opinions
- Offering constructive feedback, guidance or advice about work-related behaviour
- Reasonable actions taken by an employer or supervisor to manage and direct workers or the workplace (e.g., managing a worker’s performance, taking reasonable disciplinary actions, assigning work)

If the employer doesn’t respond to your concern about bullying and harassing behaviour, or if you don’t see any response from them, please report it to WorkSafeBC. If we don’t report it and follow up, our work environment won’t get better. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect at work and everywhere! We’ve heard many stories from the picket lines, and we need to make sure people are held accountable, so these things don’t happen again.
