I work with people on workplace issues, and it has been alarming to see how bullying has increased in direct proportion to all the talk about psychosocial safety and safeguards. It seems that the people who shout ‘be kind’ the loudest are cloaking a vicious vindictiveness. The stories of people being undermined, labeled, belittled, hyper-criticised,plagiarised, publicly humiliated are multiplying daily. It’s the era of the malignant narcissist, using virtue signalling as a means of attack, and all the minions who join in to avoid being the next target.
