Mobbing - Tiffany Lauder
Working Together is Living Together
Workplace bullying, also known as mobbing, is a phenomenon which has existed for many years, but has recently become relevant. Research on this issue began in 1980 and has increased rapidly, but the concept of mobbing is yet not clearly defined.
French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist Christophe Dejours, specialist in occupational medicine, reported an increase in the number of suicides in the workplace due to the fact that employees are defeated by the current world of work.

Iñaki Piñuel, researcher and professor at University of Alcalá, considers mobbing "the frequent, deliberate and humiliating oral aggression towards a worker by a colleague or a group of colleagues, either subordinate or superiors, which behave cruelly in order to cause his psychological destruction and force him
