Tutorials on Workplace Bullying for Bullied Workers
Free Information For Bullied Individuals And Their Families
We started listening to bullied targets in 1997. The founders, Drs. Ruth and Gary Namie, stopped counting the number of hour-long tales they heard by phone at 12,000. WBI Coach Jessi Eden Brown has heard and coached thousands more. These are anecdotal data, rich in details.
We also reviewed and translated the research of academics. Empirical studies typically focused on targets. See the collection of WBI empirical studies.
A predictable pattern emerged from combining the anecdotal with empirical data. Bullied targets need to know the experience is survivable! In these Tutorials, we provide an abbreviated guide to allow targets to make choices that minimize damage to their health.
The two takeaway messages are: (1) you are not alone, and (2) nothing you did is responsible for the misery to which you are subjected.
So, read, study, and make informed decisions based on the reality of Workplace Bullying.
As of August 2026, the Drs. Namie have stepped aside.
