Mobbing: Emotional Abuse in the American Workplace
Review by Eleanor White
January 30, 2005

Quote from the back cover of this book, which summarizes the book's subject:

"An insidious and powerful subculture is thriving in the American workplace. Every day, in all sorts of workplaces, mean spirited mobs [groups of co-workers] are forcing capable, hard working employees to flee from jobs they love. Despite historic successes of unions and civil- and human-rights movements, and the best efforts of enlightened managers, millions of Americans suffer the dignity- robbing trauma now known as mobbing.

"Mobbing extracts staggering economic and emotional costs from victims, their families and society. In many cases, the victims are literally mobbed by co-workers, not only old-fashioned bullying bosses. Many of the victims are managers and supervisors, attacked or undermined by jealous or unscrupulous subordinates or peers, often with approval of higher management. The mobs intentionally target -- and ultimately destroy -- innocent individuals."
