What is upward bullying at the workplace?

Upward bullying is a further kind of bullying that employees direct against managers. The ultimate goal of upward bullying is for the supervisor to leave his or her position. Employees try to achieve this by spreading rumors or withholding information, for example.

Upward bullying is usually less obvious and occurs less frequently than bullying among colleagues or bossing. Upward bullying occurs, for example, when employees withhold information from their boss or share it too late, talk behind his or her back or make fun of this person.
