From ‘Are Women Queen Bees’ in Psychology Today (Oct. 1, 2016)<\/p><\/div>\n

Over the past few years, there\u2019s been a lot of attention paid to the topic of bad behaviour in the modern workplace. Often, it\u2019s taken the form of sexual harassment of women by men \u2026 but according to a recent study, it\u2019s often garden-variety harassment of women by other women<\/em>. In fact, according to this recent article<\/a>, two-thirds of women have been bullied by another woman at work<\/strong>. Some of this may be related to the “Queen Bee Syndrome<\/a>” which is well known among teenage girls, or the movie Mean Girls<\/a>.\u00a0 Maybe this is a downside of gender equity, women are at least as guilty of bad workplace behaviour as their male counterparts are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I\u2019ve seen evidence of female bullies<\/a> in businesses, government, and non-profit organizations. It is agonizing to live through as the victim \u2013 or hear about after the fact. Whatever the context, workplace bullying exists when someone with more privilege and power harasses someone with less privilege and power.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bad behaviour spreads<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This type of bad behaviour is terrible in its own right. What\u2019s even worse is that by accepting this type of\u00a0incivility<\/a> and workplace\u00a0bullying\/harassment<\/a>\u00a0in an organization it encourages it to spread.<\/span><\/p>\n

I understand that there are many factors that encourage people to keep quiet or look away in the presence of bullying or harassment. For example, this protects the reputations of the victims who do not want to be labelled\u00a0as trouble-makers. In other situations, it\u2019s easier for a business owner, leader, or HR person to let the victim give up and leave the organization than it is to reign in the bully\/harasser. In other cases, the silence and indifference are mostly about the complicity<\/a>\u00a0of the witness(es) who could and should have been better allies. Their silence in the face of harassment and the abuse of power isn\u2019t something to be proud of.<\/span><\/p>\n

The updated\u00a0Ontario anti-harassment legislation<\/a>\u00a0does offer some guidance and relief to the people who are brave and motivated enough to try to make the workplace safer and fairer<\/span><\/p>\n

All that glitters is not gold<\/strong> \u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Queen<\/a>Ironically, I have seen situations where a female bully has talked the talk but didn\u2019t walk the walk. For example, a female bully may say things or take positions that make them seem like supporters of gender equality or feminism. For instance, they said the \u2018right\u2019 things during the\u00a0Jian Ghomeshi trial<\/a>, they attend annual\u00a0International Women\u2019s Day<\/a>\u00a0events, or confess that they have experienced problems associated with the #MeToo movement<\/a>. It\u2019s extremely disappointing to see those women who outwardly speak of being allies who are fighting to end violence against women perpetrating emotional violence against another woman. It\u2019s also more complicated to hold these women to account because of the mismatch between their words and their actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, in the interest of gender equality, it\u2019s time for men<\/a>\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0women to consider doing more to create safe, respectful and inclusive organizations and organizational cultures. Men aren\u2019t the only ones who should be expected to be good organizational citizens. Women should hold other women to that same standard instead of turning away and pretending not to see what\u2019s happening or declining to respond even when they are advised in writing.<\/span><\/p>\n
