Lynching at Work

"Lynching at work" refers to a harmful and often violent act where individuals or groups are targeted, usually by colleagues or peers, in a way that resembles historical lynchings. This term describes situations where someone is publicly humiliated, ostracized, or bullied, often fueled by racial, gender, or other biases. It reflects a toxic workplace culture where employees feel threatened and powerless. Such behavior not only damages individual morale but can also impact overall company performance, leading to a hostile environment that stifles diversity, inclusion, and productivity. Addressing this issue is crucial for fostering a safe and respectful workplace.
