Sexism, bullying & distrust: Inside Westminster's HR crisis

Bullying

John Bercow himself has come under fire for a different HR issue - bullying.

“Bullying and harassment in the workplace can include verbal aggression or yelling, isolation, an unrealistic workload, continuous criticism of a person and/or their work, constantly interfering and dictating and continuous ill treatment,” Linda James, Founder and CEO of Bullies Out, told HR Grapevine.

Bercow allegedly shouted at his former private secretary, undermined her in front of other staff, and left her unable to continue working in her post.
