Excluding		intentionally excluding an individual from group activities both in terms of work discussions and decisions as well as work-related events
Being set up to fail		being economical with the truth or lying in order for the bully to get their own way
Finding fault		giving unwarranted constant criticism of the victim’s work or behaviour. This can either be on a one to one basis or by the bully making belittling comments about the victim’s work in a group setting, for example during meetings
Flattery		purposely avoiding or not paying attention to the victim. Will often include talking to those around them but deliberately not acknowledging or including the victim in that conversation
Ignoring		Responsibility being taken away or changing the victim’s work role with no reasonable reason being given
Lying		being overly complimentary and flattering to someone in order to gain their trust with the goal being that they will then lower their guard and be more receptive to further manipulative behaviour
Never knowing where you stand		setting impossible targets or changing expectations when a task is already started or nearing completion. Can also include purposely keeping information from the victim or omitting to provide necessary information
Baseless shifting of responsibility		the victim is unsure of where they stand due to the bully having frequent mood swings and changing emotions
