Friday is International Stand Up to Bullying Day.

A study from the Workplace Bullying Institute indicates that the phenomenon does not end after school; it harms more than 50 million adults nationwide, or 32% of Americans in the workforce.

The topic is often taboo, but author Andy Regal chose to write about it because he’s a survivor. His book is called “Surviving Bully Culture: A Career Spent Navigating Workplace Bullying and a Guide for Healing.”
