Mobbing analysis: How do I find out if I am being bullied?
Mobbing at the workplace shows many faces: whether whispering or gossiping behind one's own back or that of a colleague, whether controlling boss or discrediting one's own work management - in any case, mobbing can make you ill or permanently worsen your attitude to work. Since many mobbing victims are consequently rarely aware of their victim role, everyday reprisals and unpleasant situations should first be written down by the potential mobbing victim and evaluated in the next step. This works, for example, with the helpful bullying analysis tool of the free bullying calculator, which will be described in more detail in the following sections.

From the resulting total score, the mobbing calculator then independently calculates the respective score, which can be assigned to a corresponding tendency for mobbing at your workplace.

Guidance: How you should respond to potential bullying
In principle, you should free yourself from your victim role and take countermeasures, insofar as this is possible. Therefore, bullying in the workplace should definitely be reported to your supervisor. For example, the boss is subject to the duty of care under labor law towards the respective employee. This must consequently put an immediate stop to the mobber - e.g. in the form of warnings or termination without notice. The potential mobbing victims themselves should also take sides and not become passive.
Here are three different mobbing strategies to choose from:
- ignore
- attack
- retreat
If you ignore the possible mobbing attacks, then you thwart the plan of your mobber in any case, because you show him the cold shoulder and do not let yourself be attacked by him personally. If you decide on the other hand for an attack on the mobber, then you look for yourselves best potential allies in your colleague circle and place you the mobber in this to the speech - if necessary you request the support of the work council. Finally, the alternative is to terminate your employment relationship or to take legal action through a lawyer.
The score of the mobbing calculator calculates the tendency to mobbing in your work environment.
The total score, which is made up of your individual entries in the bullying calculator, provides information about the potential presence of bullying in your workplace. The lower the total score, the lower the tendency for bullying to occur in your workplace - so you may be able to live with a low total score. However, if the total score is high, you may be experiencing actual bullying in your workplace, and you should take action to address it using the options above.
