When I first went to work, there used to be what they called 'Sergeant's' at the gate's. I alway's assumed they were retired military men. They could be very intimidating to young office girl's, asking for a cuddle and pulling you on to their lap's. Not all of them were this way, but I experienced some of this. As you say Brenda, being young and naive didn't help. Other than that I don't remember any bullying until I went back to office work in the 1980's and 90's, then I saw a real change of attitude in the workplace, and was often found myself coming home in tear's because of bullying.
