Despite the anti-bullying policies (often token), bullying is rife across campuses, and the victims (targets) often pay a heavy price. "Nothing strengthens authority as much as silence."

Consider, for example, your commments: "its such a lousy place to work" (short for "it is", therefore you should be using it's) ditto, "its official". "wonder if they would of sanctioned it" (you are using a past tense here so it should read "would have" not "would of") "their trawling through" (their is the plural possessive pronoun, what you intended to say was they're - short for they are) "if your not" (as above, this time "your" is a singular possessive pronoun, used instead of the correct you're, short for you are) I would suggest that you concern yourself less with staff bullying and more with what your lack of knowledge of basic English does to the poor so and so who, in addition to being bullied rotten, has to deal with the misery of marking your illiterate maunderings. Frankly, you really don’t need to worry about the state of Sheffield Hallam’s academics - your abysmal grasp of SPAG rather suggests that you wouldn’t get a job there anyway.

Consider, for example, your commments:
“its such a lousy place to work” (short for “it is”, therefore you should be using it’s) ditto, “its official”.
“wonder if they would of sanctioned it” (you are using a past tense here so it should read “would have” not “would of”)
“their trawling through” (their is the plural possessive pronoun, what you intended to say was they’re - short for they are)
“if your not” (as above, this time “your” is a singular possessive pronoun, used instead of the correct you’re, short for you are)

I would suggest that you concern yourself less with staff bullying and more with what your lack of knowledge of basic English does to the poor so and so who, in addition to being bullied rotten, has to deal with the misery of marking your illiterate maunderings.

Try getting a job outside the sector then see how bullied you are. Truth is, the reason many of the staff at Hallam (and I understand this is not confined to Hallam) are overworked is that 80% of the staff are carrying a significant minority who simply refuse to accept that life has moved on from the lazy days of the 70's. Management's failure to address this issue leads to "bullying" by hard-working colleagues who are sick to death with having to sort out the shit left behind by these wasters. “bullied, harrangued or belittled at Hallam” - oh just grow up!
