When Good Things Happen To Bad People: Disturbing News About Workplace Bullies

It was only through the continued and self sacrificing efforts of Dr Michael Cole that Professor William Tarnow Mordi was stood down from clinical work and prevented from treating and harming any further babies at Westmead Hospital in Sydney Australia. The management at Westmead Hospital tried hard to silence Dr Cole and cover up the problem.


The University of Sydney made Tarnow Mordi a Professor of Neonatology in about 1999 even though he lacked competence as a Neonatologist. 


How is it possible, then, that even after Tarnow Mordi was stood down from treating babies, the University of Sydney promoted Tarnow Mordi and made him Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology as well, two further areas in which Tarnow Mordi has no clinical competence?


Is there something wrong with the University of Sydney? 

Article By Gary Belsky     In Time Business and Money   May 21, 2013


As if life isn’t unfair enough for the alarming number of people who are bullied at work--or otherwise adversely affected by such behavior—recent research suggests that a lot of workplace bullies achieve high levels of career success. In fact, their bullying and on-the-job achievements might just be related.

That’s according to a new study (“Political Skill and the Job Performance of Bullies”) in the most recent issue of the Journal of Managerial Psychology, the first attempt to examine the correlation between bullying and job performance.

Many if not most are allowed to keep abusing colleagues because their bosses aren’t aware of their behavior . .. or because the bullies are good at masking their behavior and/or fooling their superiors.

The bottom line? A lot of bullies are keen analyzers and manipulators of social dynamics and reputations; they are highly political animals, with finely tuned antennae that allow them to identify and abuse their victims without anyone else noticing. “Due to their social competence,” the authors write, “[bullies] are able to strategically abuse coworkers and yet be evaluated positively by their supervisor.”

More galling, though, is the revelation that a significant portion of these politically “gifted” workplace thugs exercise their malevolent skills for fun and profit—that is, for their own career advancement: “Many bullies are very socially skilled,” the authors write, “and use their bullying behavior strategically to coerce others into providing them the resources needed to achieve their work-related objectives.”

It’s an especially insidious cycle: The results of workplace intimidation, harassment, and other forms of bullying are often enough jobs well done, which lead not to rebuke but rather to strong reviews, pay raises, and even promotions. “Bullies often leverage the fear and intimidation of their behavior to achieve their personal goals and improve their job performance”. 

Any of those outcomes, of course, only serve to embolden the bully and imperil the bullied, which is yet another reason for victims to speak out.
