Another Reason to Hate Bullies
Check this out: according to a survey performed in the UK, literally 2-3 billion dollars are lost annually to bullying in the workplace, primarily as a result of victims/workers avoiding work to avoid the jerks that torment them.

But, candidly, I had no idea that bullying, which is not actionable as a legal claim unless it reaches the real extreme (e.g., intentional infliction of emotional distress), is a major impediment to workplace productivity.
