The guidelines, to be implemented in June, will require employers to set rules on reprimanding workers who commit power harassment, or work-related bullying, as well as offer consultation services for harassed workers.

The end of an era.

So they’ve now got guidelines requiring the creation of more guidelines?

The problem is as good as solved then!

Already dealing too frequently with a co-worker who starts screeching "power-hara" in situations that are nothing more than a disagreement about office policy. Forcing companies to adopt power harassment policies may help a small handful of workers who are genuinely abused. It's also going to enable a legion of workplace ankle-biters who are bitter that their more competent colleagues get listened to more often. I would not be at all surprised if many companies run into more workplace trouble, not less, because of these policies.
