I have often found, in my professional life, that some of the worst bullies I came across believed that they were above such behavior and seemed to assume that their approach was a form of "constructive criticism." It worries me that he is therefore "responsible for the anti bullying strategy within our organisation"

I certainly would not like to see the thread closed due to his attitude as the staff effected will need all our support as I understand that many are employed by a third party who has no incentive to help them find alternative employment within VM.
Bullying and reacting to rudeness are two completely different things.

You are correct in your understanding about the position of employees working in an outsourced capacity.

I didn't know that Masque! I think it's a really good idea to have a private place on the forum for VM staff to privately air views that may not necessarily
be appropriate in the public domain. Are those working for VM via agencies allowed to join, or is it just for staff directly employed by VM?
