Episode 66: When Employees Bully Leaders: Unpacking Reverse Bullying and What to Do About It
In this powerful episode of Don’t Waste the Chaos, Kerri Roberts exposes a leadership issue most avoid: reverse bullying. While we often hear about managers mistreating employees, Kerri flips the narrative—revealing what happens when subordinates bully up the chain.
With personal stories, two legal case studies (including the Laura Händel and Ruffley cases), and real-world strategies, Kerri unpacks how reverse bullying unfolds, what it costs your organization, and how to reclaim authority as a leader. If you’ve ever felt manipulated, isolated, or falsely accused by someone you manage—this episode is your wake-up call.
