I highly recommend Janice Harper's book, "Mobbing" because of her detailed description of mobbing dynamics in the workplace. She's a cultural antropologist with a biological approach, so she had the skills required to analyse and write about her experience.
During question period at a presentation on workplace mobbing at UQAM in 2015, I brought up the notion that online social networks could simulate an organizational structure and produce similar effects in open systems such as a community. I asked the presenter if it was possible to solve workplace mobbing without attacking the problem at the community level. She agreed with my point--most emphatically! The video of that particular conference was posted online WITH THE SOUND PORTION ERASED just as the question period began. I had been encouraged by someone I knew to attend that conference. I smelled a fish, but went anyway. This outcome didn't surprise me, nor did the hurried exit by 3 or 4 individuals right after my question (the second of many). I had been openly condemning public mobbing in the months prior to ths and was well known for this.

This happens much more often than we think.
