00:05.450 --> 00:07.620
I want you to recall a time that you

00:07.620 --> 00:10.230
felt mistreated or maybe when you saw a

00:10.230 --> 00:12.670
friend or coworker being treated that

00:12.670 --> 00:15.340
way . Do you remember anyone doing

00:15.340 --> 00:17.660
anything about it or speaking up to

00:17.660 --> 00:20.930
help ? Well at the 3 77 Air base wing

00:20.930 --> 00:23.330
equal opportunity office we are here to

00:23.330 --> 00:26.720
help if you are were or see someone

00:26.730 --> 00:29.300
else being bullied or hazed . But what

00:29.300 --> 00:31.760
constitutes bullying bullying is a

00:31.760 --> 00:34.510
prohibited form of conduct . Acts of

00:34.510 --> 00:36.788
aggression by service members or D . O .

00:36.788 --> 00:39.280
D . Civilian employees with the intent

00:39.290 --> 00:41.457
of harming another . Either physically

00:41.457 --> 00:45.010
or psychologically without purpose . It

00:45.010 --> 00:46.954
may involve the singling out of an

00:46.954 --> 00:49.440
individual from their coworkers or unit

00:49.450 --> 00:51.140
for ridicule because they are

00:51.140 --> 00:54.270
considered different or weak bullying

00:54.270 --> 00:56.460
can be done physically or virtually

00:56.470 --> 00:59.090
like social media . Examples of this

00:59.100 --> 01:00.900
are tripping someone purposely

01:00.910 --> 01:03.460
intimidating junior ranking coworkers

01:03.470 --> 01:05.880
or making berating comments on their

01:05.880 --> 01:08.820
instagram page . And what about hazing ?

01:09.140 --> 01:12.260
Hazing is physically or psychologically

01:12.270 --> 01:15.190
injury or an act that creates a risk of

01:15.200 --> 01:18.160
injury without proper purpose for the

01:18.160 --> 01:20.730
initiation into and mission into

01:20.740 --> 01:23.320
affiliation with change in status or

01:23.320 --> 01:25.330
position within or a condition for

01:25.330 --> 01:27.663
continued membership in an organization .

01:28.040 --> 01:30.110
This is what makes tagging on when

01:30.110 --> 01:31.721
someone earns a promotion so

01:31.721 --> 01:33.820
questionable . Some people have the

01:33.820 --> 01:36.690
tendency to take it too far or another

01:36.690 --> 01:40.220
example would be Miss Garcia who's a GS

01:40.220 --> 01:42.070
seven is made to drink a weird

01:42.070 --> 01:44.140
concoction of leftover items in the

01:44.140 --> 01:47.190
refrigerator because it's tradition and

01:47.200 --> 01:49.367
all newbies have to do it to be a part

01:49.367 --> 01:51.890
of the team according to statistics

01:51.890 --> 01:55.350
from 2020 56% of substantiated

01:55.350 --> 01:58.220
reports were of a physical nature , and

01:58.220 --> 02:01.210
69% of those cases were E

02:01.210 --> 02:04.920
134 time doesn't stop workplace

02:04.920 --> 02:07.150
bullying and hazing , ignoring it

02:07.160 --> 02:09.271
emboldens offenders . And when you do

02:09.271 --> 02:11.760
nothing and try to remain neutral that

02:11.760 --> 02:14.180
condones the behavior , it's better to

02:14.180 --> 02:17.190
do something about it . So if you think

02:17.200 --> 02:19.200
you've been a victim of bullying or

02:19.200 --> 02:22.200
hazing or aren't sure , come talk to us
