I seen a guy who worked at my company be bullied (by my boss) to the point he couldnt sleep, he was having chest pains, he would cry at work... I didnt get bullied because I'm quite aggressive he did and he wasnt the type of person to stand up for himself, he was undermined, pushed around, driven to breaking point... I dont think telling people to toughen up is an attitude I would like my country to take.
People are entitled to some basic protection, it isnt always easy for these people to free themselves. if they were the kind of person to just say "ah screw it" and get another job, they wouldnt bullied in the first place.
I guess all the hard men who want to call the victims of bullying weak and tell them to toughen up are pretty lucky - since they never been a victim of that sort of behaviour.
