The Anatomy of Assholes (2020)

I've read that in some countries bullying and workplace harassment are considered group dynamics, rather than the product of individual bullies which makes sense to me.

It seems to fit your example and I think it provides some useful frames for thinking about this and how to improve things.

To some extend this is the case in France.

People are going to "probe" you with some more or less controversial claims or comments and see how you will behave. This is part of the culture and is honestly tiring.

I would not call it "bullying" yet, but it is still a violent way to probe someone's character.

In my experience with organisations, it is the people with the most agency (i.e. leaders and their cliques) who set the standard for those group dynamics.

If you get bullied by your boss, you can count on others joining in.
