In this much-anticipated deep dive, the Judgemental team unpacks the complexities of “reasonable management action” through the lens of a fascinating 2014 Fair Work Commission case. The episode centres on an application to stop workplace bullying—brought not by a subordinate, but by a manager who claimed her team was targeting her with unreasonable bullying allegations and that she lacked support from higher management.

The episode centres on an application to stop workplace bullying—brought not by a subordinate, but by a manager who claimed her team was targeting her with unreasonable bullying allegations and that she lacked support from higher management.
This case raises compelling questions about what constitutes unreasonable behaviour, how bullying is defined in a legal context, and the broader implications for psychosocial risk and workplace health and safety.
As always, Greg brings his sharp legal analysis, while Kate explores the psychological dimensions, offering listeners a rich, multidimensional perspective. With their contrasting yet complementary viewpoints, this episode is sure to spark thoughtful reflection on the evolving landscape of workplace dynamics and psychosocial risk.
