What corrective action(s) should be taken where there is presumed bullying in the work place and EEO law cannot be applied (race, age, gender, religion, disability, etc.)?

In the military workplace, PO3 Camille Romero, this is a relatively easy answer: Use the chain of command, get leadership involved, address the issue.

In the corporate or completely civilian world, I would think the same approach might work: Get management involved, file a complaint with HR (?). Even if EEO law doesn't apply, there must be rules of conduct in the workplace, and it's up to management to enforce those rules and ensure people are not (in your example) bullied.

There's my two cents' worth of opinion on the subject.

First off TELL THEM to STOP second use your chain of command. Remember you are your first line of defence. If they don't know they are offending you then you are allowing the behavior.
