Is it possible that other nations have gotten sadder than the US with this PC / SJW stuff? (disregard France of course, they're in a league of their own)

I hate the PC/SJW stuff just as much as anyone, but I also hate people who just make up conclusions and put them on webpages for clicks, as well as those who can't read the source material to verify what happened.

The accused woman did specific things to impede her 'enemy' at work, like not delivering her photocopies/printouts, not displaying her properties in the window as usual, calling her a "naughty little school girl running to the teacher" when she complained about it, etc.

Legal experts said the case did not mean that unfriending a colleague on Facebook would automatically constitute bullying.
"The Fair Work Commission didn't find that unfriending someone on Facebook constitutes workplace bullying," Josh Bornstein, a lawyer at the firm Maurice Blackburn, told ABC News.
"What the Fair Work Commission did find is that a pattern of unreasonable behaviour, hostile behaviour, belittling behaviour over about a two-year period, which featured a range of different behaviours including berating, excluding and so on, constituted a workplace bullying."
