I'm surprised by Amy's response to the first LW. She handled a similar question about a month ago, and several people wrote in to explain that unless the bullying is biased and in violation of a protected class status (race, sex, religion, etc.) there's no recourse for employees. Indeed, an H.R. worker told Amy that H.R. is there to protect the employer, not the employee. For those who don't know, bullying is completely legal in the U.S. Yes, legal. As long as it's equal opportunity (as it appears to be in this case) there's nothing you can do. The Workplace Bullying Institute has a lot of info on the topic. They've been trying for years to pass legislation to protect workers. Some states have gotten as far as the ballot, but it has failed to pass. Passing workplace protections would have teeth in addressing bias (gender, race, etc.) as well as provide EVERYONE with the right to a hostility-free work environment. Hopefully, more people will get on board.
