Workplace impacts of COVID-19 stress with our colleagues.
We may have enjoyed a close relationship with our colleagues prior to COVID-19, but experiencing isolated environments can create heightened emotions, including a great fear of becoming ill from colleagues.
Fear is a powerful emotion and can lead to a lack of self-governing abilities, called amygdala hijack, which is named for the affected part of our primal brain when emotion takes over from logic.

When this occurs, the potential for skewed perceptions of bullying is great. It can disrupt our workplaces and reduce the effectiveness of work teams, and ultimately our output.
