Es bien sabido que la energía eléctrica es un servicio básico e indispensable para el desarrollo humano, incluido el empleo, la seguridad, la producción de alimentos, entre otros.

First of all, let me introduce some concepts:

Bullying is a systematic campaign of interpersonal destruction that jeopardizes your health, your career, the job you once loved. Bullying is a non-physical, non-homicidal form of violence and, because it is violence and abusive, emotional harm frequently results.And the Workplace bullying as «repeated, health-harming mistreatment, verbal abuse, or conduct which is threatening, humiliating, intimidating, or sabotage that interferes with work, or some combination of the three».
