Survey sheds light on bullying and discrimination at Max Planck Society
Thousands of researchers asked about working culture following public reports of bullying
One in ten scientists working at Germany’s Max Planck Society have experienced bullying in the last 12 months, an organisation-wide survey has indicated.
This number increases to one in five when the time period is extended beyond the past year, and other responses highlight problems with the organisational culture such as sex-based discrimination and a poor work-life balance.
