Downing Street and Prime Minister Gordon Brown have become embroiled in a row over bullying in the workplace after it was alleged calls were made to a bullying helpline from Number 10.

But what do you think constitutes bullying in the workplace?

Is a boss who shouts at underachieving staff, perhaps even swearing, a bully?

Of is shouting commonplace in offices, newsrooms and shops, and simply an indication that someone cares about their job?

Or are we all victims of bullying and take abusive behaviour too readily in the workplace?

Should bosses be brought to account more often for attacking staff, either verbally or physically?

Perhaps employees should toughen up and expect to be called on poor performance by their boss, whatever manner they express their disappointment in?
