Moral harassment is characterized by continuous humiliating conduct, with the aim of attacking the physical and psychological integrity of the harassed person. In this case, abusive practices are intrinsically present in the work environment, so they are used to achieve goals, consequently profitability, or even to pressure the employee as a strategy, aiming to put him in a situation of submission, intimately reaching the employee. your personality and often making you resign. It can happen through gestures, words, actions or omissions, but always with the objective of oppressing so that the company can have promising results. These behaviors originate from the moment when the worker feels inferior or embarrassed by any comment made, putting him at risk. The phenomenon of bullying can also happen in the opposite way, that is, from the employee to the employer or even from an employee to his co-worker at the same hierarchical level. The present work aims to address how bullying behaves before Brazilian society, demonstrating the risks and possible diseases acquired as a result of harassment, and above all the existing legislation to curb such abusive practices.

The article is defined as a descriptive academic research, of bibliographic and documentary nature, because it describes the phenomenon approached using as a technique the research in documents positivated by the Brazilian jurisdiction.
