'They're not employed to be nice! You don't have a 'nice' manager.'

"I don't like Clive! Why have I got to take him?! He's a pain in the rear!" Nick snapped back.

"I don't want to talk to him! He's boring!"

Ms Howard went on "Excluding one colleague because you don't like them could be an act of bullying under your employer's rules."

Nick pointed out the flaws of the rule yet again, insisting that he may not want to speak to his hypothetical colleague Clive because "he's boring."

"You do have to be sensitive," Ms Howard concluded.
