The presence of depersonalised bullying during organisational change, highlighted through empirical research on lay‐off procedures in I ndia's information technology sector, underscores the rhetoric of unitarist human resource management and reinforces the importance of union action and co‐worker mobilisation. The findings support the emergent view that collectivisation is the only solution to workplace bullying.
