Once bully behaviors are established and go unchecked, the organizational culture will change from the intended mission and cherished organizational memories and stories to those of crisis management and memories of bully events and their outcome. The chaos that bullies create causes those in authority to accept most bully-type behavior because those in authority become desperate to return order to the performance-based and time-oriented academic environment. Acceptance of bullying is the rule in mechanistic environments so that productivity can return to normal and curriculums delivered. Often bully events are not managed unless they become outrageous, dangerous, or gain public recognition. Much like a teacher or a parent raising their voice over a poorly managed classroom environment to accommodate the noise while trying to be productive, bully events may become just part of the chaos until the teacher establishes control over the learning environment.
