We often think bullying looks like one bad moment.
But in reality, it is dozens of small ones, left unaddressed.
It starts quietly.
A dismissive tone.
A missed break.
A crew member interrupted one too many times.
No one flags it, because it does not look serious.
Until it is.
Through our research, we found:
- 73% of those who felt conduct on a production set was low said safety protocols were not followed either. Respect and rule adherence break together.
- 60% of cast and crew who felt unsupported said they did not feel safe speaking up either. Unsupported people do not just go quiet, they shut down.
These results did not appear because of one incident. These are the results of a pattern.
The truth is, bullying does not show up unannounced.
It gives you signs. Small ones.
And when they are missed, people do not speak up, they step back.
That is not about policy.
It is about culture.
Save our guide with early signs that you can spot before they escalate.
