This is an excerpt from a yet to be tabled piece of legislation with a definition of bullying form Worksafe BC in Canada where workplace stress (including bullying) is now compensable:

Definition
“bullying and harassment”
(a) includes any inappropriate vexatious conduct or comment by a person towards a worker that the person knew or reasonably ought to have known would cause that worker to be humiliated, offended or intimidated, but
(b) excludes any reasonable action taken by an employer or supervisor relating to the management and direction of workers or the place of employment

It could be possible to say that if you write for a living and work for a company that pays its dues to WorksafeBC you could make a claim that 'vexatious comment by a person' in the form of a review or a few reviews could cause you stress enough to make a claim and take time off work.

Have fun, Jan
