I'm glad you've had a positive experience: everyone deserves a respectful work environment, both because it's the Right Thing to do and because it improves productivity.
That said, you're countering a researched article, and the experiences of the vast majority of people in this thread, with...your anecdatum.
Does it seem that absurd to suggest that, wherever you put an abusive person in a position of power with much at stake, abuse happens regardless of setting?
I for one couldn't tell whether the poster you're responding to is writing sarcastically or not. ("Most people are vegan" really?)

The article claims the following:
> For example, a recent large survey-based Swedish study (with 38 918 participants) on academic bullying revealed that 1 in 15 people have experienced academic bullying over the past years
I'd be shocked if the number of workers experiencing workplace bullying in industry is much less than "1 in 15"...
