Factory Worker's Build 

A body type characterized by a muscular frame, with defined arms, legs, chest and ass, but with excess stomach fat and no abdominal strength to speak of. This is due to excessive use of the lifting muscles, leaving them large and toned, but a poor diet and stress that causes a 'beer gut'-like stomach. This build is typcally seen on factory workers, as they lift and move heavy equpient during long shifts at the factory all week, then eat and drink away the stress at night and on weekends
After four years working all day at the Goodyear tire plant and drinking with his collge buddies all night, John developed a bit of a factory worker's build.

Workplace bullying 

A very specific form of bullying which is often misunderstood.

It is bullying that happens in a workplace, however the method of the bullying is much different to what you're usual idea of bullying would be.

It can involve multiple perpetrators attacking the victim in the one workplace, or it could be caused by one perpetrator at each place that the victim works at in their life.

Often workplace bullying doesn't end at one place of work, but continues by other perpetrators at the victim's subsequent workplaces.

One method is to make the victim feel as though people are spreading malicious gossip about the victim when they are not.

Another tactic is to undermine work performance by deliberately withholding information vital for effective work performance.

Sometimes the bullying may in the form of ostracism.
