Re: W(ork)R - WWYD?
I translated WR as wedding related and am sad that it's not.
On a related note: I'd encourage those who can to speak up to themselves to bossman, and if they are too chicken, I would go to bossman on my own and without naming names explain why others won't bring it up.
They need to go to the boss themselves. Because you weren't directly involved (just hearing what they had to say afterwards), I wouldn't take on their battles. We have a situation similar to that heree, in that coirker is just truly mean and nasty. I have only said something to my boss when I've experienced it directly with her (and after trying to handle on my own with no results).
My coworkers experience it too, but won't say a word about it to our bosses for whatever reason (not wanting to deal with confrontation, or whatever). To me if enough people go to the boss with their concerns about how they're being treated, that would carry a lot more weight (and show a trend) than if it's the same one person always speaking up. Your coworkers need to grow a pair.
Would it make a difference that I did hear one of the co-workers get yelled at (she's two desks down for me)?
I have (and will continue to) encourage both coworkers to speak up for themselves and to tell bossman. I also let former intern know that if he ever calls him names (which she has done to other people in the past) that he needs to let bossman know ASAP.

I agree with PSU.
I think that you could go to the boss about the one that you experienced, but I wouldn't put myself in the middle of the other stuff, that i just opening up yourself to being put into a position that you don't want to be in.
Thanks all. I'm going to keep quiet for now, but I will keep encouraging them to talk to bossman. Particularly, if they keep coming to me to vent/cry.
