Bullying doesn't just happen to children. It can occur to anyone at anytime, anyplace. The workplace has been known to harbor bullying among employees. Whether it's your boss, or a co worker, bullying in the workplace can make your job miserable. Try reporting your situation to the Human Resources Department. Or if you want to try to care of the harassment yourself, here are some handy tips:
-Ask a trusted mentor what they would do in your situation
-Confront the bully in a professional way; you don't want to sink to their level. Crying, or showing any other form of weakness will only fuel the bully. That is the type of reaction they're looking for.
-Complete your work well. The bully is hoping you will fail at your job. If you prove them wrong, you will defeat them.
-Alert superiors of what you're working on. The bully might try and spread rumors and gossip that you are slacking on the job. If you make sure people know the truth about what you're working on, you will protect your reputation as a good worker.
- The bully could try and isolate you from you peers, so keep up your relationships with office co workers.
