You might be surprised what people will do for a dollar. Are you valuable to the company? Do you have any leverage? If so, it shouldn't be too hard to get shite in order. If not, well I guess you'd post on TD about it.

The bottom line is you need to be happy with your job. If the work environment just isn't going to change, then you need to suck it up and move on.

Well, it is their company, isn’t it?

Bullies hate being ignored. They aren't worth your time or effort. Small-minded and ignorant.

Ok I think you're going a little overboard with the not taking of any shite.

Always log down events, copy and file emails, texts, memos, and immediately write down verbal assaults with comments, date, time, location, setting, and who was in attendance.

Don't let them give you verbal only directives, projects, solutions, etc. Always follow up with a written confirmation outlining clearly the discussion, and require them to confirm, or alter with an email. Copy and file those emails.

Know your shite, and know it better than them. Then challenge them, or stand up to their harassing you with information, sound logic, and sound solutions that you can backup with data.

Have an open and direct talk and call them out directly in a professional manner. If you are indeed being targeted then gather all info, and proof of targeting/bullying and get a top labor lawyer.


But, make sure you are honest with yourself and make sure you are not the actual problem

You got to call him out I took a job a couple years ago ,where I came in as a supervisor over ten men. They were all cool except one( a fat frick) I tried being extra nice to him for the first month but he just kept talking shite to me in front of the other men. Finally one day I had enough didn’t care if I lost my job , I got him by his self and I asked what did I do to him to be so ugly to me. He just said he didn’t like me I said well “ why don’t we meet up after work down road , nobody else needs to know and we can settle this” he declined I told him if he ever talked shite to me again I was going to be pork chops off his fat arse. He quit the following month

Have you considered eating ashes like bread and mingling your drink with weeping? As info, I’m team “bully” based on the limited info provided to date.
