Taking action against bullies at work

Many states also have state level coordinators that deal with bullying in workplace. These are not government employees, but rather individuals who voluntarily are taking a stand and are trying to get legislation passed to eliminate bullying at work. They have some good ideas on how to deal with bullies. If your state doesn’t have one, you may consider becoming a coordinator yourself.

There is help out there. Don’t just deal with it. Find a way to get help before this becomes a problem that leads to either physical or emotional damage.

If you have made every effort to get along with someone and still are being belittled, embarrassed or even humiliated, you are being bullied. If it happens at work, you are experiencing workplace bullying. Usually, the only reason why someone would resort to making disparaging comments aimed directly at you is self serving. They see the opportunity of advancing their own interests by exerting emotional power against you in a situation where they will not be reprimanded for their bullying behavior.

The bully is directing his spiteful behavior that might include back stabbing, manipulating others to comply with his attacks on you, and publically humiliating you for one reason, he is being encouraged in his sub human behaviors by a workplace attitude that encourages and does not stop his attacks. The bully could be your boss. The office bully could have connections with powerful individuals who are controlling who works and who doesn’t in that office.
