harrassment in the workplace?

Definately not! In fact, all workplaces should have a harrasment policy in place. Check out the employee handbook and follow procedures to voice a complaint or deal with it. I think it's helpful to tell the person how you feel and if they continue, this should be addressed with upper management. Nobody should have to feel belittled. I had an experience at my workplace with a new supervisor. I felt like nothing I did was good enough and started questioning myself. Until I realized I had done a great job for years before she was hired and she needed me to look back to make her look good. I addressed my concerns with her, which of course didn't do a thing. I then went to upper management. It took several months, but she did get fired. I don't think over my situation entirely, but it was an eye opener that she had other things she was doing that weren't correct. Good Luck!

No, I don't think it's right. That is truly what pisses me off the most. I made a discussion before about co-workers/classmates/people who tend to do this and asked how people deal with this. I try to ignore them if they're somewhat important. If it gets bad I'll just be a little mean and sarcastic but tone it down. I wouldn't want to leave a bad impression on a boss or manager. But it's extremely unfair someone would act so childish and get away with it no penalty. But if this was out of work, they sure as hell won't get away with it with me ;)

Heavens no! And I think they need to be reported each and every time it happens. I hope something very serious is done about this. I hope you will keep us posted.

No, it's not. Regardless what, bully is not something you can tolerate with. People who bully want to show others that they have power and control over others. You can go along with their attitude. Say 'no' when you don't want to and don't do something just to please him/her.

what kind of work is that? the only workplace i know that pats bullies on the back is the military. or better, in some terrorist organization.

Dear friend It is not right for co-worker but same time you are going out for job and sometime you have to face harrasment by your boss and Seniors. It is true. But try to learn how to manage your boss and seniors. It is an art and you have to learn this attitude. Above all for money you have adjust yourself or otherwise quit the job if it is hurting your ego.
