How would you respond if someone in your company is bullying you.

I don't think it's right for a co-worker to make a fellow employee feel uncomfortable in their own workplace. I think it's actually really unfair. You should be able to work out your problems instead of continue to feel uncomfortable in the place you're trying to earn a living. I think other co-workers who see this type of behavior going on...they should step up and say something to the management. I realize most people who see abusive behavior at a workplace don't want to report it because they might somehow get implicated in it. I think the way I would respond to someone bullying someone else at a place I worked at...I would most likely try to say something to the person who was the bully. If the behavior continued past that and no one was willing to do anything.... I would say something to the management hoping they would do something whether it be punishment or just a warning. If they did not do anything then I would possibly say something to them myself... The only thing I wouldn't do is say something to put my job in jeopardy. I've been bullied a lot at several places of employment so I know how it feels to be left with almost no self esteem and feeling terrible about myself. There were countless times that I didn't fight back and I regret that now. I wish I would have stood up for myself and said something to the people who bullied me. But I didn't and that's why I feel that if I saw someone getting bullied, I'd say something to the appropriate person. Hopefully from that some discipline would be applied to the bully. I don't tolerate bullying at all around me. I think it's just a tactic used by people who believe that they are superior than other people. They use fear and domination to get what they want and they don't care who they hurt to get it. They care only about themselves and their own selfish needs. They get some sort of satisfaction from making people feel smaller than they are. It really makes me sick when I see this happen. So, in conclusion, I think bullying is wrong and when I have had to confront it in the workplace I have a tendency to say something. Whether it be to management or to the bully themselves, I will say something to them. I can only hope it's enough to get them to make a change or for them to stop. Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

we must understand that these bullies have bigger problems inside that they tried to hide by putting off an offensive stance, a display of strength. but mind you these bullies have weaknesses too and touch them and they'll cry like a baby. i don't suggest though that you do that in an act of revenge or retaliation. know the cause so that you may be able to help these people. you may never know they've been suffering from these issues since they are a kid so it must have been tough on them.

Well maybe you should not let yourself be bullied by someone else especially if your position in the company is the same. But if the person with the higher position is the one bullying you, then don't fight back at first but if it is getting worst, fight back as long as your in the position to do so.

I would go to the human resources dept and Talk to them about the situation. Most company's have policy's about creating a hostile work enviorment. They are usually required to keep this discussion confidential and i'll bet it will be adressed. Tolerating a hostile work enviorment makes them liable for poor work performance,Safety and Mental Stability. They will adress it! Good Luck!!

I would not take their crap at all. A bully is a jerk who has low self esttem and feeds off of others misery nad hurt. I would not even give them the satisfaction. No one should have to put up with that.
