It started as just picking on but it's getting worse. What would you do in a situation like this?

Everyone else has noticed it by now but are keeping quiet.

Ask the team leader if there is a problem with work or performance. That should be enough to stop the bullying. If not, keep a log of it (date, time, incident) and take it to the team leaders supervisor after 5 or 6 incidents. A manager should not act this way.
FYI, unless the bullying is sexual in nature or based on race, religion, etc. there is no lawsuit here. Personal dislike is not a prohibited reason to bully someone.

what a loser (the bully)! Sounds like he's on a power trip and is maybe insecure with his own position, maybe your friend's better than him in some way and the team leader is jealous.
The above suggestions sound good. First i would say your friend could confront the team leader. Have a word in private, tell the team leader what things he does that upset him. Tell him, it puts him off his work or somethign, doesn't help performance.
If the team leader totally ignores it and there is no change at all, then the only thing is to go to the person above the team leader. If they're any good they should listen to your friend's worries and have a word / tell the team leader off!
If all that doesn't work, tell the person above again and again.
If all that fails (which i would hope is unlikely) then the only way forward is to find a new job or contact a soliciter for advice.
hope it helps.

Your friend should take notes in a diary of the things that are happening. Recording detail is very important. If there is a witness all the better. It is illegal to bully in the workplace and there are several avenues to take. Do they have a Union? If not I would ask the Teamleader to arrange an appointment with their boss and explain to them what has been happening. If that is not successful ther are still things you can do. Email me if these things fail.

File a formal grievance to Human resources and update your resume. You might just have a lawsuit later on.

you want to confer inclusive of your chum. If she really is your chum and a reliable counselor she could recognize a thanks to handle the region in a professional way. merely because he's her son does no longer provide him a loose bypass to act undesirable. you want to imagine about your baby and do the right ingredient.
