anyone ever been the victim of workplace bullying? please tell what happened and what you did about it?

Answer 1

Yes. They say to go through the proper channels at your job.
But I have never seen them do it right that way. They are always
partial to their own people.
I suggest making some kind of record. Like emails to yourself. Stating the nature of the problem, and that you are trying to deal
with it maturely. Then after a while, if it doesn't stop. File a formal
complaint. Make sure it's sent certified mail so they have to
sign for it, and can't lie and say they didn't know about it.
Try to get a third party involved. I'm working on starting a
protection service because of this stuff. Hopefully, a lawyer
or government organization will help you.
Either way. You're in for a struggle if stand up for yourself. At
least you might get some separation money, once I got sick
of them!

Well its a two edge sword. Means if you don't stand up for yourself then this type of behavior will make your workplace a hell for you and if you do not deal with it properly than you are at risk of being labelled disruptive and non-team players.

1- First assess yourself honestly what are the merits of this case. Weather in any way you started it or at fault? If this kind of behavior is hurting you physically or financially or a source of mental anguish? If this is a temporary problem and will go away with time? What kind of position this person holds in the company?

2- Regardless of how small or high level of problem it is, first step is always to let your superviser know politely. If it is not a big deal you would not even know it, but most of the supervisers quielty let the other person aware of their awareness of the matter and their intolerance towards it in future. Do not call names, cry or being emotional in your complaint. Just be professional and to the point that what is going on and how it is affecting you. Remember, even mental anguish in important for sensible people. If its a small matter written complaint won't help any further but if their is physical / financial / sexual abuse or threat is concerned ( does not mean that it happened ; even your honest concern that it might happen is important) than you should better write a complaint.

3- Most of the time on first instance no significant actions are taken except to let other person know about consequences. People weather they admit it openly or not when confront their superiors for their fault are usually scared of losing job. Couple or three such incidents are enough for such people to get fired. Mainly because that due to their Macho behavior they already have someone in superiors against them and waiting for the right moment. Thats the reason it is important to let superior know without expecting corrective action right away. Key is you do not become emotional, physically or verbally violent yourself.

Remember most of us who are superior to others in life is not because we are better than others but because others make more mistakes than us! Peace.

While working in a nursing home, a LPN took me to a back room and made me to pull up my dress and prove that I was weaing a slip and underwear, because my coworkers said I wasn't. I did nothing, because I was young and did not know my rights. I should have called a lawyer.
