Try to talk to him or her and then try to avoid this person as much as you can, if that doesnt work report to the trust supervise of yours and if that doesn't help then report to the upper boss in writing and from now on wards take a small note book and start writing down everytime bully , bully's you. and you need to tell the bully enough is enough. Start finding the same kind of job line near by in case thinks start getting worst. This needs to stop and stand for yourself if not for others.

Oh dear, we thought we left bullying behind us in high school, and it's a shock to find it following us to the work place.
First, keep a log of the bullying. Note the time, places and dates, what happened, and how you feel about it. Try to notice if there's any pattern that you can avoid, and try to be objective about it. Was it your fault? Is it limited to a certain time of day? Was there a trigger that maybe you can remove? This will make you feel better, and it may help you if you need to take legal action. Then again, it may enrage the bully.
If the bully is your boss, it's really difficult. But try to confront the bully, and ask what is bringing about the behavior. If s/he tries to blame you for it, you might have to bring in a superior the next time it happens. But maybe if they realize how you view their behavior, they'll act a little better. Or different, anyway.
In the meantime, keep your head down but your eyes open. See if you can get a transfer within your company. Or see if there are any jobs with other companies. You may not actually take a different job, but it may help to know you have those options.
Talk with other co-workers, too, and see how they view the problem. They might have some good ideas that work for them -- and it may work for you, too. Or they may give you a different perspective. At any rate, it will help to have allies. Bullies often pick on the "loners."
Good luck!

Depends who the bully is.
A colleague: Approach them in private and explain how you feel and ask them to stop. Give it a week if no change approach your line manager and ask him/her to intervene. Explain that you've tried to resolve it yourself.
A manager: Same as above. If no change contact their manager or your Human Resources department if you have one.
Small Company: If you work for a small firm where you work for the owner and he is the one bullying you in reality there's not much you can do here. Have a chat with him/her and find out what their problem is. Try to tackle it. If that fails it's time to look for a new job and talk to a lawyer about suing for constructive dismissal.

Most places will terminate both individuals for fighting, regardless of who started it. It simply isn't tolerated in a civilized work environment. Your best bet would be to report it to your people services department so that it can be investigated and dealt with in the proper manner before anyone loses their temper.
