Everybody talks about bullying and the affects it has on our children. Bullying in the work place is just as bad. I have watched good employees being bullied until they quiet or have a mental break down or tried to commit suicide. All at the hand of managers that are not only incompetent but do not hold the qualification to be in the position they’re in. I have watched these people yell, scream, threaten and intimidate people and get worse when there are onlookers watching them but let me tell you what these people watching really think of you. You’re assholes and it’s a crime that good oxygen is being wasted on you. They laugh at your management skills or the lack-there-of and even outsiders can see what jerks you are. You walk around like you own the place and that look at me I’m so important attitude with your lap dog in tow trying to be like you that’s the only reason you keep him is because you can pick on him and make fun of him. You have no business being in the position you’re in and always remember this. You need to remember were you came from just because you made it up that ladder you need to remember it’s a long way down and you may come face to face with the people you step on when you went up. Karma has a way of making things right and one day I hope you can experience what it is like to be bullied by someone like you. My wish for you is a long miserable life I hope your wife leave you, your kid disowns you and at the end of your life no one is around to comfort you in your last minutes and when you die you go stright to hell. Even hell is to good for the likes of you. I hope I’m around to watch your fall from grace, assholes. —Little2a200

if you let yourself be bullied, then you dserve what you get. you either stand the fuck up for yourself, or you become another whiney little bitch. such is life.
I can’t believe Blow Me has a good point. Even more mind blowing, no amazing tales to tell on this one. I clicked “Like”.
no sonic, because i don’t take the bullshit from anyone. bullies are nothing but spineless pieces of shit, that deserve a good smash to the face.
Blow Me, your fucking dumb. I was agreeing with what you said. Do you by any chance eat pieces of shit like them for breakfast? Some tender for your toothless mouth. How’s that law degree coming?
OB, get back to work, and no social networking on company time!
You’re a fucking adult, act like one. Just shiv him in the cafateria lineup, and keep walking like nothing happened. If everyone hates him, nobody saw anything.
Ahhh, shit devil, you are so right. Everyone hates the bully, and giving him the old shiv would be so awesome. But, here in the real world, it’s all about office politics, contracts, and putting up with crap. But, no more. Silence is the bully’s greatest strength.
Instead of an imaginary violent reaction, which we all have fantasized about, isn’t it much smarter for OB to gather all their resources and fight like hell to establish a harassment free workplace? And keep their jobs in the process…
So many places have anti bully policies. Now we just have to do more than pay lip service to them.
Assholes beware.
Ok like I said I have watched this go on they don’t do this to me they know better. Not everybody can be as strong as you ob and that what these people go after they know who to bully and who not too. So the staff like me are trying to go thought the right channels to correct there action like adults that we are violents in the work place is not the ans it just lowers us to there standards when I was younger I would have punched them in the face and probably a lot more but I’m all grown up now so I act like an adult and try to make the right people see what going on in there organization so our coworker can come to work without worrying about what there going to do next and who the target is today. So before you go on about a topic you probably know nothing about I suggest you do some research as to how these people work and the type of people they go after no one asked to be bullied some people are just not strong enough or there self esteem is not good enough so they end up believing what the bullys are saying about them and that put them in a bad place mentally and physically. It seem to me that this world is getting worse we tolerate to much bad behavior we need to come together and let this world know bullying will not be tolerate in our schools or in the work place all the strong people like you ob can make a differnts if we stand as one for the weaker people who can’t stand for themselves

I agree, Little2a2000. Some people may not be in a very good state of mind after intense bullying. I also agree that we need to stand together, and fight for the ones who can’t. It does seem like the world is getting worse, but I hope that the new awareness lately that companies have about the cost of bullying will entice them to take action and weed out those who make life miserable for the rest. We have to think positive. And be proactive, above all else. If all else fails, there is always plan “b”…
This is going to be controversial but along with sexual harassment there are cases where girls will tell everyone in the workplace that she thinks a certain male is a creep just for her to gain attention and to re affirm to herself her social status in the workplace; I’ve seen it before and don’t deny it ladies you surely have too. These are just as difficult as the sexually harassing bullies because the girl who leeches attention by turning an innocent man into a creep is unstoppable. What can the man do? What policy could possibly protect him?
The problem of workplace bullying is far more complicated that most people even realize. There are people who claim to be victims when they are actually being frivolous and are themselves the bullies.
I think you hit on a good point there, Daniel.
The problem of workplace bullying is far more complicated than most people even realize.
I hadn’t even thought of the scenario you described, I can only imagine that would make life quite difficult for any guy who really wasn’t trying to be creepy…
I’d like to institute Zed’s Constant = 51
The percentage of people in the workplace an employee X has to annoy to the point where they’d rather just dispose of the body than call the police.
I anyone else has a problem with it… there’s more of us than them.
Ya and to make matters worse no one addresses it because they’re scared of getting unjustly socially attacked. It’s what you learn in every group psychology course. People go with generalizations over simplifications; over use of the “principle” that if it walks like a duck and it talks like a duck it’s a “duck”.
Girls will most often go with the side of other girls and won’t help stick up for the man, while employers are terrified of the labor board and the trouble not going with the woman would bring.
Police also have a tendency to go with whatever the girl says even if there is no physical evidence whatsoever. A lot of these girls simply go with the rational that “he would screw me any chance he’d get” when, although that might be true;, there may be 10 other guys who would so why is she singling him out. Furthermore his sexual preferences are his own business and if he hasn’t made a pass or was sexually suggestive in any way she has no right to accuse him of anything. These girls use generalizations and ignorant social attitudes to their advantage against men whom these girls are often racist towards, not attracted to (I’ve heard girls say get rid of him and get a cute guy working here in reference to a co worker when I was in retail), or simply see as a sitting duck for them to use for social prestige.
It can even be something as pathetic as standing next to him and then claiming to everyone that he has a “small dick” when he didn’t get hard.
There are too many severely fucked up and twisted people out there, and guess what; that’s going to include many of the ladies and anyone who goes with a claim without at least investigating into something is a destructive fool.
I stuck up for him. She backed off because I knew people she knew.
Ah the advantages of living in the same city for over 20years. There should be more of us;)
