How companies/employees should handle workplace bullying? Workplace bullying can be very frustrating and hard to deal with; especially if you are the one being picked on. Bullying can be anything from being treated disrespectfully, being talked about, starred at, or monitored, to even the person trying their best to get you fired from your position. What I learned from my past experience is not to get into a verbal confrontation with a bully. This could make it worse! The bully wants you to react so that they can get you in trouble. All you need to do is look them in the eye, be calm, and strong. Stand up for yourself! Let the bully know that you are not the one to play with and that you will not tolerate how they are treating you. Document the situation and ignore the bully. If it happens again after your warning to them, tell the superior. If all else fails, get a police report. You will have documented everything beforehand, so your case will look good and I’m sure after the authorities are involved, they will have no choice but to leave you alone! -Denyce
