It’s also true that sometimes, bullies just won’t go away. In those situations, you absolutely should bring it to the attention of management and, if this doesn’t solve the problem, you have the choice of either confronting the bully straight out (which may or may not intimidate them into being quiet) or (worst case scenario) looking for a different job or changing departments. While I hate the thought that a bully could “win” like this, I do recognize that no one should spend the better part of their day in a hostile environment. You need to look out for your own health and happiness first.

Dealing with co-workers

Dealing with co-workers can be tricky business. It’s too bad colleges and universities don’t teach you ‘how to’ deal with people in the workplace. God knows I’ve had to deal with “The Grump, The Gossip, and The Bully.” Speaking of the latter… This is why it’s important to teach kids at an early age ‘how to’ deal with bullies because they can be found in the workplace. Personally, I don’t think ‘ignoring’ a bully will make them go away. I had my first office job at 18 and there were two ‘women’ bullies in the small office, and they didn’t go away. I got fed up and quit. This wasn’t the way to handle it. I was out of job and income! But… Fast forward two years later, and the president of the company called me and asked if I wanted to come back. I accepted his offer and lo and behold the one bully was gone and the other one was still there. But, she got married and pregnant and ended up quitting. I was never so grateful for a child then I was at that moment. And, the office was so nice without her. All of us did our jobs and didn’t ‘bitch’ about anything.

Dealing with bullies

Fast forward to now, and I’m developing a teen/parenting business/website to teach kids ‘how to’ set boundaries, how to deal with bullies, etc. In my situation the one bully didn’t like that the president of the company kept comparing my work performance to hers. He kept questioning ‘why’ it always took her sooooo long to complete the invoicing and why I got it done within an hour (depending on how big the stack was). I can tell you why. She stretched out the invoicing so she would finish mid-morning. By the time she’d get done with everything, it was close to lunchtime. I couldn’t believe it when she told me this. Whatever. I was and still am ambitious and a go-getter. I was willing to do and learn more about the business.

Final thoughts

The bottom line is most bullies are insecure and need someone else to blame for their issues and shortcomings. Once kids and adults ‘get’ this, they’ll be able to stand up to bullies. Ignoring bullies and the situations won’t make it them go away. Kids need to know how to empower themselves so they can empower themselves in their adulthood.
