•How to deal with bullies? bullies at work not at school.

•Will I be mature and stay away or get another job what can I do? any suggestions?

•What will you do if your in this case?

How to deal with them? Fight back cause even if you decide to go to another company/school there will be always a bully. People are not different from animals there would be someone preying on the weak.

I did encounter bullies in my school days and in work, I fought back and when they knew that i am a fighter they stopped

Bully now days is becoming a serious and big problem because it often happen in many places. Even thought there are many media shows this cases, it still there are many other cases of bullying. It seems very difficult to stop. If it happens to us in work, we just need to stay calm and be deaf. They will not stop bullying us because they who do bully is such as animal, they don't really have heart or even they have completely lost their mind. Actually, when they bully others it means that they are bullying them self.

Exactly. People should be mature enough in this stage. We musn't mind them because of their immature act. Maybe they just feel insecure of themselves and try to bully another co-worker to release the pressure of their insecurities. The best way to deal with these Bullies is either ignore them or if they are persistent, confront them and tell them the truth, don't just tell then to back away or that they are hurting your feelings, tell them facts, tell them your own opinions on how they are supposed to act, let them know that you are a formidable person to deal with. Manipulate their actions toward you with carefully thought words that are a fact. This has happened to me before, and in the end the one with the most facts given wins the argument.  ;)

In my opinion you should not stay away nor avoid the person, as every situation in your life you must face your problems not run away from them. Getting another job or school is worst because you will always be scare of those idiots. Once you show you are weak and you won’t do anything or fight back they will be over you all the time.

1. Immediately get the child to talk about what he is doing. Explain that his actions harm himself and others. Strive for help from experts to get the problem handled properly and finished thoroughly.
2. Find the cause of the child doing so. Cause to be the determinant of treatment. children who become perpetrators because of low self-esteem will certainly be handled differently with the perpetrators caused by revenge for ever become a victim. Similarly, if the perpetrator is caused by a different aggressiveness.
3. Position yourself to help the child and not judge the child .

Those bullies at work can affect your job performance and they are aware about it and make them glad because you are affected but instead of showing them that you are affected you should revenge them of being effective and prodictive at work and use it as your motivation and if the day comes that you are already promoted in your work because of your being productive and effective those bullies will stop because being promoted is also a success and success is the best revenge.

Bullies are everywhere it maybe in school and in work place they will not stop for as long as they have victim and do meet their match, for as long as they can make fun of you and until there's no one who is willing to stand and fight to them they will still go on in their plan..it take courage to stand and confront them, just be yourself and do not be coward prove to them that you are not what they think you are, and do not give in to their lies but expose their wicked scheme.

No need to get a new job to stay away from the bullies.It will just make them think that your weak,or whatever they say about you is right.Show to them that your not weak,not by hurting them also but try to be friends with them or just put your attention away from them.Just focus on your work.And if you feel giving up, seek for advices from the people who you trust and you think can give you right advices.

Bullies are insecure and envious people they will demand, they will threat and make fun of everyone who obeys their wishes and who are move by their intimidation they don't want anybody to goes ahead of them or someone better than them and so they will try their best to put you down by any means you have to stand and fight for them in a way that they themselves will humiliate.

Bullies at work is very subtle, sometimes it comes in colorful and good package but inside it is dangerous, their smooth talk is very convincing, they will make you think you're not good enough for their company at you do not belong to them, sometimes they will make you think think that you're good on other field were in fact they want you out, they want to steal your project your promotion and if you're weak enough you  will agree with them and cry and leave..be strong and courageous don't give the upper hand.. don't let them do what their wishes is, stand on your self and do your best.

Don't allow them being you down. Laugh with them if possible. Be better than they are. Act professional and don'tmind whatever they say.

I think it is hard for us to really adapt op's situation but from what i see, maybe they are bullying for a good job you did, or they are testing and even they just are curios on your relationship with higher ups. Sometimes it depends on how long you are working but if they want you to leave the job just for their personal gains, then i think you should be able to read and learn how to address that bullying.

i rather stay at work! and will made their ass shut! i will give more effort on work and make sure to them that the next promotion is in you! once you are a level higher than then, thats the best slap you can make, they only have 2 choices! call you a boss or resign! OUT!!

You must show to them that you are strong. Don't show them that you are weak or affected on what they are doing. Because these bullies won't stop if your showing that you are weak. If i were you i will show these bullies that they bullied the wrong person. And i will kick their ass.

Bullies only exist because people are allowing them to be that way. The only to get rid of them is to fight back.Violence is not the only way to fight back. I won't recommend that because your at work.Make them feel that you will fight back and you won't allow them to bully you anymore.A bit intimidation will work,I have tried that a lot of times. I would suggest that you stay at work, bullies always be there no matter what company you ate in.Fight back man,you don't deserve to be treated that way.

such people understand only one language - the language of power and violence
you know yourself what to do, man..

Talk to the guilty party

The first thing to try to do is talk to the bully. The person in question may not have realised how badly you’ve reacted to their behaviour and the complaint might not have to go any further.

If you don’t feel comfortable approaching them alone, ask a colleague to come with you and act as a mediator. Although this won’t always be enough to change their behaviour, a large number of workplace issues can be resolved informally, and needn’t be taken any further.

Talk to the right people

If talking to the bully isn’t an option, then find the right people to take your complaint to. Ask to speak to your line manager or someone from your employer’s Human Resources department.

Explain how the issue is causing you to feel unmotivated and affecting your performance in the workplace. Discussing the issue with other people will not only mean the issue gets resolved more quickly, but it can also be extremely comforting and cathartic.

Seek formal help

If it’s got to the point where no-one else will listen, then you could take the matter further by seeking external assistance. A good place to start is ACAS (Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service). Their main aim is to improve working life through better employment relations and they offer free and impartial advice on the subject.

Advice can also be sought from the Citizens Advice Bureau, and many other independent bodies. However, following more formal procedures may only exacerbate the situation, and this option should only ever be used as a last resort.

For more information on who to speak to, visit the directgov website.

Well, the best thing to do is to simply talk with them and tell them that you not comfortable with it, but ofcourse this will not change in an instant, you also have to adjust with this people,

Otherwise, ignore them and focus on your work and show them what you can do better inspite of bullying you.

Ignore them and focus on what you do. Making them feel they are getting to you will make them continue. But you ignore as if it doesn't concern you..  They will stop eventually.

There is no single right solution to the problem of intimidation or the best way to deal with the bully. You may have to experiment with various reactions in order to find the strategy that will give effect in your case. In order to cope with the bully and bully, you need to maintain control over yourself and self-esteem.

letting or ignoring is a very common strategy used to deal with people who are bullies, but this is not very effective. If someone starts to signal to want to argue something that is not clear, ignoring is a way that at least can be safe to avoid confrontation.

I do not recommend that you leave that place or just endure, you need to make your voice clear, otherwise things will get worse and worse. Even if you leave,  who knows what will happen the next time？

In bullying the problem is that your adversary knows that you are weak and you won't do anything to defend yourself so you have two solutions, change the work place and you won't feel better or take atitude and fight back, go to your boss and tell him what's going on, gather evidence and sue them.

I do not think we should always reply to bullying from the person, we better approach the person, we talk openly and show that we can be better than them at work.
by showing our ability to work and achieve better work, but they will rethink not to bullying us, they would be embarrassed if it turns out our ability to work better than them.
if you really feel uncomfortable at work, it may be better if you try to find a job elsewhere, maybe you will get a better workmate than the previous workplace.

just do not care about what they say and just go with the flow because the more you counter and fight them with what they say they will be more continue what he was doing to you and that is the bully thing

i think the best optiin my opinion is to be bold and retaliate or fight back once, and I'm sure whoever that bully is will learn his senses. Fighting back is generally what bullies don't like so i will give you back what you don't like as you do what i don't like

Ground yourself. The bully is looking for your reaction. If you show that you’re hurt or upset, “that’s going to make them happy as heck,”  Find a way to stay calm and work on your game face. Try to stay calm in the face of bullying.

The best way is to ignore them or change the work, I think. It mustn't be a usual activity at your work, otherwise - that totally sucks.

Change the company, cuz it's due to problems with corporate culture inside the organization. Looks like top management is okay with things like that. It's no good.

do not dodge and stay away but face find its weakness gap follow the flow after the point of weakness we can control the person

Well, I have experienced it both at work and at school. Just try to talk to them personally and tell them that what they are saying offends and hurts your feelings. Talk to them in a nice way. If they still do it the again try to ignore them for the second time. If they still repeat and keep doing it against you then I think that is the right time for you to fight back. Don't let anyone abuse and hurt you. Learn how to fight back at the right time.

For me, If he repeatedly did it. I talked to him/her why he/she did this and what problem he/she was about. Then I'll tell him/her to stop it and it will not help the company and it will affects the organization and performance of each other. And if he/she still does not stop, I will report him/her to our superior but I will fight back to that bullies! ;D And stay to the company.

Dealing with bullies can be a lot of hardwork. But in my opinion if I will suggest, you should just ignore them and just give it your all at work. Let them say whatever they want as long as you know what is true. Just repay evil with good. :)

If they are threat, leave but if not show them that are not scared of these people and fight back.

Bullies are everywhere. In this case you can't scape the bullies wherever you will go.  Just make your imperfections be your strength and prove it to them that you can stand strong.  Bullies do bully  those person who is not confident enough to face them. We confident prove that you deserve to be respected. 

I was once in the bully at my workplace. I was initially angry when they bully me, but they were even happy when they saw me angry. So, do you know what I do next if they bully me? I ignore them. I swear I ignore them. I'm tired even tired of hearing their bully, I get used to hearing it. So just ignore them, they will be bored if we are silent and finally they are silent.

Just do your work best and strive on excel in all aspect or area don't be intimidated with them that's how you deal them no matter what they say and do, do good anyway let their own craziness, insecurities and bullying fall on them don't let them move you.

first of all confront his behavior and how affect on your workplace, if he continues bullying, documentation is better and Tell Management and HR About the Bully's Behavior.

The main thing is not to react to them, do not show them your weakness, but simply continue to work. If they do not like it, tell them their claims. Do not throw the work because of some hooligans.

Yes I agree with you,sometimes you need to fight back,its a wake up call to those bullies that not everytime they can do it to everyone. Don't let anyone step on you specially when you know that you are fighting for a right cause.

We can't agree with bullying, but we must prevent or destroy the bullying (as a victim or witnesses). The bully behavior musn't exist in this world. Eventhough they think is small bullying, it's still bullying and can destroy people's life (both physically and mentally).
If you are become victim of bullying in the office, you must tell the people who intimidate you that you don't like his/her behavior and tell his/her not do that anymore. But if he/she doesn't care or respond with your opinion you must tell your another office mate and your boss about your situation and ask help for them. The best thing, you shouldn't emotional or fight back his/her (like you punch, using hars words, etc). Because it's not solve your problem. If you do violence to them, you same like them who love violence. We must solve it with clear mind.
And then you must be mature people and face this problem, you musn't quit your job because you don't want being bullying victim. Every problem in this world can be solved and there are always ways to solve your problem.

I think you should show them that you are strong. Si they will not bully you. I'm sure if they saw that you are weak they will bully you. This bullies won't stop bullying until you don't fight and stop them.

detail ? if that job isn't necessary , you should find another job . It isn't necessary for you to be bullied

Try to be tough, and act like man that is not afraid of fighting with them.

I found that bully are sometimes insecure, they use their loud mouth and bigger statue to appear larger than they should.  But they just afraid to loose job security.  The thing that helped me to learn what i'm doing well, and communicate it well.  Good luck to you!

Just being as your self, those bullies will not disrupt you all the time. You just need to be confidence by as yourself. They your office friend will accept you as one of them part also soon later.

Hoping for the best resolution but be prepared to explore other options so you have little contact with bullies. You may even need to find a new job. you may never know what HR does about the bully; secrecy and confidentiality are also a priority. But, you can assess its impact the way they treat you now.

You can deal with annoying behavior in your workplace. with diligence and personal courage, you can neutralize annoying behavior and regain your conflict-free workplace

The bully is looking for your reaction. If you show that you’re hurt or upset, that’s going to make them happy. Find a way to stay calm and work on your game face. Try to stay calm in the face of bullying.

My solution for bullies at work is ignoring these horrible people. This behaviour is driving them crazy but It serves the purpose. For that reason, bully victims must stay strong and should not care about these evil souls.

That is normal in the company of workers why no t go with the flow as long as you are not degraded.

The best way is ignoring. Do not get into a fight with them. These people just love to provoke others. So act like usual.

You need to ignore them, if possible stay away from them, however if it is persistently done to you, report to your boss/principal or whoever authorities present. If the other way around happens, you have to fight back but not to the extent of hurting anyone because that will give another problem.

Well everyone in their life has faced bullies. I think best way is to talk straight forward and asked them that you are not comfortable with them. Force them to stay away and ignore them for some time. Keep a diary of every incident that happens. A written note of who said or did what, and when. The frequency and pattern of the incidents you record will be strong evidence of the bullying you’re experiencing, and will make it challenging for the bullies to deny when they’re confronted.

Unfortunately there may be no law against workplace bullying in itself, employers do have a duty under the Health and Safety at Work to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees. Bullying can directly compromise each of these.

Stay if they are bullies at your work and prove them you are stronger. Never get into argument with them. Work underground for your advancement and let them be a benchmark for your improvement and do something to make them know that you are strong for them. Never quit.

Just need to show that you are not affected by bullies, don't look down. Yes, be mature and make a bit distance from them but keep on your job. if it's possible, fight them back by showing that you have better abilities at work and make them need you, so they will think twice on bullying you. the most important thing is not being a very nice person, just be professional. my apologize, not teaching, just suggesting. :)

There will always be bullies in an office environment which sometimes makes work more stressful than the work you do itself. The most reasonable way to handle it is to retaliate in a passive way and not in a direct way which will make the bullies realize that you are much of a better man than they are.

Don't mind them and just focus on your work. Avoid those types of people. Sooner or later if they see that you are not responding to them they will leave you alone.

I believe you need to stand up for yourself against bullies.  They will continue to bully you if you don’t say something.  That is how they like to operate, by picking on people that show no resistance.  Once you let them know that you will stand up for yourself, they will stop.  They will move on to easier targets. 

Yes, actually they want to see your tortured response, just ignore it and maybe pretending to not being a tortured person.
Like Alan Turing in Enigma movie.

Unfortunately, it was the best way to stop bullying 😂. If your coworkers are bullying you then you should show them what they really want,  fight them or do what they deserve (punch them 😂).

There are many reasons why these situations arise ranging from severe discrimination to a simple clash of personalities or a misunderstanding that has gone too far.

Your first call should be to your employer. They have a duty to prevent bullying and harassment in the workplace and they should have a grievance procedure you can follow which may include meetings with your manager, mediation or internal investigations.

If you don’t feel able to do that, because you fear it will result in further problems, or you have followed the procedure but the matter has still not been resolved, then you may want consider legal action.

There's a simple solution, actually. Be an even bigger bully. Go to the gym if you lack the necessary frame. Wait at their desk every morning and demand their pocket money/sweets/whatever. You can kill 2 flies with 1 stone by selling that stuff on the black market for bitcoin and getting extra rich.

You can Deal for being bullied at work just focusing at your work never mind what they are talking thinking of you,they can not hell you in everything when you keep listening

Well if you're not happy with your job then leave. But if you think finding a new job isn't easy, then stay. I had the same problem years ago and it's hard to deal with it until I made my mind to leave my job because I'm not happy with it anymore.  I faced my fear by telling them that what they did was wrong

The best way to deal with the bullies at work is to ignore them. Don't get affected by whatever they say. They will somehow get tired if you keep on ignoring them and showing them you're not affected at all. Those bullies were just bored in their life and they'll get bored if they didn't have fun with your responce. So just ignore them, it will all be over soon. Just focus on your work and be positive in life and be friends with positive people.

Showing respect to everyone and find way to set time to talk with them and confront them in a nice or serious way.and make them understand and realize how to value respect.4

If you cannot ignore them just beat them with your best. Show them that you are not afraid of them.

Maybe try to reply with kindness and compassion, repeatedly. Bullies are usually very insecure or traumatised by something in their past, helping them acknowledge it can lead to them stopping the bully behaviour.

Fight back to bully and if they are still continues doing it makes a report to our employees.

Best way to fight back bullies is to ignore them and report them to the staff in school or report them to your superior at work to take actions against them.

It is important to show that you are strong. I was nerd at school, but bullies never touched me, because I could stand up for myself.

I will just show them how I work seriously and show them how dedicated I am when it comes to work.

Bullies are not going to stop just because you are ignoring them, they will even continue to harass you more because they are doing all this because they are seeking attention and when they are not going the attention they are going to do it even more.

if I alone deal with bullies with heart and quiet.

It will be hard but a liitle more patience and acceptance of your flaws can help you overcome bullying. It may be hard at first but you'll soon understand that it is actually nice to accept yourself despite all the bullying you received.

Bullies are everywhere whether in school and at work. If you experience bullying at work well all i can say is that handle it tactfully. Don't harm them maybe don't mind them but be friend to them in such a way you can express yourself to them. Once you are a friend to them try to explain your side and your part is to understand him/her (bullied) You might help them knowing the root cause why they bullied someone or whats behind they become bullies. Be fierce and steadfast so that no one can pin you down. Don't ignore them because they'll think that you are weak to handle them but instead be courageous to face them in a professional way. In this way those bullies will stop.

Stop reacting to them! Just do your work perfect and that's it!
If socializing is very important for you, just find another job!

There are many good tips in this thread. Do your work and not fear or show fear. You will find bullies everywhere. 
I want to add:
You will not be the only person being bullied by him. Support others if they get bullied by him. Get get contact with other people.
Create in secret an event log with facts also including your actions to try to stop the bully that you can present later if nothing else helps. (Perhaps also create a private diary with the more emotional aspects that you do not want to present to everyone).
People react different in a group than in a 1 to 1 conversation. Do not fear to talk 1 to 1 with him if he crosses your boarders.
Try to see why the bully is behaving this way. He is the person who can the biggest problems as he can even get fired because of this (also if he is your boss!). This can even make him more insecure or aggressive.
If it is a complete company structure based on fear and/or if he also is [and will stay] the [only] owner of the company you should decide if you like to continue to give your time and energy to this company in exchange for some money.)

bullies are everywhere. all you have to do is to stay focus with what you do and never mind. as long as they are not hurting you physically. what you hear on you left ear, just let it pass through your right ear. they will feel annoy not being given attention.

Running away from this issue is not the right option. If you do so, then the bullies will feel like they have won the mental battle, and they will go on to harass others. First you need to complain to the HR about this issue. If they are not taking any action, then you can try taking up the matter at higher levels.

Hit him with a keyboard in the face like John McAvoy did in the movie Wanted.Just kidding! :)

You'll not be bullied when you don't let them to. But I didn't mean that you hit them back, just show them you're not affected by them, eventually they'll get tired of it.

Just stand your ground, and further ignores them. They will get bored. If it gets out of hand, your work/HR is responsible to deal with the situation. Write down every little detail of when and what the bullies bothered you with.  

bullying is inevitable in our society nowadays. There is now a form of bullying which is called cyber bullying in which people tend to bash others online.
What you could do is just believe in yourself. How can you expect others to love you if you yourself don't love yourself? Confidence also play a role. Don't mind those persons bullying you. Go on with your life and prove them wrong.

There was always someone who would interfere with us at work.Just that it was not anything serious.All these are some interferences in a positive sense, some people are kidding.But there are problems at work that are very serious.It's already a serious matter.Then we should turn to someone for help.If the boss can't help us, then we should turn to the police for violence.Then the case is becoming serious.Everything we can't solve, we need to ask for help from someone.Because everything can end up fatal.

Complain, as that is the only way to get rid of them and they should be punished.

You must show to them that you are strong. Don't show them that you are weak .

wherever there must be a bully, we must be strong and face the hunter if we just dodge and run until whenever we will continue to be disturbed. do what you think is right. in this way they will not disturb you anymore

Complain about them to your HR and make sure that they stop it.

Bullies are everywhere they are the insecure no self confidence.just ignored them and do your work.try your best to ignored what they are doing to you.you can also tell your boss about them dont tolerate them.

Leaving the work means retreating and don't know about others but I don't feel like it. I would rather have fought back

You must give it back to them and complain about them. Don’t tolerate.

Bullies are present everywhere especially in a workplace. They are the immature, envious, self centered individuals who are just fond of making someone funny or putting someone into shame. If you come across a bully, show him that you are not distracted by his words. Dont mind him at all because if you do, you'll just waste your time and you'll get stressed due to nonsense reason. They'll soon get tired of it if they notice that you are not giving any attention to his words.

The best is to give it back to them as no one should encourage bullies.

Make them realize that you are confident and productive in everything you do . Be responsible and have a positive outlook ..

Find another work and take boxing classes

No one can bully you unless you allow them too. Be strong and kick them if you are bullied.

You must slap them hard on their face to make them stop bullying you.

Bullyes bulie the ones that can. That's don't bully and self conscious confident man, because they can't. So my advice is to read self improvement books and become a man that does not get bothered by opinions of others.

There are bullies everywhere and you should also become one to deal with them .

Never bullied ever so cant say about it sorry :(

Best way to deal with them is to ignore them and show them that you can deliver by doing your job the best way you can.

You cannot avoid bullies they are everywhere.All you have to do is ignore them if you can as long as you are not doing wrong just work and live your life.They don't know you either and you know yourself better,stand up and show them that you are not affected and don't mind what they say.

how can I deal with bully people? for me I do not even know. haha. The fact is that I've also experienced a dumping job. they will judge you, they continue talking and talking behind your back , talking them about yourself to others. but it's just one thing I did. I just refuse, I avoid those who do not want to, I avoid being together all the time. I stay silent and do not fight, I think when I fight, what will happen? as long as they do not hurt me physically , i can ignore them . but if  you'll never endure the situation ,you can talk to them, if they do not get them to ask, you need to avoid them or if you have other jobs you will be better off.

There are bullies everywhere, deal with them and defend yourself.

No one will bully you if you won't let them. The very first time or scenario that a person is bullying on you at work you should've challenged him in a fist fight or at least defend yourself. When it comes to dealing with bullies you should always let them know that your capable of ripping their heads off.

Bullies will only attack those people or person that they think won't fight back. In order to stop them from bullying you, you need to make him or them feel that you are also capable of hurting them physically if they won't stop doing their thing on you.


Sometimes doing nothing when someone bullies you is like an approval. Bullies don't really know that they are already hurting someone. They do bully people just for laughs or just to give them pleasure of any sort. I respect your opinion when it comes to handling bullies but I guess the best way to stop them from bullying you is to fight back and let them feel how you feel. Just teach him a lesson or give him ultimatum when it comes to his actions.


You shouldn't do this. You are empowering bullies if you make this decision. If you are really scared of the bully just stay away from him or her at work. No need to quit your job just because of a bully. It will hurt you financially cos every company there's always a bully so you lose every job you'll have cos of your weakness that's why the best thing to do is man up and fight back.

I think it would be pretty better enough to leave the work. if you are talented then there would be no shortage of works

He has to stand up to them because they are bullies everywhere and even when he moves to a new job, there will be people there who might bully him there as well. Else he might end moving whenever he is bullied at work.

It is sad that bullies are everywhere, even in workplaces. But they can only bully people whom they think are weaker or are threatened by them. Show them that you are there to work and do your best to be assertive and stand for what you know is right.

hahaha...getting another job? because of bullies?

my dear getting another job here means not staying on any job because bullies are real, almost at every work place, so the best way is getting a way to manage them and live a happier life.
So, if you’re dealing with a workplace bully, try these steps;
1. first of all be good at your work, because bullies want to see your errors
2. Ground yourself, that's,Find a way to stay calm and work on your game face-bullies always wanna see your reaction
3. Find a champion..Your company may have a formal human resources process for dealing with bullies. If so, don’t wait to report egregious behavior
4. finally is say to ALL WAYS BE HAPPY

You can fight back or talk on the matter politely with them

If i am the situation, i will just do my job and not mind them. Sometimes they bully because they think you are incapable of defending yourself. I once been bullied but i lose patience and ended it. I stood up and dare the bullies face to face. Sometimes they are just finding their match, if they find they stop.

If there are bullies at work, then you must complain about them to your seniors.

I don't tolerate bullies, they are still around anyway. You can't avoid them forever, I suggest you to not let them do this to you, instead fight back by showing them that you have something good in you that they will respect. This is the only way in case to remain professional in your work environment.

There are many things that people should know while dealing with the bullies and fighting back is the option.

If you cannot handle them then complain about them and make sure it stops.

No one should tolerate the bullies. I hate them and it angers me too much.

Running away is not a suggestion. you should try and fight back the bullies when and wherever you get them

People should not take anything that the bullies say and rather should fight back.

Tolerating and not fighting back is the problem and one should not do it.

I think it is really important to show that you are a strong person
It depends on the situation, but I would struggle for my authority

Go into a confrontation... Bullies are often bullies because they are afraid themselves. If you show them that you're not afraid of them... they will be afraid of you instead...
Don't let anybody push you down! If they try, the price should be so high that they never do it again.

If you show to them that you are not affected, in the long run, they will stop bullying you. Dont quit and find another company. As long as you're doing your job right, the bullies dont matter. If you show to them that you dont care on whatever they say or do, they will stop bothering you.

If you're new at the company and someone bullies you, the best way to beat them is with success. You're not there because of them but because you want to work and being the best that you can be can be the sweetest revenge. For some that are suffering from bullying at work for so long, you have to ask yourself if it even worth it? Do you love your work? Is that where you really wanna be? Maybe it's time move on and turn the next page of your life.

Running away is not a suggestion. you should try and fight back the bullies when and wherever you get them

One must never tolerate the bullies as it leaves a negative impact on people.

Don’t tolerate them and fight back as it might affect a lot to someone else.

The world is surrounded by bullies and the more you ignore them the more they get on you.

The best way is to fight back those bullies and make sure they don’t repeat it.

There is a lot of replies in this thread, I think it is very important to carefully assess the entire situation, maybe your boss is a help, or maybe not; you need to carefully analyse the situation to make the best choice for yourself, the first and most important thing is your own health and safety, that includes mental wellbeing. If you need to remain there for whatever reason, then you need to protect yourself as best as you possibly can. Minimise the damage done to you, no matter what happens. Too much stress and being worn-down by such a difficult situation can really take its toll on you in the long run...

I want to base my answer according to reality. It wasn't easy to deal on how to handle the feeling if I am in the situation of being bullied. To handle it I need to know why they do such bully? What is the problem that maybe I don't know? What should I do to make not not complicated toward me and to others. I would start in asking myself before formulating some steps to make my self stronger than before. Ok I should ride them by bullying me but I should do it with a twist that at the end I am not the weak or affected but they are if possible in a friendly manners.

Bullies at  work?dont mind them just focus on your work and what are you doing because sometimes bully person they the one who have a problem or need an attention.

Stand up against bullies at work.  We all deserved to be respected no matter what raise you are.

1. Be a firm person, focus on your working and build your confidency. Keep on training for being proper on argumentative discussion, both based on data and logic-rationality. Be a solutive and empathic person, an assertive and determined.

2. I guess the problem is not on the workplace, but inside ourselves. It won't solve anything getting another job, we will keep being bullied by new bullies if we don't afford the umber 1 factors above. Nobody won't bully us if we don't give them any chance to do it.

3. I was victim of bully since my childhood til my teenager. Then I decided to move abroad all by myself to a new place where I didn't have any relatives, with different culture from my native land. It enlighten me much. But the more influencing is that I decided to change myself, change my mindset, be brave to challenge myself. So when I finally visit my native land, people there began to respect me more as a person. So is in my workplace. I develop a new habit to be more solutive and friendly person, focus on my work, be firm and assertive, be authentically happy and inspiring, not depending on other people, be more forgiving and treat people as my closest friends. Make the situation like they who need us more than us need them. They will feel very sorry to lose this kind of friend, I think.  Then be like this kind of friend. :)

Ive always found that bullies are that way partly because they've made a habit out of it, and get somewhat stuck in bullying. Its what they are used to and what people expect from them, so people generally aren't too nice, or willing to open up and talk to them either.
What I do is go out of my way to be nice to them. Sure, they might try to make fun of you for doing so, but you just go about your day. Do it a few times, and these people will have no choice but to reciprocate the action by being nice in turn.
The key to bullies in general tho really is:Do not react when they try to be an a-hole to you. They always do it for the reaction, and they choose the people they do because of the way they react to the bullying. Unfortunately, the people who don't react well usually don't have great social skills to start, so it perpetuates the bullying...
Overall though, its no fun to bully someone after they just did something nice for you. They might be able to do it a few times, but once a personal relationship is developed just by you doing a few nice things, it will dissipate. I promise that this technique works. Im in sales, and sales departments are very common spots for bullies to end up, so i have helped a LOT of people deal with workplace bullying. Its gonna feel weird at first doing nice things for them (I promise that too) BUT things will never change if you don't change your approach, and there are people like this everywhere so running wont work either.
I hope someone sees this who this will help, because i like to have fun and all that but i HATE seeing bullying honestly... It just always seems so one sided and unfair. Like you might have good social skills mr bully, but how well do you adult??? Do you pay your bills? Balance your checkbook? Do you know how to code? The people who get bullied just lack in social skills a lot of the time but they are probably way more advanced in other areas...

Fighting back is the only option. The more you will take it the more they will bully.

A bully generally feeds on fear. They will come up to you hassle you and hurt you knowing that you couldn't do anything to hurt them back. Most bullies with this kind of thinking could be easily dealt with with a simple show of force. Stand up for yourself, fight back or essentially a preemptive retaliation. I know that people will say that that is petty but it is effective. If they know that you could hurt them then they will be wary of doing the same to you.

if your are bullies work experience don't ignore the situation ,instead confront him and try to talk him at the right place and stay calm ,because  the more your ignoring it ,it well not go away the bullies person from you.Also evaluation before taking action is the must of this situation ,aside from that confide at someone you can trust for has been watching you'll over in time of bully,,if situation has too risky you must consult and discusses from your trusted manager or mentor who closed to you,

I ignore them because they have no knowledge how beautiful life is.

Well, I don't mind them. They are all over the place and I don't care about their presence or what they are doing, as long as I was not hurt physically with what they are doing.
Stay in your present job. They are not the reason why you are there, besides they are not the one giving you your compensation/salary. If you would leave your job, you just make them happy, why not stay at your job and be their headache instead?
Nothing, as I've said I don't care about people around me too much, and I am not nosy and I hate nosy people, they are pathetic.

Just stay focus on what you are currently doing if you think that is useful to you and to your job. Ignore those bullying workmates because they may be jealous of what you have now. Also, make sure you are enjoying what you are working so that you will not be bother of what others do or back fight on you.

Actually, it depends on how you are being bullied and it deoends on how much you eould like to stay on that place you're working on. I mean wherever you go you'll definitely come across someone that eill make your job a bit harder. My advise is fight back. Bullies generally won't pick on someone who would actually push back. Keep it in yhe boudaries of your company's code of conduct. If it worsen, kick this person's ass outside work to settle things out.

Bullies are cowards, if its verbal bullying, study and outwit them, make them look the inferior person in their peer group, watch lots of standup comedy to get ideas of how to roast them.

If its physical get in the gym and develop yourself, that will have more benefits than just keeping the bully away i.e. health benefits, confidence boost and you will look better and be stronger.

1st day of my new job the local "Funny/big man" tried to put me down, not in a nasty way but definitely not in a welcome to the company way, trying to mark his Territory..

"Your quite, dont you talk? are we too intimidating?" 3 of them stood around me, i stood up calmly walked to the guy doing the talking and said, "Sorry what was that?" while looking right in his eyes...

All i had to do, he went bright red, mumbled, stuttered and walked off.

Hes one of my good mates now - funny how it works out..

Im 100% sure if i crumbled and went red/said nothing id be the object of ridicule to this day...

I have trained in the gym for 12 years so that probably helped, but they are all the same - stand up they run.

Dont let them win by moving on.

Always was and always will be bullies, or pests. I advise you to speak openly with them. You should not show your fear (even if you are afraid). Be confident and convincing - then you will be left behind.

Grow up and fight back you should know better that you are not born to be bullied or your parents didn't raise you just to get bullied,
Sometimes you need to fight back so that others wouldn't make fun of you because there are times that they would make fun of you because they know that you wouldn't fight back.

This is a strange thing and I think there is a problem in you why something is bothering you and that environment rejects you and everyone has its own problem.

Bullies around us are destructions but it is just for us to handle different circumstances. As for me, it would serve as a challenge for me on how to deal with those kind of people. I will try to treat them nicely despite of what they are doing but I would never have a second thought of fighting back once they hurt me.

yes, it would be better not to care about and focus on your work, because there are still many people who care and support you in your work. do not fight with words. but you show that you can be more than he said.

Very hard to deal with workplace bullying. I don't get why people do this, we work to get purpose and to make money. Bullying is evil and should be stamped out everywhere.

Go to your head and complain about them and make sure to fight back.

Complain. That is the only way you can deal with them.

No one should tolerate their non sense and should always fight back.

The victims in bullying is increasing bullying is the main cause of depression of student

Getting another job because you are being bullied can only make it worse both for you, the bullies and the other people at work that can be bullied as well. Looking away works for some instances but i think one needs to stand up for himself and stare down the bullies. Because these morons would only grow in confidence if you simply let them be

Bullies are annoying and should be treated in a way that they don’t repeat it.

Ignore them. Let them do whatever they want to do.

Hi all,

good day

in a formal ways at the work place to deal bullying with you at the first time talk to her not to bully you and inform your superior that one of your co-worker bullying with you and not to the extend that you look a another job to keep away from her, maybe on that case your superior make and action for that guy. maybe that guys is ground for termination if they do that for no reasons.

They are everywhere. Give them back and if you cannot then complain.

Don’t tolerate them and be a part of their culture. They are worthless.

My way to deal with bullies at work I keep on being  myself,I don't  change my attitude  because of them.You always get  those  persons  who  want to be the main atraction in every descussion and  always  make fun of you because they can't take it if  everything  is not about them.

There are many bullies around. Be one to deal with them.

Bullies find satisfaction when they let someone feel what they wanted to, which is to feel inferior to them.

The good in me would suggest ignore them because they would eventually get tired of not getting what they want from you, which is to annoy you.

The bad in me would say stand up for yourseld and grab a keyboard (or anything that could generate sounds if it hits something) and smash it to their face.

Just choose wisely ;D

I think bullies should be confronted once and for all.

Simple! dont mind them, dont talk to them, just do your work, show them your good at work, show them that they are just nothing compared to you! If you focus to that bullies people you cant concentrate to your, your work will be ruin so just do your job and show them your better than them.

+1 on his advice, i dealt with some really annoying people, not to the level of bullies but when you ignore them they have this pathetic look in their eyes that they have been hurt.

In the work place no one should be able to physically retaliate against you if they do so report them ASAP to the HR or even the police. When they know they cant get away from the stupid school yard stuff they will usually stop or sulk in the corner

Bullies are just around and it is still for us to handle different circumstances. As for me, what I do is just to ignore them as long as I can since they won't give or provide me any good things. However, I believe that if they're bullying me too much, I still need to fight back and fight for my right.

Just first start punching and kicking their ass and then after the dose sit down for a talk.

You know steel is formed by melting iron? similarly these bullying is also needed to become mentally strong for the future

If you are a guy then fight back and show them that they are messing with the wrong person and you are not weak because bullies only targets you if they know you are a weak person.

 As a research almost 40% of women are bullies from their co -workers so that if you one of them you must be know the essence feeling of
 pain before do it for him,,because if you should experience bullies person some of them are probably effects not only their work,and life but also affect to their health like mentally stress , headaches, loss of appetite, high blood pressure, insomnia, clinical depression,therefore if your experience the bullies person you must be  ignore him,for the first place and keep distance away from  him ,,but don't get emotional, instead you must know the law about  bullies activity to aware your defensable against him,if do it again,,

Avoid those people or report them to your supervisor. You are in the office,  Im sure there are some ways you can do like you can request to be transfer to other department or branch. Bullying is not tolerated on any office,  it should be dealt with accordingly. Such persons has no place in the office,  they shoud be fired or discipline.

Dont mind those people. But if it gives you trouble,  set a meeting with them along with your supervisors and discuss the problem or if they have issues against you. Settle the problem.

 Bullies co -worker are probably problem in your workplace if your one of them as victim don't expect to change the situation unless your'e not be able to fight against from him, so that the only way to conquer him is to build your self educate about the basic policy of your company related of this issue,, because its better to chance successfully dealing with this person,,but if not enough solution from worst situation you need to leave your job as soon as possible

keep your chin up and walk tall

Build a support network. Instead of allowing the bully to make you retreat into your office, work on building your relationships with your coworkers so that you have support and the bully doesn’t turn them against you as well. Do your best work. The bully’s behavior will seem more justified if you aren’t doing your best work. Seek help. If you think you’re being bullied, it’s time to start talking to others who can help you manage this situation. Try a mentor, advocate, seasoned/experienced friend, even a legal advocate who specializes in bullying and inappropriate or discriminatory behavior in the workplace.

Bullying is very common act nowadays. Even myself i experience that from school. And im still wondering how to deal with it. I even tried  transfering to another school just to avoid  

If you have  experience bullies work situation you must be firm to take action  of solution as needed to fight for them.Because not all the time of bully has been stop,  therefore some of them person has made frustration condition that can cause to leave  from work or job just would be a voluntary to leave in just cases and due to under  the pressure ,because sometimes is better to leave than you handle frustrated condition at the long time,,

I like to use earphones.  ;D
But i have some unvoluntary stupidity and anti-social skills that protect me a lot.

Come on, it just show your immaturity, you are just exposing yourself for them to attack you more and you doing it over and over again and giving them more reason to fight you legally and you end up in jail or suspended/ejected from your job.

Actually, you just have to ride with them. In the end they will stop since they cannot find anything that could satisfy them from bullying you.

I would say dont mess with them because you dont know how long there hands are towards the underground or towards the bad guys

The best thing to do about it is just to ignore them. We are working because we need to earn for our families and I believe that they ain't doing any good things for us so we better ignore them as long as theur not hurting us but if they're doing too much, we must fight for our rights.

None other option is prevalent than fighting back because more you keep silent they would get more allowance for bullying you

Actually you can't if they dont like you even though you love the job. Because they are always thier to destroy you blame you etc.  and thats the reasons you need to find another job with good coworkers.

at work will certainly be there are people like that. If you are not familiar with this then only make a career job we will never move forward. Perhaps the best way is to be able to adjust to bully it, create just as comfortable as possible.

my suggestion is kick them back as long as you are in right position, don't be afraid if you are right. stand up ! and speak out !. we should fight back every single of bullying because it's a crime

Just face them and talk to them ,
Stop ignoring them confront them act like a grown up .
Know what the problem is .

Talk to them like any other person you would at work and not giving them any special attention. Don’t let them affect you at all. Their just projecting their shit on others.

It is not always easy to fight back. Firstly, not everyone knows how to fight, and secondly it can be difficult psychologically.

As in school so there is at work, people who are bullies that will prey on people whom they think are weaker.

I agree you have to fight back as hard as that is because the bullying will only escalate. Yet this will not always solve the problem

You will encounter psychopaths that no matter how many times you talk to them or try and reason will never really stop. Its in their nature.

You can take the tiger out of the jungle but not take the jungle out of the tiger.

If its on the job issue it should also be handled by superiors to put a stop to it. If they do not it will only get worse and they should not be in the leadership positions to begin with.

In real life I have seen bosses that skirt the issue or they themselves are too intimidated to do anything about it. They just let it be.

This will only lead to employees losing respect to their bosses and this bullying on the job to escalate.

You can deal with a bully and change the bully’s behavior if you are willing to practice personal courage. But, you must do something. The bully will not go away; if you make yourself an easy target, you will only encourage the bully.

File a complaint against them as it is a serious crime and people should stop it.

It depends upon the level of bullying. If it doesn't affect your daily performance at work then just try to deal with them nicely or just ignore them when they are bullying you. However, if their bullying affects your daily performances and if it affects your personal life too much, it is better if you fight for your rights and fight back in a right way sometimes.

Just let them do whatever they want to do as long as they dont interfere with productivuty of work,if thats the case raise it up to the upper management. Just dont  fire back with them still do good for the revenge is with God in His time.

You already know a right answer. You need to be mature and stay away from bullies as long as possible. Or change a job as a last resort. Some morons are not worth your time, energy and emotions. Just don't waste it at all for them.

Start to answer them the same. While you are offended, upset because of their attacks, they will continue to entertain in this way. If it's just verbal jokes, then turn on a sense of humor and try to joke in a comic manner more painfully.
