And even stranger, why the hell is that going on in your workplace but noone is even willing to do anything about it?
What is the point of coming on here and not offering any constructive comments, and indeed criticising.
Anyone would struggle if there were a group of immature people bullying one person, especially if they could not just get up and walk away. It chips away at your self esteem very slowly. Who can be bothered having to find witty retorts all day, AND do a job. OK if the banter is fun, but abuse is abuse, and is unacceptable.
To the OP - I suggest you find yourself a job where you like the work, but also the company, people. Could you apply for other positions? Is there employers who have bullying policies.
Check online, bullying costs the economy a hefty amount of money.
It wastes masses of time.
Also, if you google workplace bullying, there is loads of info about gettting help. There is a big site called bullyonline, which is massive.
It is validating to know, that others share your experience. |

I don't know the type of things they say, but what about try laughing with them and see what happens? That may sound odd, but does show that you are full of confidence....
Also....the company are paying you so you're defo having the last laugh..... |

Negative people will only bitch at someone who lets them get away with it.
The way to solve the problem is -
1. To complain to your line manager.
2. Hit them outside of work.
3. Play mind games and confid in one of the group that you're going to glass such and such. |

Workplace Bullying
Workplace Bullying is not a joke. The targets of the bullying suffer physically, emotionally, and economically as they take more leave from work as "mental health days", or they quit their jobs altogether sometimes with no other job lined up. Many targets have taken their own lives because of this issue. And this is not an issue of just "standing up for yourself." Most bullying happens in the form of mobbing, where there are more than one bully and the one target is helpless and does not know who to trust for safety. Most times, management has no idea about what is going on or they turn a blind eye to the issue. Often, someone in management is in on the bullying, letting it happen.
This issue has been, more and more, been studied and discussed everywhere. The UK has really led the way regarding this problem, but by no means are ridding bullies of their power---yet.
It's not a good feeling, I can tell you. I've been the target of workplace bullying and it left me feeling lost, depressed and wounded. And I am not the kind of person who lets people walk all over me. It got me and I didn't even see it coming.
It's not a subject to joke about and it's not about an eye for an eye. |

Well, its true.... it causes lots of emotional pain and you cant tell this to anyone near you. If I share this with people, then I would come across as a weak person or be labeled with low EQ. But believe me, mental harassment, snide and snarky remarks can do really bad as it stays in your mind. As someone earlier said, its a workplace to do work, not to sit around thinking for witty answer backs. 
The thing is, its easy to take on one person and answer back. But when everyone does it collectively, it is very hard. Think of it similar to lynching by a mob, but here the difference is that this is done mentally. It is the same case at my workplace. Because of recession, there are very less jobs and it is very hard to leave my workplace. Also, I love what I do over here and there are very less firms who do something similar. I feel even more depressed that I have to leave something that I love because of some rude and bad people. I repeat, I AM NOT WEAK, but a workplace is not somekind of a freedom struggle that you can be a Gandhi or a Mandela or a Luther King or even Jefferson. It's just bad politics and its very, very depressing.
Most countries have laws to protect against physical harm BUT I have seen that there are NO laws to stop mental harassment. People, especially rude people, may deny mental harassment, but it is a fact that it does take place and many people suffer because of it. It's easy for people to say, "ohh.. thats how the civilization is and that's how humans are!" but then it is very damaging to your self-esteem when you cannot fight back.
Anyways, thanks to everyone for the comments and replies. I am reading it regulary. I hope you'll and your loved ones dont go through all this. |
