You already know the answer. If it’s any consolation, he’s obviously suffering from inferiority complex, and probably from frustrations since he can’t have you - if it’s true what you wrote. |

You could tell him first that if he doesn't stop giving you a hard time , you will report him . Sorry and hope it improves for you . Quoting: EUPHORIA777 Yeah, this guy has a crush on you i think. Give him fair notice, nice but firm, to back off or will file harassment complaint against him with management. Last Edited by Frankenstein on 10/10/2011 01:30 PM |

Ride the wings of the mind User ID: 3018467 United States 10/10/2011 01:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bullies will ALWAYS pick on someone they believe will NOT fight back. Your only recourse is to either completely ignore the bully (act like they are not there and that you can't hear them) or fight fire with fire. Bullies LOVE reaction, if you don't give them one, eventually they will give up and move onto someone new. No reaction=no bullying. A way to do this is pretend the words they use are the EXACT opposite of what the bully says. Pretend he/she is giving you a complement. Even smile and say thank you. This will confuse him or her. If this is harassment get it on audio, hidden video and go to your superiors or the police.

If You don't stick up for yourself, then prepare for whatever is "Dished Out" at you. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2076499 United States 10/10/2011 02:06 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | No, emasculate him in front of others, then laugh at him. Mental castration doesn't get you a rubber room or cell and it's easy... Bullies thrive on power, take that power away with laughter, scorn, a bit of mockery of your own. I agree with this. Maybe say something like "Wow (his name), I wish I could find a real man just like you. Someone who isn't afraid to pick on someone a third their size. Someone that is so sure of them-self, they don't mind pointing out every fault of others. I wish every man was as great as you." Then follow up quickly with "I'm going out tonight with a group of friends, most of them are just wee little attractive, athletic women that could use the company of a big manly man. I would invite you, but I am sure with your winning personality, you must have all sorts of friends begging you to hang out with them, and wouldn't want to try and steal you away from your busy social life." Say it all with a smile, as nice and sincere as you can, then walk off and go back to to work. Make sure you do it right after he has made a snide comment to you in front of a co-worker or two. If that doesn't knock him down a peg or two, I figure his reaction will be to cuss you, and if he does that in front of co-workers, you go directly to the boss and tell him everything, including what you said, why you said it, and who witnessed it. ps, I always include with any advice I give that you are responsible 100% if you decide to take it. If you do, and it works though... would love to hear about his reaction! |

User ID: 2122560 United States 10/10/2011 02:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Write a paper out and every time he harasses y ou write what he says, the time/day and if anyone else was around, keep a diary, let him see what you are doing, and if he doesnt stop go to HR or your Boss. I looked into this when I was getting Bullied by a female manager, She ended up getting fired , but my company was world wide and they had an independent hotline. I was on workers comp for 7 months for stress and acute anxiety. My local big managers wouldnt say anything to her, so I went over their heads. They are trying to get a law passed about bulling on the job, this happens more than people realize and until it happens to them they say just ignore it, but it isnt that easy, it starts showing in your health, leads to thinking you arent good enough and whats wrong with me, also suicide, just like school kids that get bullied, but here it is adults and having to make a living and jobs are hard to find KINGDOMS, NATIONS AND KINGS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT DOWN TO THEIR KNEES WITH ONE GLANCE FROM A WOMAN.

They use the Target to try to make themselves look good and powerful, these type of people alway do this, if you werent there anymore he would target someone else, they pray on the quite ones, but you can fight back just not verbally. You can web search it it , just type in Bulling on the job. they give you ways to fight back. KINGDOMS, NATIONS AND KINGS HAVE BEEN BROUGHT DOWN TO THEIR KNEES WITH ONE GLANCE FROM A WOMAN.
