Growing up, dealing with my school bully was the absolute worst. He was relentless. Granted, I was homeschooled, so the bully was me, but still, I can be quite a handful.
Truthfully, it wasn’t until I made it into the adult world that I really started experiencing what the whole bullying thing was about, because it turns out, they don’t stay in school. They pop up in the workplace too.
Just listen to what these anonymous contributors have to say about it.

4. “I took a demotion”
Better than the alternative, I guess. A good job isn’t good if you can’t stand to be there.

3. “She used to upset me”
That’s it, take the power away.

2. “I need a new job”
Yeah I don’t think there’s any winning in an environment like that.

What a super weird accusation to go with.
