Toxic People!
"Remove the office bully"
Remember the days in the old school yard... Sometimes we look back to our school days with great nostalgia and forget about the bad days when we faced the school bully. You would think that in the grown up world of business that we as adults would behave as adults, but thousands are affected by the office bully. These toxic people should be shamed for the years of misery they have caused. What do they gain from insulting someone's faith, colour, family, height, looks and so forth?
How do you deal with people who make your life a misery? First you do not sink to their low level, you are bigger than they are. Do not be afraid to stand up to these types of people. You are not alone and your colleagues will be there for you. So what should you do?
- Are they really bullying you or is it just their personality.
- Document the occasions that you feel that you were bullied.
- Stand up but do not react the way they want you to.
- Keep Calm. Even though this is hard, an old proverb says "An answer when mild turns away rage." Take away the fuel and the fire will go out.
- Talk to the bully privately and be in control.
- Go to the authorities and use the grievance procedure
- Stay united with those who are on your side.
