I was bullied by a couple of people at work. I'm quite a sensitive sod, and i kept taking it to heart. Until one day.
One day, one of these women call me, and demand i sort something that her department has made an utter duck up of. I say no. She starts trying to bully me. At this time, my uncle is very ill, I was trying to help a colleague whom had dementia, and I had the start up of a migraine. So, I was not in a good mood, and I shouted back at her, that I did not have time to do her job as well as mine.
There was a pause.
I think she went into shock. She never bothered me again. A few months later she got made redundant, because she was arrogrant/stupid enough to tell the new director that she wasn't learning how to used spreadsheets or mail merge because she had been managing perfectly well for 30 years without.
The other one had to come and virtually plead to me to sort her activities for her as she couldn't do it, despite having told everyone I was crap at my job. Her site was being closed, and she knew she was going to be made redundant, and she had no life outside her job, and agreed to take on a lower paid job in order to stay. Pathetic really.
