When your manager is the office bully……….

Office bullying normally consists of offensive, insulting or threatening behavior.

It may start with bulldozing your ideas and thoughts and can be as severe as calling you names and threatening to fire you or give you a poor raise or rating.

You can confirm your manager is a office bully if:
He threatens to give you a poor raise or get you fired if you disagree with his thoughts or ideas.
He thinks you are a wimp if you don’t stand up to him and if you do he threatens to fire you.
He thinks 99% of your ideas are good for nothing and calls you an idiot or other offensive names.
He insults you in public repeatedly but in a humorous or sarcastic way.
You hear him spreading malicious stories about you and when you confront he refuses to even talk about it and goes on to insult you.

BBC published a article practical way to tackle office bully’s:
