bullying in the workplace
Have any of you been victim to this?
What did you do about iit, and how long did it take before it was out in the open?
I felt bullied,intimidated and singled out by two members of management tesco, and today it all kicked off, tears etc.
Well at least my line manager knows now, I cried in front of night staff because I was dreading work thanks to them, and my manager was soooo nice about it, an d was being extra nice. He kept asking if I was ok and then he said " if you have any problems, just say because I dont want you to be upset and I'm quite approachable". Well at least it's sorted out.
And they left me alone yesterday,it's a start
Other experiences, good or bad?

I once had a problem with a girl at work who thought she was the manager but was the same level as me, there was a time she told me oh the manager wants you off the till to fill the shelves, so I did that only to get *******ed by the manager saying I never said that. That of course what led to me saying what this girl had been doing, she was quite good about it to be fair and suspended her for it.
That was just one of many things she tried to do, she was always trying to get people who were better than her sacked.

what a stupid girl!
Think she had problems in her life, still no excuse for the way she treated some people, she also stole someone's boyfriend on a night out when she already had a boyfriend herself, as you say she was very stupid.
I was being bullied at work in the last job I had before university. People calling me a lesbian because I chose to have my hair cut short (no offence to lesbians of course, but to me this hurt because I wasn't, and didn't want people thinking I was). It started with one colleague, but when she said it in front of my manager, he also started.
They'd call me a lesbian, constantly be asking 'Should we get you a girlfriend? Are you sure you're straight?', and shout out that I was a lesbian in front of customers - which was, to me embarrassing.
Admittedly, I let it carry on far too long, and ended up very stressed and upset about it, had to take a lot of time off because I couldn't face going in to work etc, and eventually quit work early in the summer before uni.

If I was a customer I would have phoned up and complained. Similar thing happened at my workplace as well, and the two girls involved had a cat fight in the yard after work.

that is disgraceful

Yeah, but I get the last laugh now because when I went back a few weeks ago, visiting my parents, the bullies were still there, whilst I'm now 1/3 of the way to getting a degree and potentially a much better job. 
I think when you look at it most people bully people at work because they are not happy themselves in life and are likely to be stuck in a shop for the rest of their working days.

Yeah that's how I see it.
They know they're going to be in the same position for their lives and can't get out of it, so they'll do anything in their power to get themselves as high up in that job as they can, even at the expense of their colleagues. It's a sad fact, and does make me pity them slightly, but it's not worth leaving the way I did - should always tell someone earlier, or make a formal complaint, I reckon. Hindsight's a great thing!

Yeah what's done is done now, you ain't got to worry about them now, as you say you will go on to much bigger and better things in life.
I was bullied by a team leader at the shop I used to work at. She didn't like that I did a lot of work for the management (although to be honest it was only the crappy work that no one else wanted to do). Then once one of the other tream leaders cottoned on to it she started bullying me as well. It was mostly nasty comments to my face, but they were probably saying things behind my back too. I complained to the manager who I was doing all the work for, but he basically took their side so I left - worked my notice as quickly and quietly as I could and just left them to it. I went back into the shop 7 months later as a customer and the place was a mess. The manager who had let me down had left a few weeks after me, I can only hope he was pushed out like I was!
Anyway, it was a few years ago now, and I'm actually glad I got to meet and deal with people like that because it's made me a stronger person and it helps in sussing other people like that in the long run because they're everywhere and you shouldn't have to put up with it.

I recently left a job because some of the people there were horrible.One girl in particular who I think had been there a while always made comments about me and laughed when I left the staff room and such.There was always sarcastic comments and extremely dirty looks from the supervisors and manageress.I never felt welcome.
I also got bullied a bit in my first job I think because
a)I was the youngest (16)
b)I couldnt do the job properly due to a lack of training
c)the people were *******s
I talked to my parents about it all and they said that almost all workplaces are like that,especially towards uni students as they are jealous.Even my dad's place of work (himself included ) look down on the new ones.
