I’m actually struggling to believe that I’m being bullied in work.

[OmL]

By a man my own age, maybe 60% of my size and of course he’s my superior. It’s actually somewhat hilarious. So lately, I keep wearing in fitted long sleeve shirts, all in the colour shirts he wears and he’s been going mad at me. I saw him the other day trying to lift a steel display cage and he couldn’t do it, so I walked over and picked up the entire thing and just said “Where were you hoping to put this?”, and that got him revved up too.

But I’m all seriousness, how can bullying even still be a thing when we’re both in our 30’s? I’d actually feel embarrassed making the complaint about it like.

Chalk it up to him being insecure. Let it roll off brotha. You have nothing to prove to him. He's not important enough.

Some people never outgrow high school man. Sad but true.

Doesn't seam like physical bullying, it's more about power and domination through hierarchy.

A lot of guys on this forum have called me out because I have no real use for hierarchy, but the problem is that one man gets to run the show and others are expected to obey without question. Employers love to put control freaks in charge because it tends to be good for the bottom line, as they don't give a shit what you think and will do to you whatever the head of the company tells them.

Some people love being assholes, they get off on it, they will take any opportunity to demean and belittle. In another time when you could step outside and handle your problems like men this wasn't such a huge problem, but in today's world where twerps are allowed to dominate, the natural order has been upset and you have what you have today with men acting like women.....emotional and manipulative playing mind games....instead of what they used to be which was straight and to the point and if that didn't solve the problem it was a matter of fists.

Today's modern work culture has probably led to the mass exodus from the workforce of people looking to escape the twerps, assholes and jackoffs that run the world. People are looking for another way to make a living without dealing with people that a hundred years in the past would have been pounded to a bloody pulp for the way they act.

And there are animals 10X as strong as you, and 300% bigger

Thats what's power is about.. control! Why else would we pursue it!

Work hard and start your own company if you don't like following orders.

Or scale back your expenses and work at your own pace to make a living and enjoy your life.


You don't have to have your own company. Even though I'm retired I pick up jobs like bathroom remodeling, lately I've been putting up cedar fencing, finished a job of 350 feet a few weeks ago and made $7K cash no taxes paid. I don't have an official business as that would be stupid and attract attention.

One bathroom remodel that takes me and one other person can put $5K in my pocket for 8 days of work and I have the rest of the month off. All you need is old people on deaths door with lots of money to spend. Working for someone else sucks, but I fear in the future with the Latino invasion much of these kinds of jobs with quick cash will disappear for those looking for an escape from the daily grind.

Working 40+ hours a week for someone else is basically slavery even if it pays well, you're still selling your life as you only have 2 billion heartbeats before you're dead.

I’m 41 and the sales guy at work is 55. I’m big and tall and he a short and super insecure. He’s always trying to order me around and talk down to me.

Hes ridiculous though. I’m forever putting him back in his place. The owner loves it.

I’d rather be homeless than take shit from another man.

I never make it personal though and I always act like we’re friends, so long as he keeps it professional. But as soon as we develop a repoire he starts testing me.

It’s a forever battle with him. But, if you can check him without overdoing it, and hold your own, people will gain respect for you and see you as high value and him as low value.

That's the problem with our society today.

Guys like that would haven't lasted 20 minutes in the 1850's, someone would have blasted them.

Now the world is filled with pricks and bitches and normal people like us that just want to get our work done and not bother anyone are forced to play mind games. Psychology has become big business in the workplace because the economy has become a service sector where people don't work physically and so they have all this pent up energy where they direct it at abusing one another, without the threat of physical harm thanks to our endless laws that protect pricks.

I don't for a second believe most of these Americans leaving their jobs right now are lazy. They will and want to work hard, they are just sick of being demeaned at work. A little respect, common courtesy, and personal space and you'll have a guy/gal that will work hard all day long, but you start fucking with them and riding their backs, taking little digs and insults and it makes it a psychological drudgery.

I've had my share of being bullied at work and it's sad some people carry their insecurities from their younger years into adulthood. They felt inadequate so they bully others to make up for that. Bullying hurts no matter what.
