However, if an office bully makes you doubt your abilities or destroys your morale, it's time to take back your power, even - no, especially - if it involves a bully that's higher up in the organization.
When someone bullies you, it's always more about them than you. Bullying comes from a place of insecurity, jealousy, a need for control, or all three.
Verbal harassment, including name calling, derogatory references, and put downs make up a form of workplace bullying that is often targeted at women, and more often than not there's a power imbalance that favors the bully.
As women, we're conditioned to play nice, which makes us easy victims at times. We are perceived as less likely to retaliate.
