Dealing with bullies!
Bullies are aggressive people who are very astute at reading the cues. Workplace bullies share a common goal to advance their position in the company at the expense of a co-worker, often called the target (one who is bullied). The most destructive thing about office bullies is that they tend to target co-workers who are the best and brightest employees. Workplace bullies tend to drive out colleagues they view as threats: those who are competent, independent, possess good social skills, and have strong ethics. Bullies are a dark and destructive force at the workplace. We all need to have physical and psychological safety in the workplace.
True, most bullies are not liked. It is always best to treat others the way one would like to be treated.
