Tactics Of A Workplace Serial Bully Boss

"Then there is another type of bully boss which most people would not even perceive as a bully.

From the link above: "In my first emotional assault, my bully called me into a meeting with her and a Human Resource Rep to “discuss my needs”, only to reprimand me for “intimidation of subordinates”, a grossly twisted, half truth. My bully boss knows how strongly I feel about treating everyone, especially subordinates, respectfully. Knowing this about me, she knew it would be especially hurtful to accuse me of just that. It upset me horribly and I couldn’t stop crying at my desk for most of that day." This is really true of the serial bully. However, one should never break down and cry when faced with such a boner-head. Crying, being hurt and angry is what provides the sociopath his kicks. Best to give the sad wanna-be a wink and congratulate them on their ploys, though you may want to point out that they were being just a tad bit obvious. Follow it up with a giggle. Bullies hate that!:):)
