I hope update is allowed.

Today I talked to my boss. Surprisingly, she was very accepting. I told her what happened over the weekend the aggressor and I worked. How the aggressor was passively aggressively rude to me. She was laterally commanding me (“Go home!”,"Go eat!) when she was just my peer, my equal, not my boss.

She was constantly over my shoulder trying to catch my mistakes. When i did, she would sneer. She thrives on the power of superiority. That just made me unable to focus. When I didn’t make mistake, she looked like a dear caught in headlights.

She was harassing me to the point I couldn’t concentrate.

My boss asked if I noticed any interaction between the aggressor and my co-workers. Luckily, I did remember and I told her!

Yes, I have proofs. I am a popular person. I even told my boss to ask anyone at work and they would back me up. This how confident I was.

Needless to say. The bully is not so brave now.

Lesson learned. Speak up! I wasn’t going to tell my boss until I learned that I wasn’t the only victim. Silence is not the answer.

I was harassed at work and I am going to file a complaint on Friday. I am scared as hell

    I think you are missing the point. The point is I stood up for myself and it surprised the bully. The bully thought I would remain quiet and be her punching bag. Now that my boss talked to her. She stays away from me and her tone of voice is very different.

    I am glad my boss, the lead and my co-workers are all on my side. As I said, I am very popular and kind. She mistook my kindness as weakness and it was her mistake.
