It reminds me of the drama I dealt with in Junior High and as a newbie to this particular work environment surprises me to see grown women treating each other this way.

I know. I almost put in a picture from Mean Girls but decided on this cheesy one ;) Whatever 'name' we want to call it, bullying for no reason and then giving constructive criticism or being firm is so different. Just like you say, if you're also doing it to make you feel better it's such a low blow and I think in the end, it catches up to you. @Royce Ha! I know.

I'm sorry to hear about the emotional and mental problems. Companies can and should realize the repercussions involved here and I think the best companies also realize they should take care of their employees. Thanks for stopping by. I hope to hear that you're working at a much more supported company. @Kate Wow, what a story. I'm sorry to hear about the emotional and mental problems.

To me, workplace bullying seems more like trying to get your way with something - either to make yourself look better, to get something that helps you/your project, to put down a competitor, etc. Just being a dick in general is more like being catty or causing drama out of spite or your own personal grumpiness. Does this make sense?<br><br>Anyway I typically find the best approach with this kind of thing is just to put your head down and work your ass, and then be supremely confident in your abilities in your accomplishments. If you can vocalize your value in real terms then no one can tell you different.
