I started working for the government almost 20 years ago. The bullying started about 15 years ago by a male coworker who is still working right next door to me he would always tell me to shut my radio because he could concentrate on reading his book. Then my next work situation was working with a female alcoholic all along at the same time the male bully was still working with me. The male bully and the drunk would team up together and start harassing. In 1999 they got rid of the female drunk and for awhile I just had the guy bully to deal with. In 2005 they hired a female employee I am currently working with and her and the male bully team up against me. They constantly slam and kick things. My office is a hostile work environment.
The lady I work with as soon as other people come in she is very nice to them. As soon as they leave it is another story. It is like working Dr. Jekyl and Dr. Hyde. Everyone believes her, my immediate supervisor just tells me to ignore it. And be the bigger person.
