Bullies, bullies and more workplace bullies

She always had this face like every morning someone had dumped half the world chillies supply in her food. Her attitude was my brain was not working well enough for me to be eligible to have an opinion or do anything right. Even if it was raining courtesy and kindness she would use an umbrella. In her mind my mobility up the corporate ladder was a crime that justified her bullying. Initially I had thought these were performance issues and so I tried to up my performance. I decided to become the most dedicated employee in the history of the SADC region. I also decided to punctuate our interactions with a smile so wide with it looked like I was auditioning for a toothpaste commercial.

I decided to take her snide remarks and translate them into ‘Corporate Growth Opportunities’ to keep from breaking down. But it didn’t work. This was a lady on a mission.
