With the job market the way it is, I was a little afraid to stand up for myself. I work with someone who is a bit of a bully. I'm not a small guy, but I only use my strength for good ! LOL Anyway, the "bully" decided to speak awful towards some people including me. I told him that he wasn't allowed to speak to people that way and if he continued, I'd have to take it to a higher authority. The bullying has gone on for 4+ years (waaaaaaay too long).
I was firm, I got my point across and I did it without stooping to his level. It's been 3 days now, and it has stopped I hope it stays that way !

Well...the work week is over and it was the best week I think I've had since I started working there 5 years ago. It really paid for me to stand up for myself. A couple of the guys (2 of them) kept their distance from me, but the rest of them are talking to me more ! I think this could be the beginning of good things to come ! To Jillzmind and Energy....thanks for the support !
Hi music man, this is awesome! There have been many times when I've wanted to say something but held back. Way to go, and good for you!!!!

That is wonderful music man I work with lots of bullies. I have been there for 3 years I wish I could have been so nice when I stood up for myself this past year. Instead I told then if you all want to push me around anymore they would have to start paying my bills or I was going to snap and beat some a##. Well it stopped but now everyone thinks I'm crazy. LOL
I should have had the program sooner. take care Bria

Hi Bria! i am very new to this program. i just want to say that I can really relate. i am not confrontational at all. I am scared to get into fights because i wear weave and wigs alot; i dont want anyone to pull it off my head. I really wear them for a purpose. Since i started the program, i have really stood up for myself! I am glad things are progressing for u as well! YOU GO GURL! -HOriginally posted by Bria Murphree:
