Bullying 201

Once one has been caught red-handed being a bully, what does one do? Why... Roll on the floor and cry "I'm being bullied!", of course!

That's the standard technique.

For having someone rolling on the floor right now and pointing at me yelling "She's bullying me", whilst I've done nothing wrong, I can testify that it's shocking and damaging, because now... I do have to justify myself officially. I can feel how someone who'd be less prepared than I am could be destabilized and in distress - a second time... for being bullied twice.

As it is, I've been working with someone who didn't complete an assignment on time, so I reported that fact to our boss.

The same person tried to catch up on work (I very stupidly gave that person a second chance), but decided that stealing someone else's work would be quicker - or that I wouldn't notice because I must be that stupid. Unfortunately, my brain cells are working properly, and I didn't accept that "work", and so that person's still behind on our schedule.

Instead of admitting that the work hasn't been done properly, that person is now saying that he's being targeted on purpose, and that, anyway, I'm incompetent (I seem to remember something about flies and vinegar, but it's in a blur).

And this is when my OCD saves the day, as I've documented each time that person didn't do what was asked. Oh... and I even have the proof that that person is lying about one of the things he's yelling from the floor.

I can justify my work, and I'll have to justify that I'm the victim in all that, and that the bully is trying to shift the focus to me, who did dare to say that the work hasn't been done (how dare I?!!!).

What a bloody waste of time!

Conclusion? Don't try to bully someone who worked on military strategy and who's OCD.

We really need to expose the bullies who are trying to play victims. I can't wait to meet my accuser... with my file on him and the proof that he's a bullying liar.
