And, similar things happen at home when there are difficult, toxic people there, too.</p><p><br></p><p>Oh, yes, and <strong>Hijackals® and Rhinos like to take credit for things</strong> they did little or nothing to achieve, too! Sound familiar? What do you do then? Listen to these empowering strategies for ideas on your next best steps.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Bullies at work</strong>? Oh, yeah! They're there, and they wear you down and wear you out. You need these pro-active <strong>anti-bullying responses</strong> to feel safer around them...and more powerful. Because that's the issue, isn't it? They are there to make you believe they have power over you.</p><p><br></p><p>Of course, if they are the boss, they do. Speak up to those over your boss. Or, if that's not possible, you'll be looking for a safer place to work now, right?</p><p><br></p><p>When the bully is not the boss, though, you can first of all not tuck your tail between your legs and make yourself as invisible as possible. Yes, I know that might seem appealing--and with outrageous bullies that might be the only sane thing to do--however, when you <strong>make eye contact </strong>with them in a non-confronting way, you begin to take back your power.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Power games</strong>? Yes, and remember the \"game\" part. If you don't play, there is no game. If you can stay in \"neutral\" and not give an air of feeling intimated, it's a very good start.</p><p><br></p><p>Do you know the right path to speaking up about the bullying at work? Do you know what to say? Get good ideas and strategies in my Season 2, Episode 6 broadcast of <a href=\"https://shows.pippa.io/hijackals-conflict-toxic-people-narcissist/8-strong-steps-to-handle-bullies-at-work-and-home\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">8 Strong Steps to Handle Bullies at Work.</a></p><p><br></p><p>It's common to feel <strong>intimidated by a bully at work</strong>. No one enjoys being around them! If you can rustle up some nonchalance, a good <strong>neutral stance</strong>, you'll feel better and be more effective.</p><p><br></p><p>You don't want to feel like a wuss, a doormat, or <strong>turn yourself into a pretzel </strong>around a <strong>toxic person</strong> at work, right? You want to have effective responses that <strong>reduce your stress</strong>. Really practice daily these three responses for the next month. It WILL help.</p><p><br></p><p>Think that bully might actually have bigger issues?
