Days with Bully
Please allow me to narrate my own experience which I have faced during my work journey. During 10 year work journey, I encountered such bully at every work place as co-worker, boss. Earlier I used to think that this was my fate or mistake. I love my profession as Researcher and love to voracious reader that leads me under a bully‘s trap.
After 2013 I encountered life change scenario that my boss wanted to retain me despite closing all operations. He is very polite and charismatic and charming person. He ensured and assured me for all kind of support. I was transferred to next city(near to my native town) to establish new office at his behest I agreed because I wanted to move. Because there was no fixed pay date and any rules and it became one -man show. Always he tried to convince me working with him is good for me. Whenever I tried to learn or build my competency on any tool or domain. He said that is not your work ,we can hire somebody who can do.
After this, I was denied to access my paycheck related documentation and always put me under work pressure to finish this task .Bully (He) always promised me to give, but time would never come. I was emotionally broken and my self-esteem reached at low and 3 + year has been passed to waiting to see a good day.
When he got confident that I am not leaving him anymore. He accepted that he always tried to put me under work and wanted to control my mind.
Recently I told him that I cannot work until I would get all documents and dues. I made my mind that I do not entertain like him bullies. Be true to oneself. Loudly Say No if you do not like.
