Stealth bullies thrive at non-profits, government offices and public service organizations. Wrong was done to you. I’m not a lawyer and don’t know if you have a chance for a successful suit. In “Eliminate the High Cost of Low Attitudes,” I suggest different strategies than saying that you won’t work with someone. I don’t know if they would have effective in your particular situation, but they have a better chance of being successful. Anyway, I hope you’re doing well at your new job. Best wishes, Ben Hi New York,

I am female and was bullied by a female supervisor (nickname Evil One). She was incompetent, negative and condesending and you just couldn't do anything right. I went to the CEO of this well known non profit on 3 different occasions to explain that I could not work with this woman. I wound up being terminated and 3 months later Evil One and her entire dept were terminated. On one hand I felt vindicated (because she was found out) and on the other hand I felt my termination was not justified. Maybe I have a good lawsuit! Great article but really what can we do about it.

I do a lot of coaching over the phone - or face-to-face if you're in Denver. Check out my web site at BulliesBeGone for details and give me a call. Developing the inner strength is the crucial first step. Then you can be successful with tactics designed for your specific situations. Best wishes, Ben Hi Lulu, m2c, Ms. Pickles and Talina,

It goes on all the time. I wonder if there's coaching for employees when it is a midlevel manager or even higher that is doing the bullying? Good article about bullying at work.

I don't comment too much any more at the Caylee/Halegh blogs because so much of it already has been said and is waiting to unfold. At present I am perplexed about the references to things on those blogs by Beast and about Papa, I don't have a clue what they are talking about! hi m2c , thanks for remembering me.

I haven't seen you on the Caylee/Haleigh blogs recently. But I haven't been able to blog a lot there myself so maybe I missed you. Hope to see you there again soon! And, yes. Bullying needs to stop whether it's women or men or kids or whoever. It would be great to learn techniques to know how to stop it - to stop the bully. Hi, Lulu!
