There is a bully in my team he sometimes public shames me, micromanaging, telling me to not side with specific people, being secretive about his work, talks to my manager in private multiple times per day, very gossipy guy, being nosy with my work and others work. He also resorted to personal attack when I provided a different design idea. He is my masnager’s friend and seems like a little bird whispering to my manager everyday which makes me feel very uncomfortable workng in an open environment. I cannot take another day working here as his behavior disgusts me and my manager has also distant himself from me which I have no idea why. How do I deal with this type of working environment? It is very toxic for me and Im losing sleep plus emotionally drained. Update: Spoke to my skip, there are couple options within his team for me. Also previous team welcomes me back but just have to go through the interviewing process. Trying to figure out if it makes sense to go back to old team or consider another team under my skip.
By leaving ?
Leave. Either transfer or switch companies
Leave the team immediately. HR is not going to help you.
This is the correct response. I can vouch for this one with personal experience. Also look at number of likes for this comment ! That should tell you something
Punch him in the forehead
Assert dominance!
Lol is this a Silicon Valley reference 😂
Time to move OP
Talk to your manager, if they don’t change their behavior, you change the team or company.
If I leave the team immediately, I have to find another team under my skip. Do you think it’s a good idea to tell my skip about this?
Yes, if you are having to leave your role because of a bully, at least point the bastard out.
For sure. That kind of behavior is not acceptable and I feel that it should be punished at some degree, especially if your manager made unfair judgment.
Tell Big Bill G he hates bullies
Get out of the toxic environment ASAP. You can't change other people's behavior.
