Then again, I feel like it toughened me up!<br />Totally agree about the blogosphere. I've had multiple run-ins with bloggers about everything from getting in touch with PR's and blogsales to blog content and integrity. Each and every time whoever I've been arguing with has attempted to bring in their biggest blogging 'friends' to make up some kind of gang and it just makes me laugh. I never aim to upset or offend anyone with my blog or twitter account and if I do I'm often ready to accept the responsibility and apologize. By the same token, I'm not prepared in any way, shape or form happy to apologize about or back down on something that I believe in. Some bloggers have a problem with that... never mind, eh? Haha.<br />Good for you for treating people good, we'll be rewarded in heaven, right? <br />Love<br />gabriellasofia<br />xGabriellaSofiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05643825186661877656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459213053873834467.post-18536452960741659122012-05-24T19:23:09.740+01:002012-05-24T19:23:09.740+01:00I was bullied at primary school for being 'the...I was bullied at primary school for being 'the new gril' after moving scholls. Karma bit them girls in the ass though when we went to high school and I was more like than them, seems so trivial but things like that stay with you forever! I have found blogging to be a bitchy place somtimes but I am a true believer in surround your self with people who love you and treat people how you wish to be treated :)<br /><br />Big hugs<br /><br />Em<br /><br />x<br /><br />http://www.emsmixedbag.blogspot.co.ukEmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633719220550528719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459213053873834467.post-90889611526250252362012-05-24T11:45:54.737+01:002012-05-24T11:45:54.737+01:00Thanks for such a great reply Rach! Bullying in th...Thanks for such a great reply Rach! Bullying in the workplace is always really hard to deal with, because like you say it is never a newer member of staff or junior member who is bullying the older more senior people, but the other way round. In spite of working in my first ever job for a year, I literally hated every minute of it from my second week onwards because my boss was a bully. Actually, there were two bosses and one was really nice and the other was horrible. The mean one would do nasty things like change my rota and not tell me so I showed up to work too early or too late, she wouldn't let me have the paid holidays I'd earned even if I requested them way early on, she wouldn't give me my pay slips even though I'd asked for them over and over, she'd force me to do potwash because she knew I hated it, she made me go home and memorize the restaurants new menu the week before my GCSE's if I wanted to keep my job, even though she did this to no-one else. <br />She didn't like me and targeted me for a handful of reasons 1) I was the new girl 2) I was the youngest member of staff by at least five years 3) I was a part-timer and went to school, which she absolutely hated because she knew that I was treating her career as my first job. <br />I eventually left after a year because I had enough experience under my belt by this point that I'd managed to get another job, but I made a huge point of screwing her over. I had a meeting with her boss, handed over a log of all the bullying she'd done and explicitly said that I was leaving SOLELY due to her. She had a hearing or something after I'd left, although she STILL works there five years on. Even though she kept her job, I'm happy, because that hearing was an inconvenience to her and she must have been worried at the time. That's enough for me :)<br />BEAT THE BULLIES!<br />Thanks for your comment Rach :)<br />Love<br />gabriellasofia<br />xGabriellaSofiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05643825186661877656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459213053873834467.post-27911453499592993372012-05-24T11:31:23.125+01:002012-05-24T11:31:23.125+01:00Oooh I'll have to go check out that post!

I know, its really funny when the horrible people who once picked on you all of a sudden want to be friends, or need something from you and its just like, 'Um. No. Goodbye.' They always come crawling back! Haha. But you know, when I look back on the bullies it's funny because I'm now much happier than I know they are!

Bullying is a really horrible thing to go through.<br /> <br />The last bullet point is so true! When i was bullied at school a lot of them grew up by sixth form and one even tried to be my friend... but it’s hard to forgive someone that made your life hell! <br /><br />Tanesha xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12406971027364555088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7459213053873834467.post-36747359616616666212012-05-23T23:09:09.956+01:002012-05-23T23:09:09.956+01:00really glad you wrote this post gabs.
'bullyi...really glad you wrote this post gabs.<br /><br />'bullying in the workplace' is actually a topic i've been researching lately after some particular incidents. it is difficult to know how to handle a 'bullying in the workplace' case especially when the person in question is in a higher position of power in the said workplace than those who feel that they are being treated unfairly and 'bullied'. <br /><br />however, because all people in this particular case are adults i found that sitting down and having a very calm and reasonable discussion with the 'bully' has been an effective way to deal with it as often bullies don't like to be made to look inferior to the person they are bullying. my advice to anyone recieving bad treatment in the workplace is to always try to come across as the more mature and more 'adult' person. if the bullying continues and other people need to become involved they are likely to respect your mature way of handling things which gives you more credit than the person who is acting as a bully.<br /><br />i hope this has contributed to your discussion :) really interesting post! xRachel Maehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933995397316901406noreply@blogger.com
