Are you being bullied at work?

Would you like to fight back?
Bullies, backstabbers and manipulators
Is there someone at your workplace who makes you feel anxious,
frustrated or angry? Does that person seem intent on controlling your
behavior against your will? Does he belittle, embarrass or even
humiliate you?
With most people, if you make the effort, you can usually get along.
Problems arise and are solved. But what if your boss, or one of your coworkers, resists any attempt to have a normal, mutually respectful
working relationship?
Maybe he is overly critical or micromanaging. He seems intent on
intimidating or controlling you. Or he appears to support you one day,
then undermines you the next. You find yourself on an emotional rollercoaster. You feel confused and manipulated. You feel like you are
alone in an increasingly painful struggle against his clever, self-serving,
destructive behaviors. Your job has become an ordeal and there seems
to be no way out.
If this is your situation, then you are probably dealing with a workplace
bully.
Over 30 million bullied

Youre not the only one. Roughly one-fourth of employed Americans
have reported bullying at work. Thats over 30 million people.
Unfortunately, most targets of bullying lack the knowledge and skills to
effectively respond. Either they dont understand the cause of their
problems, or they dont realize that its possible to fight back. That's
over 30 million easy targets. No wonder that bullies act with such smug
confidence in their ability to dominate others.
In reading this website, you can separate yourself from the crowd. You
can learn the skills and techniques to neutralize or even overcome the
bully in your life.

Or at the least you can become a less rewarding target, and maybe
hell go ruin someone else's day.
kickbully.com is dedicated to advancing the

understanding of workplace bullies, backstabbers and
manipulators, and to providing the tools to effectively deal
with their aggressive behaviors.
What is a workplace bully?

On its surface, bullying is a simple concept. A strong person acts
harshly towards someone weaker, and the bullying is blatant and
habitual. It includes browbeating and threatening, verbal abuse and
yelling. everyone recognizes that person as a bully.
Obvious bullies ultimately fail

An obvious bully is noisy, overly aggressive and blatent in his attempts
to force others to comply with his will. Resist him and he attacks like an
ill-bred pitbull. In some toxic workplaces, he may survive for years, or
even become a high-level executive.
But usually he will get himself fired. His nasty over-the-top bullying is
just too obvious. This simple, stupid version of bullying is rarely a path
to sustained success in the American workplace.
Beware the clever bully

Because of this, a successful workplace bully is usually much cleverer
in his tactics. He rarely resembles the stereotype. His methods are very
subtle, disguised with all the right behaviors.
In that lies his treachery. People respect and trust him, and he quietly
betrays their trust whenever necessary to fulfill his ambitions. For him,
the ends always justifies the means.
And if the bully is particularly good at this, no one except his victims
sees the betrayals. In some cases, not even the victims realize what
has happened.
It gets worse and worse...

To make matters worse, a highly skilled bully usually has the
dedication, focus and business acumen to create success, or at least
the appearance of success. Then he is honored and promoted, held up
as an example of a company-centric leader. He is rewarded while the

frustration builds among the targets of his bullying and intimidating,

backstabbing and manipulating. For them, life has become an upsidedown hell..
Beyond the traditional definition of "bully"

A skilled, clever bully displays an elaborate, complex set of behaviors to
exploit people around him. Those who only consider bullying to be
blatantly aggressive behavior are missing the point. Any habitual
pattern of intentional, socially cruel behavior is bullying, including the
subtle tactics of deceit, distortion, misreprentation and misdirection.
When the penalty for resisting someone is destruction of your position
and reputation, its fair to describe that person as a bully.
Using this broad definition, bullying has reached epidemic proportions
in the American workplace.
Accidental vs. intentional bullying

Not everyone who displays bullying behaviors can truly be described as
a workplace bully. If someone has genuine concern for your well-being,
he may be attempting to influence your behavior for your own good.
Just because you dont like his approach doesnt make him a bully.
Or someone may yell at you in frustration. But perhaps he lacks
emotional maturity and is overreacting to a stressful situation. An
isolated incident doesnt prove bullying. Good-hearted people often
make mistakes.
In contrast, a workplace bully has self-serving goals with a complete
lack of respect or caring for others, who he never considers as equals.
And among these moral and intellectual inferiors, he feels free to use
any means necessary to gain compliance. It is his perpetual intention to
dominate those he considers to be weak, naive, unaware or otherwise
susceptible to his guile.
