In the workplace, we often encounter people who bully the weak and fear the strong. They think their behavior is acceptable and even necessary to survive in the workplace. Whether you're a newcomer or an experienced employee, you'll inevitably have to deal with such colleagues. If you find yourself being bullied, how do you respond?
