How do you handle an office bully who is nice/nasty?

This person will never change so you should just spend as little time as possible around him.

If you confront him, it sounds like you would be on your own and your manager might side with him.

Stay as far away from that person as possible, he sounds seriously damaged.

If he EVER does that to you, ESPECIALLY in the presence of an audience, I believe you should be as emotionless as possible, make sure your face registers CONCERN. *

Turn, face him, and say, "What is that ABOUT, anyway? I mean, I realize that you are a SUPERIOR to all of us, here, (indicate everyone around, get them involved, this way). We come to this place, to do our best possible JOBS. Do you really think it's PRODUCTIVE to put us DOWN?"

Shrug (DON'T SAY, but look like, 'I don't GET you.')

And, walk away.

To co-workers, you'll gain respect. If it becomes a personnell issue, YOU look more like management material.

Whatever happens, do not bait, or TRY to engage that idiot, he's a lawsuit waiting to happen, for that company.

Finally, do not show or express emotion, when dealing with business. "Angry, embarassed, hurt, ..." are not words that belong in your conversations with, or about him -You will be dismissed as "emotional."

If Management IS aware of the situation, buy yourself a little notebook or microrecorder, that you tell no one about. Make

brief records of incidents, who was there, what transpired, dates, times -fill in details later, don't do it openly. Because if your company is allowing this, at some point, they're probably going to get called on the rug about it. If you're the one doing the calling (probably suing them), this could be excellent documentation.

Good Luck.

Somebody like that is a menace to whoever they are around, so it's best to acknowledge the person by saying "hi" or "hello" only if you have to and taking pity on them, but keeping your distance. And just remember a couple of things:

1. Everywhere this person goes, he's an asshole.

2. Everybody else can see right through him.

I will bet more are laughing at him instead of with him! Just have everyone say something like Please not now.( Use a little professionalizum when you want insult me PLEASE). JUST WALK AWAY AND SMILE! Do not try to degrade him because it might cost you a job but you can walk away with no fear. Ask other people what they think of him and go with the flow. Do not try to degrade him as this will bring you to his level and we all know his level is about butt high for the boss.

that's a complicated one and if administration places up with the shenanigans of the bully, you're quite lots SOL. it must be time to start up finding for yet another activity. you should report a harrassment declare with the right events yet be arranged to lose your activity in case you do.

Keep focused on your purpose for being there, then you kill him with kindness. Remember where you are is a place of employment, your not there to make friends, that is a person that is lacking something in their life, they are sad, depressed, and emotionally disabled, so for them to fullfill themself they find it quit easier to pick on someone else. Your in a place they want to be.

beat him at his own game!!!! in other words ----beat him to the punch...i`m not saying be mean to your fellow workers-NO!!! Just make HIM the object of ridicule in a very subtle way!!!!!!!something harmless but yet embarrassing to him...your coworkers will love it that you found his weak spot with no real harm done to anyone( except the jack***)..it takes work to pull off, but the reward's are " PRICELESS" *.*

Find out what he drives and do some damage with some maple syrup in the tank, lol!

laugh with his joke and then make a joke about him while laughing. then it looks like you're his "friend" but he realizes how much it sucks.

It's called a hit man.
