Workplace Bullying

Many adults believe bullying stops after high school and college but that isn't always the case. Bullies in the workplace are becoming more and more common due to the changes in generation to generation differences. We have all seem movies with bad bosses yelling at employees and treating them badly but from my experience that isn't usually the case, although I am not saying it doesn't happen often.
My personal experience has to do with coworkers. When I worked in the oil and gas industry, I worked with all men. I was the only female on a crew of about 10. Most guys were nice but there was one who stands out to me. He would stop working just to throw things at me, and this wasn't being flirty. He would throw garbage at me then yell at me to throw it away because I was a girl and that was my job. He would also ask me for supplies but very quietly so I couldn't hear him then he would yell at me and call me stupid as soon as he gained attention from the other guys. That was bullying.
I also have worked in a big name retail store where my manager being of a different race would make me do all the extra work, work late hours and would never give me a decent schedule but with the people of her race, they got the shifts they asked for and were never asked to do any work at all. I was always told to do their work.
I have worked in offices where a coworker would purposely catch me off guard to ask simple questions, when I would say, what? He would laugh in front of coworkers and customers and call me stupid or made it out as I don't know anything.
My ex husband was and still is a bully. He constantly demands money from me for random things he claims is for our kids but.in reality, he is using to buy himself and his girlfriend gifts. When I don't give, he calls me names and threatens me. He makes up debts owed and threatens to sue me if I don't pay them. He is a bully.
I have personally been a victim of bullying since I was a kid. As an adult I learn to shrug it off and not let it effect my daily routine. I know it is hard. Many days I sit and ponder on it all day and I get so mad I can't think clearly but I have tp remember that I am better than giving in. I have to take a breath, cry a little sometimes then work through the bad. Don't let bullying harm you. You are better than that. Nust because someone is intentionally hurting you, doesn't mean what they say is true. They may just be jealous, envious, or upset with something more personal, so don't take it personally.
