In the states, there are laws requiring the employer to provide a “safe work place” and it’s not referring to OSHA equipment. You don’t have to put up with BS from employer OR employee.
In most locations, there are also “anti-bullying” laws and rules regarding bullying in school.
The down-side is that proof is often difficult at best.
I went through it a lot in school. Luckily, not at all really in college – it was more like pranks and messing around – and those of us who were bullied in earlier life saw it differently, joked back, and knew that if it did cross the line, it wouldn’t have taken much to stop it.
I face other difficulties at work – luckily, where I work, however, would never tolerate ANY form or bullying or harassment, they take it VERY seriously.
