Bullies have no power unless you give it to them by playing into their mind games. Good for you! Hilly,

It's very eye opening! I actually work WITH (not for) a corporate bully and he absolutely hates me because I don't let him get to me. I just returned to the office after being gone for a few months on maternity leave and he was in a horrible mood my entire first day. It just made me smile a little because he's too wrapped up in being mean to realize that we work for the same company and we're on the same side. He tries to terrorize everyone at work but people seem to take a page from my book and don't react to his bullying. The big wigs in the office know that he's kind of a douche to everyone else but they don't do anything because he's a great worker. For me, the best action is non-action. Great piece!

Women Bullying Other Women by Bonnie Marcus http://womenssuccesscoaching.com/2009/05/why-cant-we-just-get-along-women-bullying-other-women/comment-page-1/#comment-868 Bonnie Marcus Thu, 03 May 2012 14:11:47 +0000 http://womenssuccesscoaching.com/?p=1021#comment-868 I am so sorry to hear that you've had such horrible experiences working with women. I find that women can also be incredibly supportive and unselfish. It sounds like you are working in a competitive environment that tolerates this type of behavior. It's their insecurity in their position and their low sense of self-esteem that is more than likely causing such bad behavior.

I absolutely hate other women. I am bigoted in this regard. When it comes to most any group, race, religion, minority, whatever, I trust you until you give me a reason not to. Except for women. They are always horrible backstabbing monsters that would kill you as soon as look at you, with no mercy or regret -- just evil. The only answer is to get a job in which I am the only woman, or in which I work independently. Constant personal attacks, professional attacks, sabotage, humiliation…

I would hope that your supervisor creates an environment where each member of the team is respected for their contributions. Without a supportive, inclusive environment, lots of bullying can take place. It sounds like these women are very insecure about their own abilities and career.

Well, I noticed that our chat sessions were piling up quick, so I asked a supervisor if I could take them. He agreed and said to get off the phone, and just do chat all day. Well within minutes, my coworkers got curious to know what I was doing and asked. The minute that they knew what was going on, I heard unprofessional comments that were uncalled for throughout the day, and even had to email my supervisor of how my coworkers inappriately reacted. He apologized for that and was completely taken off guard but til this day, it really took a toll of the environment in my department with lots of tension and even 1 pathetically unfriend me on Facebook. Can you believe that!? lol Keep in mind: our actual supervisor is out of town on vacation so the supervisor that I email/expressed concerned to was in another office mind you, another country. Plus, its just the women except for 2 that had issues about this. Somethings don't surprise me anymore, and this situation actually didn't. The whole purpose of my request was to help our department but instead, I received the 3rd degree from my coworkers that were either insecure or jealous of our other supervisors decision.

You're so right. Once you understand your value and how your services benefit others, it helps you to charge appropriate fees. The mindset must be how you help others rather than a self-serving one. Congratulations! Ann, thanks for your comment! You’re so right. Once you understand your value and how your services benefit others, it helps you to charge appropriate fees.

My early mindset starting out as a consultant was formed by a well meaning friend's advice: "How much do you need to survive? Use the answer to set your fees and business targets." The result : I always under-charged and did not change my fees for over 10 years! With some trepidation I upped my fees - and surprise, surprise - my clients paid without a murmur. I still have to talk myself into charging my worth - but it is a vital part of healthy thinking. I’m glad you posted this.

Easier said than done, but it's important for our sanity and stress levels as well as career. Marina,
