[quote=Anonymous][quote]If the bully is retaliating, then that means that the boss is letting the bully know that you are complaining. The boss is part of the problem here. If bully has been allowed to behave like this for a while and has already chased one coworker away, then the boss is also a problem. As I said in a previous post, I would double down on efforts to leave. Not only do you have a bully coworker, but you also have an ineffective boss who isn't doing you any favors.

I'm sorry but this poster is spot on.  I would continue to document the incidents and maintain your professionalism.  I would be factual when discussing this with your boss but you need to move on.

I came in to my current position at the end of a situation like this. The person I replaced was much like the bully you describe.  My boss waited too long to do something about it and, as a result, lost a number of good people.  As a PP said, because this is the gov't, it takes a while to get rid of the person.  By the time he did, morale in the office was rock bottom and only those who couldn't get another job were left.  It sucked.  Hugs.[/quote]
