Dealing with co-workers is something that one must do in any job.
In some cases, co-workers can be amazing and not problematic at all.
But in other cases, you might encounter some despicable people.
For example, the ones that like to bully people for no apparent reason.
The OP was working at the counter of a store.
As the OP said it was a grown man with an 8-year-olds mind.
So, they used to laugh off these jokes uncomfortably so as not to be a jerk.
It seemed that this co-worker simply didnt understand social cues.
Like, when told to stop, he never stopped.
It happened when one of these jokes with a stapler broke the OPs skin.
Technically, they were injured because of this joke.
So, the next day, they confronted the co-worker.
At first, they tried to be civil, but the guy just laughed at it.
They said that theyd go to management if the teasing didnt stop.
This made the bullys eyes fill with tears.
And he didnt lose his job then.
People online cheered the OP on for standing up for themselves.
This prompted some netizens to share their own stories of similar co-workers.
And its no wonder why there are so many stories about co-worker-bullies.
Apparently, almost6 peopleout of 10 people have witnessed or suffered bullying in the workplace.
Sadly, bullying takes a toll on the employee who is experiencing it.
In fact, it can majorly damage a persons psychological well-being.
And then it can damage not only their work performance but other areas of life, too.
Fortunately, some people stand up to it, just like the storys OP.
Its not worth ruining your life because of some obnoxious person!
