Most bullies will stand down when challenged by the person they are bullying but for woman in the work environment it is a little bit more complicated because we are targeted because we are women but if we stand up for ourselves we are Biotch's or have chips on our shoulders, have an axe to grind, etc. If we take it to management we are seen as weak and unable to handle things on our own.
When you are a women, especially at a lower management level, you walk a fine line between those two areas. It is a balancing act that can and will effect your career.
I probably didn't explain that very well. I hope it made sense.
True, so very true.
