What is a workplace bully?	The traditional concept of a schoolyard bully doesn't handle the breed of bully found in a typical office, workshop, store or other place of employment. Rather than physical cruelty, a workplace bully uses social and psychological intimidation and manipulation to get what he wants. He preys on people who are friendly, trusting and cooperative, which he views as a weakness.
What does he want?	Essentially, a workplace bully wants to control you without your consent. He may be after power, prestige, money, ego-gratification, or perhaps the instant pleasure of forcing another human being into submission. He may even be sadistic, taking pleasure in the pain of others.
Secretive bullies are the most dangerous	Some bullies are outwardly aggressive, others stay well hidden. A bully who is devious in his methods is the most dangerous. He knows exactly what he wants, but very carefully hides his objective. He may be charming and popular, but he will cruelly undermine anyone who stands in his way.
You complain, you lose	Among top management, bullies are usually highly respected for their aggressiveness. If you complain about a bully, you will usually be the one who loses. For this reason, kickbully.com gives you the tools to fight a bully without the support of management.
