    He’s putting me down every chance he gets. Whenever I have even the slightest achievement to celebrate, he is right there to tell me it’s pointless and I’ll never actually amount to anything.

    So far he’s been right.

    I even tried switching employers to be rid of him but somehow he’s always right there wherever I end up, ready to continue tormenting me both at work and later, at home.

    I am he. I tried to run but it’s no use.

      What work do you try to do?

      I suggest that, instead of changing employers, you address this bully head on.

      • Tell him that your employer pays you whether you feel happy or not, and it’s not his choice to that.

      • Tell him that your employer would have already fired you if your employer felt you weren’t worth the money they pay you.

      • Tell him that your coworkers would have been telling you how awful you are, if you truly were awful.

      • Talk to your coworkers about this bully. He might be bullying them too!
