...bullying only affects the weak of mind.
Such an opinion reveals an arrogance and a completely self-centred state of mind. Bullying is all about the perception of the person being bullied and if that person feels threatened or intimidated then it has absolutely nothing to do with being "weak of mind".

Turning to the original request for constructive comment and help:

1. Begin keeping a diary of dates and times of these bullying events; it's not necessary to record 'chapter-and-verse', just a brief resume and details of anyone else who might have been present.
2. Consult your union representative.
3. Discuss and agree with your union representative, invoking your company's grievance procedure; if the bullying is by your line manager, then the process begins with his/her line manager - but you need first to make 'best efforts' to discuss it with him/her.
4. If you're not in a union you can get advice from the CAB or GATCO's legal advice line (if you're a member) and there are also some very useful links on the Dept. of Employment's website.

Good luck! And ignore the rantings of ignorant and insensitive people like Caesartheboogeyman.
