According toForbes, People become targets because something about them is threatening to the bully.
Psychopathic individuals know when to kiss up and kick down.
They may get close to you to pinpoint both your strengths and weaknesses ahead of time.
They will ensure your focus is on them and their actions rather than your work.
They might point out irrelevant mistakes or fabricated flaws because of their envy.
They exploit and steal credit for your labor.
They pit people against one another and lack empathy.
It is about getting where they want in the company and having dominance over others.
Eventually, they get caught embezzling funds, stealing the work of others, or bullying innocent people.
Their priority is themselves, not the company.
Do not disclose any personal information about yourself.
Be wary of individuals who tend to love bomb you early on.
Be measured in your responses to the bully and avoid excessive contact outside of the workplace.
Promote and sell yourself more while still sticking to your core values.
