In the end, you must look yourself in the mirror and ask “is it just me?”. If the answer is no, then as long as you wait and endure this treatment, you are enabling it. What you accept, you condone.
Best of luck, and I hope that this helps. There are too many great flying jobs out there today to put up with this abuse....
THIS!!
Why tolerate it? It’s easy to be nice to people. Life is better when you’re kind. Our society depends on an unwritten social contract—someone holds an elevator, you thank them. They mispronounce a name, you gently state it correctly. We all benefit from being civil, and we all pay it forward.
Perhaps it’s because for me, I’m cognizant there’s less time ahead than behind, but the older I get, the less tolerant I am of this nonsense. That’s true under any circumstance, even when it’s not directed at me.
Often I’ve found simply asserting “that’s no way to speak to a colleague, please stop” stuns the offender into stopping. Some bullies don’t need a verbal slap, just a reality check. Others need the verbal slap - “that behavior is wrong. STOP!”
If someone fires me for refusing to be bullied, F ‘em. They’ll have to replace me and any job not being yelled at is better than that one. No amount of cash is worth that stress and emotion.
Good luck, and stay kind.
