Excellent - Like the author, I was a victim of Bullying too at the same place - but, I retaliated when the bully was directed to me and the line was crossed - spoke up defended myself from the bully

In the workplace - lets have a conversation not a confrontation

Absolutely agree with you on starting conversation. Both you, me and a lot of our tech friends can use our skills as armors and shields. Unfortunately, many of our colleagues are a little more vulnerable especially since most startups often do not have a full-fledge and empowered HR department. I hope that we can start speaking up more and coming into defense of these colleagues sooner to prevent workplace bullying from taking shape in the organizations we're a part of. Thank you again for speaking up, my friend!
