"Here are some things I learned from my colleagues and my advisers over a long career during which I experienced extreme stress and intimidation. I hope this will be helpful to anyone suffering from stress at work:
1. Unfortunately, bullies are everywhere – learning to manage them is an essential skill. As soon as you feel that you are being intimidated by someone, calmly challenge the behavior. If you do not, they will think you are weak and have the upper hand.
2. Bullying tells more about the bully than about you. Most bullies have their own problems. That's why they intimidate others: to feel better. I have learned (possibly) to have mercy on those responsible for bullying.
3. The work is not a prison. You do not have to work in a place that harms your health. Build your life so you can go. There are nice people, teams and jobs. Do not make so many financial commitments that you absolutely need a particular job.
4. Be honest with yourself about your strengths and weaknesses. Would another line of work be better for you?
5. Invest your time on yourself, your friends and your family. That's all that matters at the end of the day.
Good luck." – The botanist
