Just remember that people who bully others are hurting themselves. Try to overcome the hurt they cause and get down to the root of the problem. Be overly kind to them, because the world needs more kind people, especially kind in the face of bullying. Pray for those who persecute you!

Quitting is not a good answer, I would recommend telling your boss or confronting the bully as an adult.

Report it to a manager. Bullying isn't something that should be condoned anywhere and if it is then you should report it to the police as it is an offense, and it's an offense for a manager to not do anything about bullying/harassment.

You might find it helpful to talk to your supervisor. If your supervisor is unhelpful, talk to Human Resources.

Try to stay focused at your work, and make it seem as if you're not bothered so the person goes away. However if they don't you must realize this is serious offence. Tell someone you know can take action, not someone who can try to make it harder for you.

You should talk to a person who is bullying you and ask why he is doing that. He is probably feeling bad and bullying others makes him feel better.

Definitely tell a co-worker, a friend or anyone about it. Bullying is serious and has to be stopped.

Tell you boss, if you haven't told anyone. You need to tell someone, family, friends. But your boss is the only one who can do something about it

Bullying is never acceptable, whether it is at work, at school, or anywhere else. Period.
Talk to someone about what is happening; your manager, your boss, or even corporate office. Quite often companies have an anonymous number you can call and speak to someone who is impartial to the company (meaning the number you call is an anonymous line staff by people who so not work for the company) and you can voice your concerns there.
A more direct way of handling the situation is to speak directly with your manager or boss and inform them on what is happening.
