If you're being bullied at work, you're not acting crazy enough. Just sing shit like this to yourself all day and see if anyone talks to you again*:

honestly this sort of nonsense is why I avoid management/team leader positions, depending on the company/industry you'll end up dealing with a LOT of ladder climbers and rung suckers. that and I don't want to be the kind of person that most of my managers turned into.
my general advice would be to try and talk it over with people who fuck up; often they just need to discuss the right way to do things. trying to resolve issues directly with them instead of going to a manager or HR will build a lot of trust, especially if they're aware that you could have. the minute you escalate to someone else's authority you lose control of the situation.
in this case I would try to keep interactions professional; make sure to show an interest in what they have to say but do not engage them when they're just bragging or talking shit. I don't think you ever really explained what this 'bullying' is, only that they feel they have power over you and others because of personal connections - are you meant to be giving them orders that they refuse to follow or something? -
2019-07-28 at 3:21 PM UTCI don't think pussyfooting is the answer at all. Best approach is the direct approach. You just meet him out in the parking lot one day after work and lay it on the line and tell him if he keeps opening his yap you're going to close it for him. Maybe grab him by the throat, just to prove the point. Take it from there.

I bet that will go down swimmingly, with his boss, and the police. If he was in the mafia i'd say yeah, that'd work. But Soy doesn't strike me as the type. -

Originally posted by Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country I have been too busy. However I plan on "going nuclear" next day I am in work, which will include general emails, speeches in each room, and outside of the office announcements.
keep your phone in your shirt pocket and record every interaction. -
2019-07-28 at 5:12 PM UTCsoi boi I like you but you seem like a next level bitch. It's ok, not everyone was meant to be a leader and it seems your field is one of the few where you can be some sort of leader with the qualities you have (no offence, I'm sure you're very proficient at your job) but I really, really just hope you take this as a learning experience. It seems you went about it in the right way once it got out of hand and I'm sure it will work out well for you.
Sounds like a really gay situation bro I literally could not do anything like that -
2019-07-28 at 8:01 PM UTCBeating them all up in the parking lot is the best answer I can give.

Did OP squeal-like-ah piiig? -
2019-07-29 at 3:57 PM UTCI'm still wondering why OP keeps using the term, "report", to describe his underling. I checked Merriam/Webster and other mainstream dictionaries, and all I get for the word, "report", as a noun, is definitions like "article", "rumor", "noise", "record", "account", stuff like that. Nothing about a living person in the form of a "report". Now I'm totally wary of the entire thread.

underlings are basically reports to the dept head since a dept's head's job is to make reports about their underlings. -

Report, noun, "GRASS", "RAT, "VICTIM". example:
"That fucking grass got me in trouble, I'm going to end his family".
