Without knowing the specifics, I will say you need to set boundaries.

Perhaps they think they are funny and do not realize you feel bullied. Office dynamics and people can be odd. Unless you explicitly spell out exactly WHAT is upsetting you, WHY it upsets you, and HOW you prefer they treat you, they may not catch on to subtle clues. Find a way to let them know you do not like what they are doing, ask for support from your boss or work buddy, maybe its happening to other people and communicating it to your boss will help? If you do not tell them that you don't like that behavior, it could be construed as permission to continue.

We can't offer guidance with more details. What actually happened?

I’ll take this one

1) be better at work in all aspects vs bully - in some cases now im their boss, in others we’re now the same level so bullying becomes harder for them
2) I work for partnership so I make sure I have partners that really care for me - so they can defend and will raise the issue on my behalf
3) keep your behaviors golden w others - so script can’t be flipped when issues are raised
4) only raise the bullying if it is impacting work directly - no one cares if it’s just impacting you or even your individual work
- if the bullying will kill a deal, lose firm money someone else is more apt to care
5) befriend their boss either professionally or personally - get allies that will observe and also be impacted by behavior - get someone else to raise the bullying is happening to them

Also if you’re a woman and bully is a guy, sorry bc this is gonna be all the harder. When we raise bullying it’s often viewed as a weakness of ours. Don’t be sensitive they’ll say. So be careful bout that.

I hope it gets better 🙏🏽

You could quit

WTF do I do?

Am I missing something with Quickbooks? I’ve been hearing a lot of firms use it so I signed up to try it but it’s quite confusing with the trust accounting.

Would I be better off investing in an all in one practice management + accounting + billing software? Any recs?
