Oh, I told the boss ages ago, and she basically just has an attitude that she cannot take sides. So I told some others who attend the place (A Senior Center, and yes, I work there in a minor capacity). A couple of the bully's friends have taken a dislike of my "telling it like it is" to other members. They feel sorry for the man, they have never witnessed any of his nastiness personally, and he has "shell shock, the poor man, you should feel sorry for him because of what he has been through...." [well I am PTSD too, and I told one of them so, and also why]. So just about everyone in the place has heard my side of the story. I said it loud and clear to one of these women friends of his who was trying to shut me up and blame me for his deciding to leave. I don't know if I should have done this, but I was just fed up with being blamed for his decision to leave. He told my boss "I'm leaving because some people are trying to get me into trouble." He was, of course, referring to me and another person he had insulted so badly that he is no longer speaking to the bully. This other person who was targetted by the bully and I also spoke to one another frankly and loudly about what the bully had been doing to us. These women who are the bully's friends were complaining about that and saying that we should "not be talking about him behind his back." We were just comparing notes was all, and we made no effort to do so quietly either.
