Eh, to be honest, I flipped and became the bully to the guy who was bullying me over a work Foosball tournament.

He didn't like that I was his randomly assigned teammate for the tournament, and threw a fit over it. Tried to show up to the game and say I refused to play so that he could just play himself. Then, when I was alerted to play, he just stopped playing halfway through and stood there. When I asked him if he was serious, he gave me this smirk/smile, and refused to continue playing.

Anyway, it's been like 3 weeks now, and he spent a couple weeks at his desk not socializing, but now he's back to it and hasn't apologized for his behavior to anyone, including me. Everyone seems keen to just let him back into the fold, but fuck that, I'm not letting him off the hook. I at the very least want an apology before he's okay in my book again.

Other than that, we don't have a bully issue at work, everyone but this Manchin is chill af.
