What's the best way to deal with a workplace bully?

Talk to your supervisor. There are laws about people harrasing you at the work place. Talk to the individual about it.

If all odd fails get a new job or become his supervisor.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
