Workplace Bullying

No witch here, only a backstabbing male

Happened to me. As others say, document what you teach him, get witnesses for his behaviour, record it even in a pinch. This way you'll have evidence against him if he tries to undermine your position. Outside of your duties, avoid unnecessary contact and ignore stupid remarks.

Yes they usually do. Wish it was always true in real life.

Also I just realised how many of the classic Disney and other fairy tale villains are women!

Is this not classic narcissistic behaviour?
Sam vaknin on youtube seems to have all the answers on gaslighting and typical functions of a narcissist - i looked into my own behaviour once as part of research into narcissism and that proved negative. He will no doubt be doing this with others. I would keep as much distance as possible as he will burn up eventually. Good luck

Once you document, consider speaking to an HR representative for backup. You know your HR representative/department better than anyone. This may not be a good backup and could work against you if the HR personnel have a reason for favoring the one you are in conflict with. In a big company, it's less likely to work against you because there is less likely to be favoritism overall.

@Lysander, are you a member of a union?

I was fortunate that I haven't been bullied in the workplace or while volunteering. I haven't done as much paid or voluntarily work as some, that may be a factor.
But in High School and college, some people would try and bully me. I think it's worse trying to bully someone being an adult, they should know better, no peer pressure although that's not an excuse and they should have matured.
Some examples of how bullies tried to bully me was laughing at me, talking about me behind my back, mocking my voice, staring at where I was looking. It's horrible. And if it's not witnessed it could sadly potentially happen again and if it makes you angry or/and stressed people won't understand why you are.
