One common mistake that employees who feel bullied and harassed make is reacting with anger to the harasser/bully. They either lose temper, raise their voice and give the harasser a piece of their mind, or they threaten the bully openly or implicitly with violence, or both. The above way to handle bullying and harassment at workplace is usually a serious mistake, as it gives your employer a perfectly legitimate and lawful reason to discipline the victim of harassment or even terminate his/her employment. In fact, in some cases, the employer has an obligation to remove you from the workplace immediately, at least upon completing an investigation, if you are involved in any kind of serious verbal or physical confrontation, as the employer has an obligation to maintain a workplace free of violence and take all steps necessary to both prevent and remedy violence at workplace.  

You must resist any natural urge to confront your bullying boss or co-worker in a way that would suggest that you have temper/anger issues. The right way to handle any kind of harassment and bullying is to maintain respectful and appropriate demeanor at all times, while taking administrative steps of complaining in writing to your superiors and the human resources management about the harassment and the bullying you are experiencing. In your complaints, it's better to be specific about the words and actions of the harasser, as simply saying "harassment" doesn't really communicate much to your superiors, as it could be many different things.
