My lead is Chris, a 51, in shape, bald headed poor man's Conor McGregor. He's a IT guru, been here 12 years, knows everything about the network and infrastructure. I've notice if you're old, frail, small or not very knowledgeable in IT, he will talk to you aggressively and just handle you bad.
We have a new IT guy working with us. Small Indian guy smh. Week 2 and his asks me "Chris (lead) is kind of pushy isn't he?" I respond, " I guess he can me, but not with me." That's when I realized he's kind of a bully to smaller dudes. I didn't know advice to give him to be honest. All the Bullies I've ever encountered in life that tried me, ended in a fight. You just got to beat azz, cause I'm not working on eggshell or being intimidated by anyone. Just beat my azz. . That's a work or church or anywhere. Not even when i was in the military. I was fighting then. But I'm a big dude, tattooed and scarred up

I fights.
Has anyone encountered bullies at work in a professional environment?
