My senior colleague at my former office always said derogatory things about me as a joke,elevated my junior in privileges,etc.

One day I stood up to him and challenged him.
Till I left there,he had respect for my person and my office.

People must respect people.. You come to a place where a particular tribe is majority and maybe only you is different. They speak their language there frequently negating English even when you are there.
What kind of bullying is that?

Trust.the recent experience is bullying imposed by this economic Quang mire. Employers realized that the business is not doing well. Trust that the first culprit is the employees. The mistake most of them make is to sacrifice quality for quantity, which backfires in lack of productivity and creativity. The organization sinks deeper. They now start looking for COO to put things right. It can't work!!!
