Probably been seen a lot here, thought I'd post it anyway,
The Narcissist's Prayer:
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did…You deserved it.

you have two coworkers: a bully, and an ally.
you and your ally both hate the bully, but the bully only picks on you.
your ally does nothing because honestly, they really like not being bullied, and this is kind of your issue.
dafuq?
that's not what it means to be an ally.

They have risked their own reputation to support him.
They won't believe you.
Imagine going up against all that as a victim. #courage
