No, this is something that happened nearly 20 years ago thankfully, but I thought I'd flag it up in case anyone else goes through similar. <br/>

<p>Many years ago I had bullying experience with a new director who tried to make points with my subordinates by trying to embarrass me in a meeting with them present. The mistake he made was challenging a recruitment process that brought great results and worked very well for the team. Everyone could see he didn’t know what he was talking about and when I questioned his logic and listed powerful results that countered his groundless claims--he relented. The team could see his critique was weak and his attempt to diminish me was unacceptable. Suffice it to say he ended up leaving after only a few months.</p>
<p>Like you, I responded by standing my ground and the bully relented.</p>
