If I have beef with someone, I could punch them and go to jail.
But I can also bully them, humiliate them, degrade them, psychologically annihilate them even, and that’s fine, legallly. Why?

To clarify: I don’t have an issue. I have a coworker I’d like to punch. The alternative strategies I’m taking because I can’t punch him are leaving me feeling dirty.
Are you saying you’re the workplace bully?
No, I’m asking why can’t I just punch a guy who deserves it.
Because you aren’t a 6 year old and have to use your big boy words in the adult world.

Why not just ask this question in the OP?
You can punch them, but it’s battery. The same way you can mentally assault them, but that’s harassment.
I think a lot of people would also punch you after this thread

So you can’t physically abuse your coworker but you can mentally and you want to know if you’re going to get into trouble for doing so?
No. Ostracizing just seems soo much more harmful. It seems kinda backwards to me. What’s an acceptable response and what’s not. That’s all.
You are right for feeling dirty, maybe reconsider everything about the situation and work on why would you even let hatred be part of your work environment.
