Growing up in Flushing, Queens as a skinny Indian boy I was the target of more than a few bullies during my childhood. It's one of the reasons I have such a bad attitude towards anyone who tells me what to do as an adult. The impact of our childhood is apparent when during adulthood we're faced with similar predicaments and the same knots that were present at 8 years old start stirring up acid reflux symptoms at 30. What's different though is the reaction to the impulse to flee. I ran away from the first couple of bullies but then got bold and talked right back to them. After a few ass whoopings, I realized that these guys had real short fuses, and very sensitive egos. So I became an expert at insulting and jabbering and made sure they'd be humiliated in front of their peers. No amount of clobbering could mitigate the pounce in my punchlines especially when I shot degrading momma jokes from the ground. Sure I lost the fights, but I sure as hell won the confrontation because I had a big ass smile on my face and the Big Bad Wolf couldn't put a sentence together since momma was too busy being a whore to care her son wasn't going to class and was now pretty much illiterate.
As I got older, I got less skinnier and was less of a target. There was the occasional bully who felt that brown skinned Indians had no place in their school located in Whitestone, Queens. So I told them to kiss my ass and realized that I was immune to the insults, and unafraid of cracking my knuckles against a bully's face. Sure my punch didn't have much spike but it was about standing my ground and being sure of myself. No need to flee when I have something righteous to defend. Interestingly enough, bullies tend to shy away from conflict when it's put upon them. They like to surprise and strike. They're not very brave, rather they're actually cowards who use unusual advantages (size, weapons) to intimidate their prey hoping it will bring them to their knees in submission. Well I'll pass on submission to bullies and would rather engage in a fierce battle to the death because the world is all too often run by those who fleece the weak and underprivileged. Getting older, I do not advocate violence as a means of resolving conflict. It should be used as self defense only and bullies don't fight fair, so don't expect non-violent passive efforts to result in anything positive.
Corporate America is full of bullies. In every size, shape, color, ethnicity there are bullies in the workplace who like to take advantage of situations. They look for targets that are harmless and can be manipulated. They also look for people who will carry added burdens without the threat of having to pay more money or suffer any consequences. The direction of corporate policies is pretty tied to the profits generated by businesses. The people in charge take credit for the work done by the working class tier. The board of directors sit high and mighty reporting results and claiming credit for decisions that for the most part had little impact compared to what the mid-level managers did to implement policies into place. This isn't about the 1% having too much money. This is about the 1% using their money to keep average hard working people from furthering their careers and striving for greater heights. Litigation is often a means of bullying the little guy. Corporate giants greedy for more money look to enforce unfair policies upon employees with little regard to the consequences of those actions. Especially in a time when finding gainful employment is a challenge and providing for one's family is a daily grind even when employed. Corporate boards may feel strong while calling the shots and manuevering across their chessboard but they should be forewarned that those who were bullied when they were young are immune to threats. Heave your cannonballs upon my ship; target me with your corporate snipers; nothing will make me cave. I am no coward. I am not 8 years old. Let's get ready for a fight.

nice read! you write really well, punctuated with funny metaphors and emotive description.
I am all for bringing down the corporate hierarchy. I am not one to kowtow to bully behavior either. I hope that you had a fortuitous fight against the greedy ghouls whom bully their way through the hard working class.
