Think there's a difference though really between banter and bullying though. Banter can be a laugh or it can wear people down until they give up or fall out.

Bullying is usually threatening behaviour and or physical or possibly verbal abuse.

I've seen both in the workplace and it's usually banter that causes the most friction and grown men fall outs and arguments.

Bullying doesn't and won't last forever generally.

Banter's normally just your boss being a complete and utter dick, safe in the knowledge you can't really tell them to f**k off.

The eighties/ early nineties might be before you existed but late teens/twenties are probably the only time in your life when it is acceptable to tell the boss to do one, which is infinitely more preferable to decking them and dealing with the fallout!

On topic and applicable to any job: If you like the work stick with it, working conditions/terms tend to improve as you get older/progress otherwise go try something else, life's too short to spend 40 hours a week in a job you hate.
