Run!
Today, we had a family day at my new job. I used to have a very abusive boss in my previous position, who even slapped one co-worker across the face in the office, prompting me to quit. Guess who turns out to be my new manager's wife… FML

We meet again
Today, the person who bullied me throughout my childhood eventually resulting in me going to therapy and switching schools became my boss. On top of that, he refers to me by the insulting nickname he called me during childhood. It's good to see that growing up hasn't changed him at all. FML

That sucks but people can change. Give him a chance, but stand up for yourself if he hasn't.

Now that you have experience, you'll know to wear extra-strength underwear and a snorkel mask to the bathroom!

And here I was living under the illusion that the people who were always bullied in high school became the CEO's and the bullies the lil toadies. Damn OP, you ruined a popular belief.

OP your bully may have grown up, don't be so quick to assume he'll make your life horrible while at work. You could end up being best friends, give it a few days. He may have had a stressful home life that caused him to act out and strike whoever happens to be in his path. Again wait and see, I used to be tortured in middle school and well into high school till I got got a backbone and stopped taking shit from everyone, most of those people who tried to get to me are my best friends now. Try to be friends out of the gate, don't let the past intimidate you.

I would quit personally. I was bullied and I wouldn't even give them the time a day now. Hope things work out.
