Bullied and denied more shifts (10)
I believe the answer is:
domineered
'bullied' is the definition.
(domineering is a kind of bullying)
'denied more shifts' is the wordplay.
'shifts' is an anagram indicator.
'denied'+'more'='deniedmore'
'deniedmore' with letters rearranged gives 'DOMINEERED'.
'and' is the link.
(Another definition for domineered that I've seen is " Acted arrogantly".)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
