Bullied and denied more shifts (10)

Ross

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".)
