No, it's not bullying. It's called 'being professional'. You don't have the skills to do the job, it's not their problem it's yours.

"For he was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His kingdom was divided, couldn't stand
He was weighed in the balance and found wanting
His houses were built upon the sand"
