Stood up for myself again...

[Ponyup]

Lindsey I think Chris & my co-workers are brothers. He gets nasty with me, does no work & puts everyone down. He's being moved out of our department now. I'm upset about it because he's taking a lot of my work & won't do it as well & me & I would imagine it will come back to me before too long because he just won't get it done. But he's moving to the office across town so I won't have to deal with his negativity anymore. so it may be a blessing in disguise. I'm so proud of you for standing up for yourself. Maybe your boss will keep a better on him now that he knows there's a problem.

This is the first place I've ever worked where I've found that kind of negativity in the work place, and to think it's coming from a 45 year old man! I'm glad your coworker got moved. Unfortunately mine will never be moved or fired. I'm anxious to see if my boss brings up anything about negative and inappropriate language in this morning's meeting.

I'm proud of you for standing up for yourself, but sorry that you didn't get to talk to the boss one-on-one. If things don't change you may need to consider talking to the boss alone!

Lindsey, I'm glad your email was taken seriously and in the way you'd hoped.
I really hope steps are taken to improve your workplace now. Just one or 2 bad apples can really make it miserable for all.

Well it looks like not much has changed, but as for now it isn't affecting me too much since the work has slowed down considerably this week. This morning he was talking back to my boss and really just acting like a jerk. My boss called at lunch time from a meeting, asking if Chris could please print out something for him. Chris just didn't reply (he was on speakerphone in the lunch room) and my boss kept asking if he's still there and Chris just said "I can't hear you!" and then looked at all of us and giggled. My boss thought he had bad cell phone reception (although he was actually coming in loud and clear) so he was like "Oh okay, I'll try going outside" and it was a really cold day today. He finally got outside and asked if Chris could hear him now and Chris was just laughing to himself the whole time and he said "Yeah I can hear you now!" and then went to print the papers for him. He just thought he was the coolest and funniest guy ever to make the boss have to go outside to talk to him. I don't understand how a man of his age gets kicks out of that.

Oh, my goodness, what a jerk!!!! How embarassing for your boss. I can't stand people who do intentionally humiliating things like that!!! So sorry you have to put up with something like that. Someone should have videoed that session and somehow set it up to play back to the boss in private.

Agree a right jerk, must be awful to work along side him.
Do you not have to log your name against all work/drawings done, can you boss not see who does what work?.
