Drama&bullcrap at work,questions on what to do

Allright, I got hired 3 months at Farm&Fleet, along with a charatrer known as "Derrick"

We've got the same hire date, and job title... Carry out (garbage, dishes, carts, carryouts, and other pitty work)


He's a real prick. First off, he's lazy, and allways makes me finish his crap for him... He likes to take the "long route" with the cart pusher around the parking lot... And "chill" by the cardboard crusher.

But thats not all...

I was cleaning the bathroom, and he was in the supply closet. We got into an argument on who should clean what (womens bathroom vs mens). He ended up shoving me, so I shoved him back. He pushed me against the wall, and said dont ever argue with me again (or something like that) or I'll jack you in the face, dont think I wont, p****


A few weeks ago, I went to the store, and bought a toolbox for my truck when I was off... My mom was with me. The day after that, he called my mom a milf, and a few more comments on that subject. I told him to go to hell, and dont talk about my mom again. He said "or what, gonna rat on me, u nark" I went inside



Last friday, he wanted to borrow my truck. I said no way, why should I. He said he needed new tires for his car... I offered to let him pay for the tires, and I'd pick them up for him... He said he didnt want them to get stolen from the store, and we left it at that... Theres no way in hell he's driving anything of mine.


we were walking the garbage bins to the dumpster (big orange bins)... He asked me "are you gay" I paused, then said no... He said "i think your a ******, because a real man woulda said so sooner"

he's also called me a ****** a few other times...

What should I do? I know he'll know I turned him in, and he'll problelly screw with my car if he gets fired because of his behavior... We've got a meeting on thursday, for the carry outs evauluation.

I'm not sure what to do here. It really pisses me off. I consider it physical and sexual harrasment... I havent written down any dates or times, but I will start to, and mabey build a case against him? Either to management or a civil suit for a cease and desist order (or even a restraining order)

What are my options? Can somebody help me?

I want this to be taken care of, without having managment say you're both fired... I dont care about him, but I really dont want him to screw with my car (I will have comp on it, though... thats not the point)

tks alot, I really appreciate it
~Nate

I certainly wouldn't do it if I were you, but if it were me at your age , I would have invited the guy out somewhere remote this weekend for some beers and female action then I would have shown up a little late and beat the **** out of him. The next week at work would be a little awkward, but he would have quit by Friday. Now, that was 20 years ago, and it might be different now, because instead of just having my brother hiding in the bushes as a witness, I would have him taking pictures with his cellphone

With all the crazy stuff going on now I probably wouldn't tell my kid to do this, but then it was warranted, and it worked.

One thing you could do if you want to tattle, is to get a digital dictaphone and record him calling you a ******.

Command more respect, and he'll leave you alone.

The path of least resistance would have you landing another job that paid as well or better, and not any farther away, and that you liked.

Who needs this kind of crap on the job?

I like the job, its just I dont like that one guy...

I want to do this without violating laws, or getting into a situation that gets me fired... Command more respect? How to deal with bullys? Yeah, except he seems to be more of an extream case of violence, and is a bit bigger then me... The bathrooms we were cleaning are right next to the managment office upstairs.


Least resistance would be great, except I LIKE the job...

Theres gotta be something better I can do.

Tks alot

lmao.

The only reason this guy is doing this to you is because you are letting him. Either make a stand or walk away. He'll keep taunting/abusing you for as long as he thinks he can get away with it.
