Thread: Verbal abuse

I'm getting a load of verbal abuse at work from some chump. I reported it to HR but they seem to be sweeping it under the carpet even though someone got the GMB union involved.
If I don't see disciplinary action taken against them I'm going to take things into my own hands (out of work boundaries.) What would be wise? Would you want your revenge or just leave it & be a walk over saving striking for self defence only? The first class ar$e hole been a chunt to a few other people I feel he's getting away with far too much.

I'd make sure I don't let things get physical, because not onyl could that cost your job, it could lead to you getting a criminal charge .. THAT'S JUST STUPID

BEST BET IS .. CARRY A COVERT VOICE RECORDER, AND THEN MAKE COPIES OF THE RECORDING, AND GIVE IT TO YOU HR, AND YOUR BOSSES

IF I WAS YOU .. I MIGHT ACTUALLY CONSIDER GETTING HIM SO PISSED OFF BEFORE YOU RECORD, SO THAT WHEN YOU RECORD, HE ACTUALLY THREATENS YOUR SAFETY, AND MAKE AN UNBELIEVABLE REMARK

Sneaky jeevan, but would be very effective. Its a tough one, but if you played the numbers game, and had more ppl report the abuse, the larger volume of logged complaints shouldnt be ignored.

I'm trying to push it, many people have no back bone to report stuff though. Most like easy quiet life & are socially inept towards 'office' staff though maybe not on the shop floor.

Take the moral high ground.

Try to avoid sneaky tricks because whilst that might help you nail this particular fool how many of your remaining workmates are going to feel comfortable speaking their mind or speaking to you at all if they know youve recorded conversations in the past?

The best advice I can give is to get yourself a copy of the codes of practice for your employer. They should have something written down in black and white dictating what type of behaviour is and isnt acceptible and what action will be taken against those who flout the regulations. Go to your supervisor and quote policy to them if needs be and remind them of their obligations and failing that go see your union because thats what theyre there for.

Dont try winding someone up until they say something stupid or do something stupid - youre trying to get this person sorted out for how they behave, not the way you have bent over backwards to try and make them behave.

Keep it out of the gutter or you run the risk of painting yourself as the villain, convincing your workmates you cant be trusted and building yourself a rep as a shit stirrer.

Watch this, it will give you my advice in a bit more depth

you're suggesting he waits for the guys to be sat at on end of the office then ru and perform a flying knee strike on him?!

harsh yet effective i would guess.

My mate went through something like this before.

He is basically a geek but one of the nicest lads you could meet but he got taken advantage of and made a cunt out of then picked on all the time at work.

He worked in a call centre and had been there years but just got tormented all the time until he broke down one day.

Been my mate he hadnt told me what was going on but when i found out I wanted to kill them but I got a hold of the 2 lads 1 night in town (i dont drink but knew they would be out) I gave them both a slap and got them told. That was 4 month ago and he has had NO issues at all they are as nice as pie to him now.
They are lucky they only got a cheeky punch tbh.

They say violence doesn't solve anything but in a bullying situation it does imo.
Rising above it most likely wont work mate.
You've got to sort it properly to make sure they know not to do it again.

1 thing I cannot stand is bullying drives me mental.

Flying knee would sort him.

agreed when i was being bullied at skool i would always tell a teach or sumthing never worked though then i turned to my best friend righty hed mad all the bad people go away. violence is natures conflict solver

Im actually shocked all you violent fookers agree with me! :tuf



Make sure you youtube it!
