Bullied at work !!!

Post by islfor »

I'm being constantly bullied by a work colleague he has previously threatened to beat me up after punching his frame just to show someone what he would like to do to my face, while I was innocently passing. When I'm prepping my frame (after DOM tells me too) he walks passes & has a dig & shrugs his head & shouts that I get £30 extra per week to go on my frame early (I'm office coach).
When I handed everyone in our office union correspondence he scrunched it up & threw it in the bin & mouthed off obscenities.(I'm Union Rep).
He says things outside work about my family. Any advice ??

Assuming that you've already asked him to stop. Your next step, is to complain about him to your Manager. You shouldn't have to put up with that! This is what the B&H procedures are for.

Good luck. I hope it gets stopped soon.

I think there is a 'bullying helpline,' maybe give them a call. If you have a Courier handy, might have the number in there.

Or you could follow him one night down a dark street with a baseball bat :hmmmm

:sad: Difficult one this.If you really do not feel up to challenging him directly---(and it usually is the best way-but quietly and without an audience, which is what these idiots want) then just dob him in! As you are a rep, I expect you would encourage others to do just that,and the sooner the better, before things get out of control. Have no conscience about doing this.
If he is going outside the worrplace, and making untrue allegations about your family, which may make them feel intimidated, then this is even more serious. good Luck, and do not let the bullies win!

He certainly appears to have all the hall marks of a classic bully. Just someone looking for attention, if he was on here he would probably be mistaken for a troll.

I know why he's doing it because as union rep im a threat to his excessive O/T, especially when he comes in on A/L for overtime.
Also he is known to have secret deals by managers & is always in on his day off & is in every night on S/A. MONEY IS GOD for some people. When I have weekly resource meetings he is down as day off ???

Verbal abuse and threatening behaviour are criminal offences.
If your DOM won't sort it out, let the police.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Did someone mention a baseball bat? That would get my vote :dance He will remain a bully while people let him strutt around.... sorry to say it but broken limbs may be the only option! Or you could gather all your co-workers around him and tell him to stop or you'll all come down on him like a ton of bricks?

What about the rest of the office,what are they saying about this.

I could not imagine this going on at my place.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Simple. Take a note of everything he says. Time date and exactly what he said. Keep it for a week and then put in an official complaint. He'll get sacked without a doubt. Another option is call his mother a whore very quietly so only he can hear you and he will hit you. He'll get sacked, convicted of assualt and you'll get a very fat compensation claim! :D ( Deny you said anything to him btw) :Very Happy
