swearing at a manager

[clashcityrocker]

you're a rep and you are asking us what to do, i wouldnt like to come to you with a problem

He might not have been a rep for very long. He might never have come up against this type of problem before. Reps don't know the answer to everything all of the time.
It never hurts to ask for advice or guidance when you need it.

everyone knows if you swear at a manager he can be a real prick and take it further a rep should know better

But maybe not an inexperienced rep.

I don't think there is a rep in the country who hasn't "lost it" with a manager at some point.

Had exactly the same thing happen to me years ago that was taken all the way, or as far as the facts allowed them.... A little different as he swore first then physically assaulted me in front of the unit but I still got a two years suspended dismissal despite having stated openly all the way through that he was a t**t and I'll say it again, worth every min' of it :P

You can, and it wont hurt at all, establish that it is his and your common language for the unit you work in by witness statements stating where when and what words were used if indeed it is common language! If it is not then just admit it and stand by it for gods sake. If he pushed you to it claim it to be a statement of fact rather than abuse based on his treatment of you being non professional and non procedure.

Good luck :)
