I have got to tell you, the internet now has 2nd to one on bullies next to the workplace.
Get this; I'm working my ass off last sunday, trying to keep everything in shape and put away. I step away for a second(Call of nature and thirst afterwards!) and come back only to hear from one of the other guys I work with that a supervisor from another dept has come in, dissatisfied over my lack of keeping our section intact and kept together and is practically ordering ME to get it together disrespectful like.
Afterwards I'm outraged and mentally flipping out, thinking, :wtf:
Who is this jagoff that he comes over and starts bossing me around when he doesn't belong in my section?!
My guys and I are still talking about it, and I just freak, yelling, "I don't give two shits what he likes and don't likes!!!" or, " Until that chrome domed cretin is listed as our supervisor, in our dept, he can get fucked!!" Then I hear from one of the guys that he's writing me up for the dept in disarray, I really go apeshit, pull my dept head aside into an empty office and lay everything out.
Well, he tells me dept heads in retail are what the mafia refers to as sotto capis, that is to say to a lesser degree, they are almost managers but not really. we discuss the problem, and conclude that both of us find this idiot's ravings is horseshit. I also mention that if he even writes me up, I'd file a complaint with regional HR.
Well, later on, the actual assistant manager & I discuss it again, and find that this guy's got a problem of not handling things respectfully, telling people to get over here NOW. and overstepping his bounds. I tell her that I felt his actions were bullying and unnecessary, threatening write ups.
Since I cannot technically confront him on the sales floor, she chose to talk to him. What I would've wanted to tell the miserable sumbitch to his face might've precipitated a full scale blow up, and possibly got one of us hurt.
I dunno, what would anybody else's reaction been to a workplace bully like this?
