Instead we sue because they yell at us!

That's a much better alternative than just doing your job right.

That's a bunch of cow manure. Some guy threatens me and I have 2 solutions: Shut up and take it or fight the guy "like a man." What if the guy is twice my size and a bad ass mother****er and I was raised to use my head and not my fists? He should dictate the situation?

Furthermore, there's a big difference between criticism and verbal abuse. I know not of your education, but you sure are talking like you don't have much here.

Stating that being chewed out and not taking it personally = acting like a tough guy now?

If a man who has been at his craft for 30+ years is teaching you his ways and yells at you for ****ing up, im not gonna go cry in a corner. Im going to listen and do my best to do better next time, then we're back to being friends again.

That has nothing to do with being a tough guy and everything to do with not acting like a bitch about it.

If the guy can't teach you without yelling at you he is an asshole. I've been doing my job for 28 years and when I teach someone I don't yell at them for doing it wrong.

We're not talking about the same thing. My statement wasn't about the OP or being physically threatened.

First thing you need to do is find another job, broseph.

Yes. I am passive. Also this guy is twice my size and appears to have anger issues. I'm not sure why you feel like I am leaving out part of the story- I assure you I am not. I'm considering posting the e-mail I sent to my supervisor after the incident to show you EXACTLY what I am talking about, but not sure if I should for legal reasons if I do decide to seek legal action.

Already applying places. I have enough saved up I don't need to panic right away though.

Here's another look from more recent times:

http://lawdigitalcommons.bc.edu/cgi/...20pervasive%22

Things have evolved since then, but you should be able to get the point.

Here is the current definitionfrom the Department of labor website.

http://www.dol.gov/oasam/programs/cr...harassment.htm

Hostile Work Environment Harassment

A hostile environment can result from the unwelcome conduct of supervisors, co-workers, customers, contractors, or anyone else with whom the victim interacts on the job, and the unwelcome conduct renders the workplace atmosphere intimidating, hostile, or offensive.

Examples of behaviors that may contribute to an unlawful hostile environment include:

discussing sexual activities;
telling off-color jokes concerning race, sex, disability, or other protected bases;
unnecessary touching;
commenting on physical attributes;
displaying sexually suggestive or racially insensitive pictures;
using demeaning or inappropriate terms or epithets;
using indecent gestures;
using crude language;
sabotaging the victim's work;
engaging in hostile physical conduct.

Then I apologize because that's what I took it as.

Be patient getting a new job can take a couple days. I would def try lifeline foods or triumph foods. Seem to be better working conditions there.

Good now you can take that tampon out your snatch. Im positive soon as you left the room they looked at each other and started bustin up laughing. Youll be the subject of jokes for years to come. Were you raised by a single mother or a gay couple? Only things I can think of for the way you responded to a guy at work talkin shit. Things happen and people disagree. It's not time to tuck your tail and cry to any1 who will listen.

Plus we all know we're not getting the full story. No matter who you are, including myself, you're always going to tell the story so that you look like the good guy. You are probably worthless, lazy, whiney, or a douche.. or all of em put together. No way you didn't say or do soemthin to warrant that treatment.

ROFL

Furthermore: Why would I not tell the whole story? If somebody is bullied at work you think there always has to be an underlying reason and they just deserved it?

I know what the Department of Labor claims. I had talked about the triggers. You're welcome to try suing a company for one incident where a fellow employee used bad language. Good luck with that.

Demonpenz 08-09-2012 03:45 PM

I remember when I was working at Blockbuster I would take lots of piss breaks because I would get tired of ringing up customers. I would just hang out back listening to Pat Tabler hit homeruns for the Royals.

Sorry to hear that... I think you'll look back someday and regret letting the situation do that to you but you do what you gotta do.

Best of luck in your search.

NOTHING warrants that treatment.
