No he isn't.

Far from it.

The man has done a lot for me and my family and his other employees. He's loaned employees money, cars, and he even spent over $800.00 on me to get me my first tool set. He doesn't even fire people, instead he finds other places for them to work if they can't cut it here.

If he gets stressed out and yells at someone because they just cost the company hundreds to thousands of dollars, sorry, but im not going to take that personally, but instead understand that this is a high stress, fast paced work environment. Being under the gun to build a perfect car that exceeds the cost of most people's homes will do that to people, so why take that shit personally?

You know, you have no idea what our situation here is and what our workplace is like. This isn't some ****ing suit and tie office building. He can yell at someone one minute and then go out to lunch and have a beer the next.

I have nothing but respect for my boss, even though sometimes we can piss each other off.

The guy threatened violence. One time is enough.

Like I said, good luck with that.

I would recommend against posting that e-mail. Regardless of how interesting that sounds. No good could come of that.

I guess I just don't understand why nobody in the entire situation you explained had the least bit of respect for you throughout any of the story. I think that might be what is so puzzling.

Anyway, good luck. Hope things get better for you.

I don't know of one incident of cursing could create a pattern of hostile work environment, however, I do know that once he threatened violence it automatically created a hostile work environment.

He isn't worth the time. His post just made me laugh.

:facepalm:


You did the right thing. Never lower yourself to the loser's level. He has problems and you don't, and when you fight someone like that you accept his problems upon yourself.

Just walk away knowing that he is always going to live with himself being a piece of shit that fails at everything.

I'm all for men settling problems with fisticuffs if they so chose to do it that way, but I definitely think that kind of mindset doesn't belong among coworkers.

I did have the respect of some of my co-workers- they said that it was completely uncalled for. Nobody wants to stand up to this guy though-

I'm sure I will have good luck with it.

Wise words.

I will tell you this, if I have an employee threaten to kick another employees ass, they (person doing the threatening) are fired on the spot if gets reported and can be proven by witnesses etc...

Dude reports he was threatened by another employee, then the company does nothing.

Other employee one day actually kicks other employees ass = Company Sued out the Ass for huge $$$.

It doesn't matter if You think its wrong or right, the sue happy society we live in creates some crazy liabilities.

In some states not only could the company be sued in this case but the supervisor who did nothing could be personally sued and held accountable.

I think you way understatement what companies are liable for under harassment free workplace laws.

Again, good luck with that theory.

heh. Then he shoulda stayed, got his ass kicked and then sued.

Did you try grabbing a broom, lifting it up over your head and screaming, "by the power of greyskull, I HAVE THE POWER!"

That would have probably shut him up.
