how do you guys deal with those? there is this one guy who always talk to people like an *******. but have yet done so to me until today. i have worked there for about 6 months. today in a meeting with about 20 people, he went on for about 5 minutes did nothing but talk **** about me and my work. previously i have received praise from everyone including him. also got a raise 5 months into the job for my good work. i did not said much at the meeting thinking i was going to freaking rip his face off. after the meeting, my co-workers try to comfort me and said he cross the line. but doesn't matter, i am still extremely angry. the problem i have is, regardless what you think about my work, if you have problem, talk to me. he basically did this out of nowhere. 4 options. 1) rip his face off 2) look for a new job 3) let it go 4) talk to boss about the issue i am leaning to 2) because i am extremely angry and if i stay longer, who knows what i might do.
So what happens if you find a new job and have a similar co-worker? Are you going to continue to quit rather than confront the situation by first meeting with your manager?
might as well talk to your manager...besides if he continues to act that way he'll be gone before you know it
i have worked in a few places, have yet to encountered anyone as rude as he is. there are rude people, but at work place, you just can't act that way. i doubt i will ever meet another person like him. i will be in touch with the manager this week. we'll see what happens.
You can't let rudeness stop you from getting money. Dude can DDT me through the work desk as long as that paycheck is coming in on Friday. If you want to rip his face apart invite him to a club and then whoop his ass!
Well I guess it just depends on the situation you're in. My situation is not I haven't been able to find a job all summer. So I'll be damned if I quit a job because another man bad mouthed me in a meeting. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.
If it is at all possible laugh at how rude he is when you've given him no reason to be. People who act irrationally are usually good for a laugh. It won't bother you so much that way. If your temperament is such that you can't do that, then I guess just ignore it.
usually, minor stuff i just let go. but sometimes people just go too far. it's just not right when your co-worker come to talk you later about how rude he was in the meeting. i will try to laugh it of since it's work. but i will talk to the manager tomorrow or something.
I don't get it- why didn't you stand up in the meeting and say something like, "Excuse me, regardless of what you think of my work- which is completely wrong, BTW, it is in extremely poor taste for you to spout off about it in front of this many people. This is the type of thing that should be discussed in private, which I would be glad to do with you after the meeting." If he continued to do so, walk out. You have every right not to sit there and let someone continue to badmouth when you've already told him to stop. Even if it's a manager, they really don't have the right to embarrass you like that in front of a group.
