Just like to know of anyones daily trials and what they may have done to prevent it?

Just wanna be left alone to get on with my work. Gawwwddd if I could set myself up with a Hammer combo. After you read their catalouge you start to think of how your credit card is going

One off creations

I dont give a stuff about little Jhonny and his dinner invite list.
That's why I now mention it ha he.

Cheers all.

Sorry?

speak to the manager,
if that don't fix it you only have 2 choices
start a war
or find another job

Speak to the apprentice "after work"

Lignum.....Can't hurt the boy. Not his fault. Immpresionable....you know what I mean.
A foot up the ???? always works I reckon. Just have to give my boss one too.

Anyone had recent or some kind of EXP...Well????????

And what 'word' would you suggest

Maybe the kid just don't know he is being offensive.
Or is the manager really the problem for inciting the kid

I told myself when I was still at school that I never wanted to be in a position where I was stuck in a job that I didn't enjoy. I've managed to stay true to that for most of my life, even during difficult circustances. Life is too short to spend almost a third of it not enjoying it. As far as I can see there's only two possible choices:
1. Leave
2. Fix the problem

2 might consist of talking to the apprentice, along ther lines of,"if you would like me to help you realise your potential as a tradesman then I expect certain behaviour" it might also consit of talking to the sales manager or even the general manager and explaining that the apprentice's behaviour and the sales manager's condoning of it is having an adverse affect on you and therefore, ultimately on the company bottom line.

It's not the apprentice who is the main prob but I'm offended that he learns that it's ok to be the monkey ( see and do).

I've had thinners squirted in my eye and been spat on , both most recently and often, by a boss ( part owner ) who I get on with reasonably well. I am the target of their ( 3 of them ) attention daily. Bloody sick of it. I've asked for nearly 3 yrs for it to stop.

Gee,..... where's my sense of humour?

Why should I leave? I will for a price. HELL..... I mean that too!

Sooooo......anyone had some crappy experiences at work? Ongoing?

I'm happy to be the target of some occaisional humour. Spread it around too! Not just me. Gawwwwwd.

Any good lawyers in Ubeaut? ha he.

Appreciate all comments thus far. Thanks

Cheers

you have let it go on too long, it won't stop.

Either get in touch with one of these groups, beat the crap out of them, or leave.

Either way you have lost the job.

Getting in touch with the authorities will probably get you some compensation as the bulling has been ongoing for 3 years.

Beating the crap out of them will prolly get you jailed, but will feel good.
If you are going down the bashing route, pick the biggest ugliest meanest looking one to do it to, and watch the others flee for their lives.

That's one bridge you really want to burn. Get another job or go on a holiday and get your sanity back.

I worked in a factory some years ago, I was there for a cupla years and used to ride a bicycle home at lunch time.

Anyway, one day one of the blokes I worked with decided it was fun to slowly run me off the road in his car.
I asked him to stop it but he thought it was funny.

This happened for a week, next week he starts doing it again, so I got off the bike and kicked the kcuf out of the 2 door panels on the passenger side.

And ya know what, he stopped doing it, cost him a packet to get the panels fixed too.

He threatened he was going to tell the cops so I said fine, Ill come with you.
He didnt, and he never did it again.

An old bit of "councelling" behind the shed should set him straight.
