Legal help wanted

a reply to: Brywilson2

Can you elaborate on what they are doing?

Is it possible for you to just ignore them?

Food service usually has quick turn around. Why not see if you can just wait them out?

Or if it is unbearable you can try to document the situation.
Your supervisors see you as valuable. Get one on your side with concrete examples of the offending behavior and then take it upstairs.

You don't have to put up with BS in the workplace anymore.

employment.findlaw.com...

Sounds like you are not well-liked. Why is that?

P.S. Don't ask for legal advice on the Internet.

A) if they are not your boss, screw them.. unless they mess with your money/section/whatever, what does it matter what they say or think .. your not screwing them..

I try to only care what people I am screwing think/say about me. Lol


B) if it is an authority position.. here is what you do..

If they tell you to do something work related, no matter how snarky they say it.. do it.. it is the job and if it escalates you will look like the one at fault..


But a crap manager won’t be able to help themselves and will do it over something that isn’t work related or they are totally wrong..

That is when you spin on them and escalate things.. make sure that if you end up in the bosses office.. they are in the wrong totally..


Most crap bosses who aren’t stupid will ship up and act right after you spin on them..

They will know you got them and leave you alone.

High stress, workplace harassment... If your taking any prescriptions you may be a perfect candidate to...


Your phone has Audoi recording capabilities if it is t five years old. Just leave it recording throughout your shift. And tell them to piss off.

Problem number one I see a few solutions.

1. Man the F up and give as good as you get.

2. Have your manager mediate a meeting between the two of you, where you can talk about your grievances. Might be that you have said something to this guy that he has taken the wrong way.

3. if your company has one break out the bullying and harassment policy.

as for the other problem thats a bit more difficult just keep away from her, speak to your manager about your concern, don't be alone with her, keep a clear record of it and take it from there.

Also as others have said, you're not going to get legal advice over the internet. I think recording them is frankly stupid, there could be legal ramifications for you doing that, it might not be seen as being proof of anything and you might even inadvertently get your self into bother over something you are recorded as having said. It's also an extreme measure to take against your colleagues and when the rest of them know what you've done then it won't go down well.

You say a new job isn't an option or what you want but it does sound like you're just not that well liked sometimes when you are having these kind of difficulties in the work place you need to take a good long hard and honest look at yourself in the mirror and say "Am I being the dick?". That guy might be cursing you because you're a total prick to work with, just like that girl, she might honestly feel intimidated by you, she might really feel like she is being sexually harassed by you because of your behaviour. So its also important to be honest with yourself and then make changes accordingly, that might even include a new job. It might just be that you don't fit in that team anymore and its time for you to move on, particularly if you are getting no support from your managers.

Get a voice recorder. Whenever any of these people bother you. Record them.

Play it for your manager, his manager whatever. If they won't take care of the problem. Then there's no hope in anything ever changing. Might be a good time to ready your resume.

You just gave him advice that will get him sued or jailed if he works in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania or Washington. These states make it unlawful to intercept or record a conversation without all parties' consent. And giving legal advise without a law license is illegal in all states.
