The General Manager of where I work has a son who also works there. His son is a total jerk to me. He says and does mean things to me, and when I ask him to stop, he cops an attitude and says things like "why, do you really think I could get fired from this place?" It's as if he has a licsense to do whatever he wants, and to make matters worse his dad just looks the other way. Outside of this situation I really like my job, but how do I deal with this jerk?

You have a #1 harassment law suit. Bring that up, I'm sure he will stop. If he fires you for saying that you have a better suit. If I was you I'll put a stop to that.

Man! that is a sticky situation. I would still talk to your boss and quote some of the things his son says. Your boss didnt get this far with an attitude like his sons... He looks the other way because he knows how his son is already, but if he is smart, he will do something about it before it becomes a real problem. I would stay nuetral and confront your boss about it. Ask him what you should do to help you two get along at work.. I know it sounds pitiful, but if your boss values you as an employee, then he will try and help. If not, then you didnt need that job anyway.. Employees are the back bone of the company and should be appreciated. If your boss doesnt see that, then he is a real jerk too!

If you do decide to confront the father about his son's actions, back it up with facts. Keep a log of every incident, exactly what's said and most important, who was a witness. Walking in and saying "Your son's being a jerk" isn't going to get much reaction. But if you go in and say "On April 18, your son sexually harassed me by saying "___", Keith and Jenny were both witnesses" you'll be much more likely to get action.

Ask to set up a meeting with your boss.
Schedual an appointment and talk to him...
First I am a son of a guy who runs a family business that I work for....
I try to be very nice to the employees, and they seem to like me...
So i dont ever have a problem
I know if an employee ever had a serious discussion with my dad about me harrassing them (which is clearly what he is doing) my dad would be SO PISSED. I probably would get fired...
You need to talk to the GM, the one guy that can do something about his son (and probably will) ...
tell him that his son is making it hard for you to do your work.
Let us know how it turns out! Good Luck
