Is it time to oust out the office bullies?

Question

Hi! An old boy who has helped me since I started in this firm is probably the best Surveyor in our office. due to retire in a few years he has encouraged me and got me out of a lot of scrapes. He is the most effecient and respected staff member in the company and always first with the client. A new manager about 35 years old started last year the same time I got promoted. The old boy has said little to me but from other staff I hear the manager is on his back, bawling him out infront of the whole office almost making him stand to attention pulling him up when the knot from his tie drops, and worst of all banging and kicking his desk while he is sitting at it. We are a non union office and I or any of the other older staff can think of anything to do about it. I'm no longer in that office. Any body out there been in this position and how did you tackle it. I'v thought about takling the B?????d. You know take the manager to one side but I.m not his boss what do I do if he tells me to FO

Answer 1

If you're no longer in that office, does it really matter if he tells you to FO? I would try to reason with him and see what he says. Maybe you could go to the ******'s boss and try to stir things up. That is definitely not the way an adult should act. His abuse of power (not to mention his condemnable lack of respect for his elders) should not be tolerated. I bet that it's not good for business and am sure that it's not good for office morale. Good luck!

Answer 2

This is what I did in a similar situation I video tape the boss doing these things and then I made copies. I first went to the boss that was my bosses' boss and gave him a copy. I also told him that if something is not done that I would release it to the local papers and TV news stations. Needless to say he was fired and the guy he was harassing was promoted and I was treated with kid gloves because they knew that I would not tolerate meanness at work...........

Answer 3

I think that the other guy should wait for him after work and kick his a$$. I have never heard of such behavior from a boss and he has lived to tell about it. I am not advocating violence but that guy needs to be taken behind a wood shed and really shown who is the boss.

Answer 4

I in all probability could, thinking Bush is thoroughly incompetent. he's no longer evil... in simple terms incompetent. He did no longer pass in with just about sufficient troops... and he decrease our forces right down to little better than a "skeleton team" after taking BagTheDad. specific, i understand the ramifications of sending in just about 0.5 a million troops. it could have been referred to as an "occupation tension". after all he ought to renounce... yet to permit Pulosi to become her highness, the President is thoroughly unthinkable! along with her appeasement techniques (The Neville Chamberlain mentality), our us of a could be overrun with terrorists in below 2 years and mushroom clouds could look presently thereafter over a number of American cities.

Answer 5
