For the last few weeks my co-worker has been a total D*** head towards me..The funny thing about this is that I am the only one he treats funny..He snaps or just acts like a total ***.Okay right now he is laughing and joking around with everyone else in the room. I asked him a question early he freakin snapped. I had just finished working for a company where there was, lets just say that it wasn;t pretty the outcome. Should I talk to my boss or what shoul d I do just leave it alone and treat him the same way or what. Please help me I don't want to get all mean..

Answer 1

Hell with him.... walk past his desk whenever you have to fart......Good Luck to you

Answer 2

First of all, if you have had this problem with a prior co-worker, maybe you should examine your behavior towards this co-worker. It sounds as if HE thinks you have offended him in some manner. Have you discussed him and his behavior with other co-workers and perhaps some gossip has gotten back to him? This in no way gives him the right to be rude and obnoxious to you. I would try taking him aside and calmly asking him if you have offended him in some manner. Maybe there is a mis-understanding that needs to be cleared up. If the two of you can't solve the problem, I would suggest that you speak to your boss and see if he/she has any suggestions as to how to alleviate the problem. Speaking from experience, the boss usually knows what is going on between his employees. If you really enjoy working there, try hard to work it out as these type situations can cause a lot of undue stress.

Answer 3

Ignore him and don't tell your boss this. It's likely to backfire on you and make you look bad, especially since your a girl and he's a boy. Stereotypes that women bring their emotions into the office is something that men still hold against women employees, unfortunately. Try not to bring emotions into the office or into this situation. Separate your feelings from your duties as an employee if you can. Don't talk to this guy, pretend like he isn't even there, don't ask him anything. If that doesn't work and you feel he's trying to get others in on this, pull him to the side and ask him privately what his deal is. You can do this in a non-confrontational way: Maybe something like "I'm getting the feeling that your upset with me and I don't understand whats going on. Have I done something to offend you or do you just not like me?" Use "I" statements, not "you" statements. Remain professional and mature no matter what he says and most of all, don't give him your power!!

Answer 4

Maybe it's not about you. He could be emotionally unstable, or you could remind him of someone from his childhood. Who knows.

Maybe it is you. If this tends to happen a lot, in different places with different people, you might look at your own behavior to see if anything can be done better.

Don't listen to any of these people telling you to treat him the same way he treats you. That flies in high school but not at a job you need to support you financially. If you want to continue in a specific environment with as little stress as possible, you have to act like a grown-up, even when others don't.

Many companies have policies about this sort of thing (ie: don't confront co-workers about anything, etc). Speak to your supervisor, without revealing any details, to determine how to proceed, if you wish to do so.

Answer 5

Until you know what the problem is, you won't know how to fix it. Ask your supervisor if you can have 15 minutes in your conference room (or other suitable place) to see if you can sort this out with him. During the meeting, you need to be clear, calm, and firm. Being liked isn't the issue; it's already clear he doesn't like you for some reason. Make your case, listen to his, resolve to move forward. Document the meeting and points discussed. If it happens again, then you get the boss involved.

Answer 6

You should pull your co-worker aside & ask him if there is some issue. Tell him you notice him being friendly with other people & jumping down your throat everytime you have a question. You also need to tell him (in a nice way) that you don't appriciate him snapping at you. If this doesn't work then take it to your manager & tell him you tried to resolve the issue yourself. Good luck.

Answer 7

once you've paid spoil day you should use it as you please. Your boss knows, is time-honored with the mission and has no situation with it. that's between you and your boss. Your co-worker has no longer some thing to do with it and that's non of her corporation. in case you does no longer elect to communicate with you on a personal aspect, that's her determination, yet there is not any way this may intervene with artwork suitable verbal substitute. sounds like she is being infantile and there is not any longer some thing you may want to do about it.

Answer 8

Don't let HIS actions get you down!

I found at my last job I didn't fit in enough like everyone else because I don't kiss *** and I wont kiss anyones ***. Maybe the other people suck up to him more than you and he needs the attention!

Good luck! I hope you have a better day!

Answer 9

Ummm well i would just confront the J*rk. Tell him hey look, Maybe you don't like me, or just don't know me, whatever the problem is, Im really sick of your attitude! Its a waste of your time and mine. So act like an adult and get over it or kiss my A**. then if he keeps actin like a jerk i would say something to my boss... good luck

Answer 10

It may be that you have asked a lot of questions of him and he feels threatened by it. It may also be that he likes you and doesn't want to let anyone at work know it. It may be that he just doesn't like you for his own personal reason's, ie: you look like an ex-girlfriend, you act like an ex-girlfriend, etc.

Answer 11

He's probably just jealous. Continue to treat him the same as you do everyone else and when he realizes he can't "get" to you he will leave you alone. Just continue to do your job and you'll be ok.
