Have you ever had an obnoxious co-worker?

Question

I work at a software company and a dept. that is very small and there is alot of women. Only 2 men are in our small office. The new guy of the 2 is very obnoxious. He talks about his sex life, how he cheats on his girlfriend and how stupid she is. He talks about how he would rather date white women then black women. He tries to show us porn sites. We can hear his personal phone conversations in the office because he is so loud. He previously was at another dept. but he was moved. Some of the women that had worked with him said he was a sexist jerk. He also goes around spreading rumors about people at the company.

Answer 1

Wow, when the title of the question stated "obnoxious co-worker" I thought you were going to say he talks too much or has an annoying laugh, but this guys behavior is horrendous.

This guy's behavior isn't just obnoxious, his behavior is unethical, unprofessional and harrassing. The dark and disgusting details of his personal life are not any of your business and you shouldn't be forced to hear about them. As a women I would be extremely offended if someone openly expressed their horrid treatment of their girlfriend on a regular basis in my work place. You shouldn't have to look at his porn either, that's ridiculous

I'm willing to bet this behavior is why he has been transferred to your department. Frankly, if this is the same way he behaved in the last department, it is outrageous that he was even allowed to keep his job!!

I wouldn't hesitate to complain to your superiors, he should be fired

Answer 2

Since when is pulling up porn at work acceptable? Next time this guy makes a comment about his disgusting life, respond back in a professional yet firm manner that you nor anyone else in the office wants to hear about his personal life. Then turn to your manager/boss and let them know what's going on. He definitely should not continue to work there if he is pulling up porn sites. Good luck!

Answer 3

report the bozo, to your bosses.

Answer 4

And he still has his job because......?
