Thanks for the support and advice. I don't think he hid the sweep out of spite, I don't even think he tried to "hide" it on purpose. I think he just put it where he wanted it instead of where it actually belonged. Why he put it in such a way I ended up getting covered in filth that time I have no idea, considering that would work against him or anyone trying to retrieve the sweep.
Luckily I only get to deal with this guy once a day, if at all, which is why I labeled it as a "small" problem. If I want to do anything other then bagging or checking (like work with the cool produce guys) I will have to deal with him much more though.
He sounds like an A$$hole and a bully. I'm not sure, but I've heard that standing up to a bully will make him back down and grow some respect. Write everything down and date it, just in case he ends up getting you fired.
If he gives you a dirty look, give him one right back. If he says "that's MY desk" in a raised voice, say "I didn't know it was YOUR desk, so WHERE shall I put it?"
Keep giving him back the crap he's dishing out. If that doesn't work, then go to the management to have a chat with him. If he's unhappy with working with you or with your work, he might try to report you. Beat him to it.
Best advice on here. Usually with people like this they're testing you to see how far they can go, give it right back to them and they usually back down.
I wouldn't take crap from him either. If he has an attitude problem, then dish it back at him. Sooner or later he'll see how it feels to be insulted the same way.
So there are now two bullies at work? The Front End guy (post deleted I see) and now this guy??
The stockroom guy doesn't bully me by my way of thinking. He doesn't interact with me if he doesn't have to.
The other one that I mentioned in my thread "stitch in time" only talks at me when he is in the company of others, otherwise he ignores me, even if i smile at him or say "hey". He is one of those narcissists who never left highschool. He is pleased with himself when he instigates others into laughing at me and he goes out of his way to sneer at me. Basically he acts like a generic female bully out of a movie. He disgusts me.
Almost all problems resolved themselves following CD advice (not taking things so damn seriously) and mainly Self-Improvement (being less awkward and more friendly, having some humor). Mr. Slick and I became friendly with one another because I responded to his nastiness with humor instead of more nastiness, but his true colors became evident to mgmt and he eventually crashed and burned. My supervisor got complained about to death apparently, and is now well behaved, also I learned to work with her, more like "around" her. I'm back to being her favorite employee, now that Mr. Slick is gone. I'm getting better money, because i'm super reliable and get more hours than most, plus extra due to always covering others shifts. Learning to work around another troublesome (lazyyyy and annoying) supervisor at the moment. Oddly, i've learned that saying 'No' will get you more respect than saying 'Yes' all the time. I'm treated more respectfully now than ever.
Only issues are not enough money to live adequately on regardless, and frequent health issues.
