Coworker at it again

tell him "okay" calmly and walk away to anything he does. don't process him. he doesn't exist. the concept of this individual in your psyche belongs in an unoccupiable space because he's not even worth the conscious/subconscious energy to occupy your mind. you can not process him at all that's your choice.

Recommendations on how to stand up for myself?

I'm on the worst possible office team in terms of standing up for myself. For example my supervisor once told me near the start of employment that some people might give us shit but we just have to bear through it. WTF!? One time I stood up for myself (unironically the woman was talking about something else behind my back and not me) and I got a talking too for being unprofessional even though I was being harassed for a donation earlier on by that woman. I was told that if someone is bugging me to tell her and she will talk with their supervisor as she can't do anything about it. WTF that's unlikely to help! Ended up telling her I can stand up for myself and don't need her for that.

fucking pasta fuck you op

I wouldnt go above his head, this is something you have to deal with on your own.

Im a young foreman in commercial construction and these guys would walk all over me if I didn't accept that I am required to have awkward conversations and put my foot down.

If you do it once where you make it clear to him that you're not going to accept his behavior he'll back off.

Let us know how it works out because if he doesn't back off you have to start messing with him until he quits.

dude there is 0 chance that he actually fights you. people like him are fake tough guys. if he's at the bottom of the totem pole after working for 10 years, fighting a coworker is the worst possible thing he can do. especially if he has a wife and kids to support. he's probably just frustrated with his life and looking for someone to dominate. just stop giving a fuck about him and treat him like the pussy he is without actually calling him a pussy

treat him like he's retarded, he'll escalate and end up fucking himself over

how do i filter this manlets rantings away jeez give me strength. why doesnt he waddle his midget ass into the broom cupboard and suck his thumb ffs

This. Call him a faggot.

Sounds good, as much as I'd like to get him fired it'd be difficult since it's government.
