So hungover this morning I accidently wore two different shoes (1 Viewer)

[RokNRole]

Please explain.

As soon as he got angry he began speaking a dialect most often associated with impoverished neighborhoods.

 

[RokNRole]

He's right. It's not always about who is right and wrong. Perception is often reality. You need to handle this with diplomacy and strive to find a way to co-exist. Whether or not you can kick his ### or he carries a firearm shouldn't be part of the equation. 

I'm sure several other employees would like to see the guy fired as well. He's not a team player and causes problems when we try to work with him. He bosses people around and his famous line is "it's not your money it's our money". He parrots this over and over while screwing up left and right.

You're totally right. Most of us speak super professionally and eloquently when we are angry and emotionally charged.  The guy must be a complete loser.  Thank god you have him by 40 pounds and are built like a well conditioned football player.

Do most of you look to pick a fight with a coworker within earshot of your customers?

but you said you are working at a "classy joint"????

 

[RokNRole]

but you said you are working at a "classy joint"????

I am which is why there is no place for this kind of behavior. He is capable of using other dialects when interviewing for a job or interacting with customers

 

[skol asylum]

Is this the guy? I think you can take him.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

You don't need to be a redneck to have a gun. The guy is ghetto.

I was just pointing out that it is a ghetto thing then, and not a Texas thing.  As I wrote, best to stick with one idiom.

It could be any other state with liberal gun laws.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

He was ready to start a fist fight at work in the dining room of afine restaurant because he perceived to have been "disrespected" . He repeated several time " we can go any time you want dog"! I think you can figure it out.

Do most new employees find it to be their role to participate in dissension in the workplace weeks after getting hired?   If the guy was soo bad--other employees that are there probably have quietly complained to management about him.  If he was yelling in front of customers--I'm sure it was documented and noticed by other employees.   Know your role and stay in your lane. You are the lowest person on the totem pole at that job. Be grateful for the paycheck--so document the incident--quietly speak to a manager if it was that bad--and move on and mind your business.  We all have junk that happens in our lives and in our workplaces--we don't all have to treat them in a manner that somehow makes us the center of attention.  You acting like a peacock-and acting like you are some protector of morality and professional business practices is beyond laughable. Worry about yourself.  You are a 30 plus year old dude that is admittedly possibly an alcoholic, is not in a great financial situation, and is galavanting around having unprotected sex--and you think that ruffling feathers at the one good thing that you have going for you (your new job) is a good idea?  Sometimes it's okay to stay quiet and not draw attention to yourself--I know that's something that is not in your DNA.

I have noticed you like to argue from positions of weakness rather than to take what you can from comments and leave the rest. Now we have you going back to include State aspects.  Ghettto absolutely does not concern itself with State gun laws.  You are contradicting yourself.

I suggest you refer back to the story I related about the bird falling from the bough.

It's obvious you've lost the plot.

He's ghetto so I'll assume he has a gun.

There you go, a nice neat, easy to understand premise succinctly conveyed. 

 

[jvdesigns2002]

It's obvious you've lost the plot.

Have a nice day and enjoy being enabled by the enablers. It's obvious that you have no clue when people give you advice that's actually helpful.  Enjoy your existence of being a constant victim of circumstance and braising ground beef.  It's obviously done wonders for your build.

 

[RokNRole]

I'm going to use this line with him. Should really piss him off.

 

[TLEF316]

Yeah I think we all know how this episode is gonna end

 

[Conanthecontrarian]

you were surrounded by idiots at your staffing job, they ganged up on you and got you fired at the dispatchers job. Im sure this is 100% on the other guy.

 

[Conanthecontrarian]

Rok and the ghetto guy become best pals, open their own restaurant  and solve crimes together?

i forget this story was it a black bird?

 

[Conanthecontrarian]

only thing you can do here is shiv the other guy in the kitchen. make sure that it isnt just the white supremacists that see it go down. the latinos need to see it too, so they know who the top dawg is up in dis place.

 

[KCitons]

Rok and the ghetto guy become best pals, open their own restaurant a bed and breakfast, and solve crimes together?

fixed

 

[Nugget]

Rok- do you still have the suit?  May be time to get it pressed. 

 

[jon_mx]

Have you thought about committing a 2nd degree felony and living on the government teet for the next 2 - 20 years?

That is a no go.  Pot and beer are a bit difficult to obtain in prison.

have you seen Orange Is The New Black? he just has to do some dirty work for someone that is connected or...provide sexual favors to him. 

 

[jamny]

You basically yada yada'd the good stuff. What was he saying to bust your balls and what lead up to it?

 

[jon_mx]

obviously he did nothing wrong.  The guy just randomly goes off.

Constantly trying to correct things with a poor attitude. Jumping into other people's sections and then trying to conduct everything. Usually getting things wrong and trying to send other people to do things he doesnt want to do. Never making these requests politely.

That does not explain why he jumped you.  You had to say something back to trigger that, even if it was just something like 'mind your own section' or perhaps a '####'.

maybe the guy is just a #####? 

let it go. keep your head down and do your job. at some point either you, or he, will move on to something else.

Are you suggesting to put the goal of getting out of poverty above this squabble? If so, that sentiment seems misplaced.

 

[MikeIke]

Jesus, am I supposed to believe RokNRole is in his mid 30's? He's acting like he's 16 on his first job. 

 

[honky kong]

Jesus, am I supposed to believe RokNRole is in his mid 30's? He's acting like he's 16 on his first job. 

He did say a ways back that he hasn't matured emotionally past 16. Makes sense.

 

[jamny]

Jesus, am I supposed to believe RokNRole is in his mid 30's? He's acting like he's 16 on his first job. 

Yeah, I'm starting to doubt his genius IQ.

 

[RokNRole]

Whatsm I getting flak for?

The guy threatened violence against me.

 

[RokNRole]

Yeah, I'm starting to doubt his genius IQ.

What would that have to do with maturity?

 

[jon_mx]

The guy threatened violence against me.

Maybe because you are only telling us part of the story.  

 

[jamny]

What would that have to do with maturity?

Nothing to do with maturity.

High IQ suggest an exceptional ability at problem solving and reasoning. Also being able to interpret information better than most. Many of the situations that you find yourself in seem to indicate the opposite.

 

[RokNRole]

Not really. I expressed my displeasure with how he tries to "help" and he went ape

 

[KCitons]

The guy threatened violence against me.

If this is true, then you should speak to a manager. This person has created a hostile work environment for you. 

Keep in mind that the manager will take statements from other workers. Should those statements prove that you made any threatening comments back to the worker, you will both be reprimanded up to and including termination.

I walked away to diffuse the situation as best I could.

That was kind of an important part of the story to omit.  Probably the key part of the story.

I made no such comments other than telling him "stop" "go away" and "act like an adult"

I said the same thing in the original synopsis. Didn't you read it?

 

[KCitons]

I made no such comments other than telling him "stop" "go away" and "act like an adult"

Upwards or parallel feedback to a boss or coworker is perfectly acceptable in the workplace as long as it's done with tact. Telling someone to go away, or act like an adult is not constructive feedback. I would have pulled him aside after the shift and explained that his behavior sends mixed signals to myself and other team members on what we are trying to accomplish. And while I appreciate his assistance with helping me become acclimated to my new role here, I think it would be best if I took direction only from my direct supervisor.

Yes.  What you originally stated was that you expressed your frustration.  I did not get from that you told him to 'go away' and 'act like and adult'.

I said those things while he was following me around and mouthing off IN the dining room.

You can't control how someone else acts. You can only control how you act.

Why am I even going down this rabbit hole?!!?
