I'll try to make it short.


There is a person at work who gets mad at everyone all the time..they go off the deep end in swearing rants at anybody that defies their athority. It can be basically nothing.

I don't care if they swear like a sailor..but i do care when it is directed at someone.


I have witnessed this many times happen to other people..yesterday it happened to me.

This is not a factory or a bar..it is a proffesional setting.

I asked her to stop..and she did not..just kept on.

People have quit this job because of her behavior..verbal abuse..threatening ways.

I kept my cool the whole time..other than telling her to not speak that way to me.


I spoke to the office supervisor. I think he is going to blow it off again as normal behavior..even tho he said he takes this seriously.


What would you do..blow it off..take it to the next level? I know her well..because I stood up to her..I will be on the black list.


Edit: To my advantage i just had my annual review 3 days ago. I am considered the perfect employee. I have never missed a day..I am never late..I complete all my work..etc. and everyone in general gets along with me.

Since you've already stepped in a bit by standing up to her, I'd say take it to the next level if the supervisor refuses to do anything.

Look through your company handbook and see if it says anything that would apply specifically to her behavior. Contacting HR would also be a prudent defensive move if you are seriously worried about being blacklisted.

If she is like this with everyone, it is assured that HR already knows about it anyway.

I think you should go get some supplies...

Be prepared ahead of time (keep your new supplies in your desk)
Next time she starts going off like a drunken sailor.

1) take her to the bathroom
2) ball gag her
3) duct tape her hands to her ankles.
4) put on that shiny new strap on dildo
5) Yank her panties down to her taped up ankles
6) Bang the ever living life out of her while cussing at her non stop

7) ask her how she likes it


Repeat as necessary

osmethne..never even heard of that word before..I will look it up .


Anyhow..they do know about it. She is one day funny laughs and giggles..next day, pissed off and on the warpath. Men women and children fear her wrath. She only weighs like 100 pounds..but look out.

They look it over because she works hard..I like and appreciate that very much about her.

But she does not play fair. Ever.

They're probably blowing it off because she's a woman. Especially if it's mainly men she gets angry at. If you are actually a woman (and not just an OutpostWoman (TM)) that might make them take it more seriously.

The reason the behavior continues is because they overlook it. The company has, through inaction, told her that her behavior is acceptable. It is completely unfair to the rest of the office.

And, unless she is the top earner in the office (and sometimes even then), that type of behavior is almost always detrimental to the office as a whole.

How many good employees have you lost because of her? And how many customers have overheard her rants and been turned off by it?
