Wait for an office party, get her good and drunk and video tape her acting like a fool and blackmail her into submission.


In reality, the only thing you can do outside of screaming back at her is to just constantly tell your immediate supervisor and the HR department anytime she blows up until they do something.

Uh sure you can. There's no law against being an asshole and no law against companies employing assholes. The company can only get into trouble if it or its employees are discriminating against people based on some protected characteristic. Just being a mean employee or employing a mean employee is not against the law.


This is up to the employer to fix or not fix as a business decision.

Lol Ptilk..that's exactly how I feel. It would shock her becasue i am the more gentle ..overlook others bad traits..etc. She would fall on the floor if I ever spoke like that..because i don't ever talk like that.

But yeah, you are right..and she would only use something like that against me..she's not dumb. Right now if I play smart..I am winning! tiger blood....

There is a little lack of information. Do you have an HR? A small company might not have one.

I would wait for the next blowup. I would then ask the same person if he or she was going to do anything. If you don't get a good answer take it over his or her head. For all you know they could be "friends" outside of work.

This lady has issues. Perhaps those "issues" can be resolved. In any case doing nothing is going to pull the company down.

You might also want to go back to her and ask her to not do it to you again. Be as nice as possible. The idea is deliver the message, not restart the war. In a different state of mind she might see might how badly it reflects on her.

There is a risk. I worked at a place who had this nasty piece of work. She did everything she could to create conflict. One week she was off. Several people noted how nice it was to work there that week.

When she came back I explain to her what her attitude was doing and she blew up. The next day I was let go. (I was really to leave anyway, just took it because of a VA paper work problem for a semester.)

Seriously.

The only way to handle it if your bosses wont, is give it right back to her. If your bosses complain, tell them "ou didn't stop her it so I assumed it was OK and that maybe you even wanted us to act like this".

This woman is used to people taking her abuse, give it right back to her. There is a loud mouthed asshole on almost every job, they all will keep screaming at people until someone gives it right back to them....then they shut the hell up.

Hell, I wouldn't even wait for her to do it to me. I'd catch her treating someone to her tirades, and I'd run over and start hopping around and screeching, flapping my arms and making funny faces...then tell her, "I saw you being a nutcase so I thought it was a party".

Shuts people the hell up when you show them just how stupid they are being.

Feel free to cite a statute if you think I'm wrong. There are certainly no federal statutes that allow you to sue your employer for having an asshole employee. I do not know the laws of every state but I would be shocked if any state makes it illegal to be an asshole in the workplace either.


It's funny how many people think the law is a solution to all problems.

You are too passive.

as a manager who has had to sit through mind-numbing harassment training, i can tell you that any behavior that makes an employee uncomfortable doing their job can be considered harassment. it does not have to be sexual in nature. i have a dude that reports to me who got in trouble for telling everyone who will listen about his cheating ass wife and divorce all the time.

tell HR, the bitch will get a firm slap on the wrist. if she keeps it up, her job will be in jeopardy. that's the way it should be. no one should have to put up with that crap at work. you're there to work. bot to be a cathartic punching clown for some crazy bitch.
