I hope you are okay -- also your folks.<br />As for the tosser. I have lived through this. It is horrible. Document. Document. Document. Also, get HR involved as soon as you can. Do not meet with him alone again. Call the tea lady in if you have to. The voice recorder on your cell phone is your friend. I wish I had the technology when this was happening to me. Wendy, don't let this FH hijack your life. When you go to HR, make sure you ask for employee assistance to stress. This usually lights a fire under them. Good luck, and stay safe!Nancy Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01495672268045907181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-45559639925007613432011-08-10T13:46:46.835+01:002011-08-10T13:46:46.835+01:00ha ha ha, nipple tassles! sheesh. you need a comed...ha ha ha, nipple tassles! sheesh. you need a comedy break with all that's going on around you. i hope it all finds swift and happy resolution!cauchy09https://www.blogger.com/profile/09343566591325967770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-71539200658450596022011-08-10T06:06:05.340+01:002011-08-10T06:06:05.340+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359804514395818205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-49110707994459367862011-08-10T04:24:14.308+01:002011-08-10T04:24:14.308+01:001.

Here, they would have had the water cannons and rubber bullets out already...I can't imagine why they're not doing this for you. I'm saying a prayer tonight for your safety.<br /><br />2. The projects are GREAT! I'm so on board when I get five minutes!<br /><br />3. Glad you found some links!<br /><br />4. Do you have a cell phone? Next time he starts, or before you go into his office, call someone - ask them if they can record it on their answering machine. Leave it on while you're in there, then as you're leaving, let him know you've recorded him. If at all possible, pick up a small voice-activated recorder and USE IT.<br /><br />5. I don't live in the UK and can't knit.<br /><br />6. Check the kitchen, and sofa cushions. Or your car.<br /><br />7. I've been successful so far at avoiding PIF's, lol - and I mean to stay that way!Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877277586697593998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902503112918417582.post-61853276629289375782011-08-10T03:17:05.775+01:002011-08-10T03:17:05.775+01:00Hmm...

I discovered the local papers website was best last night as well as frends on FB to know what was happening locally. There is just too much to mention. I live in the Borough of Lewisham but there was incidents closer to me than mentioned on the news. About a mile away.<br /><br />Bullying. I've only had one job like this and as a contractor I was able to walk away. Check out things like CAB for details but I believe you need to start by keeping a diary of every single contact you have with this person (with and without people around) and save every email etc. This can then be used if you decide to report him. Your HR might have a policy that you can get hold of as well. If you take him on formally, you would have to do things like ask for someone to be there at every meeting you have with him and to independently assess any work you are doing. Unfortunately the sad truth is that people like this usually get away with it.Shevvyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16597474715523695213noreply@blogger.com
