So, I share an office (as in a space with a door that closes) at work with a guy from Morocco. He seemed like a nice enough guy before we shared an office but I didn't have an occasion to really talk to him or work with him prior to being put into the same office with him. Even after we didn't work directly together so we didn't talk tons. However, after a visit from one of the female coworkers he shut the door and proceeded to call this girl every name in the book and I mean EVERY name. I wasn't paying attention to what they talked about because I work a lot of the time with headphones in so I couldn't confirm what he was ranting about but he was pretty upset over nothing as far as I could tell. I brushed it off as him having a bad day and went on with things.

Then a week later (give or take) another female coworker came into our office to talk to him and at the end of it he shut the door and did the same thing all over again.

After watching this happen any time a female coworker disagreed with him over work or tried to explain things to him I started to realize he has a major issue with women telling him things. He thinks he is smarter then all the women in our office combined (and he is not) and he has zero respect for any of them. He is convinced that we should just fire all the women and he could do a better job than any of them could. It's kind of sad to listen to.

Also, after the second time of this happening he seemed to get more comfortable with me and started talking a lot more. The talking I can ignore well enough but he also started dropping the F-bomb about 100 times a day while he was working. He wasn't saying it to anyone or to anyone just sitting them say "F$%^, F!$#, F*#$" over and over again. Oh, he would also make comments about my sex life if I was in a good mood. He would assume I "got some" when I was happy and if I was mad or upset then my wife was holding out on me.

I realize that this isn't the worst thing to deal with in the world but it is frustrating that this is supposed to be a professional work environment and he does this sort of stuff constantly.

I've talked to my boss about this and right now there is nothing they can do about it since we don't have any extra desk space in our office and rather than having a woman share the office with him I'm stuck in there instead. I understand completely and am more than happy to take the brunt of his rants rather than have him freak out on any of the women at work but I do hope that we find a way to either fire him or move me out or something.

Anyway, rant over. I probably didn't even properly describe how frustrating he is to be around. I don't know if I can keep it clean and fully explain how inappropriate he is. Still, just to have somewhere safe to rant for a bit is nice

geeogree : Here's an easy way to get rid of him. Just tell him that the boss told you that he is being let go. Problem solved! In all seriousness, tell your boss about this ASAP! It's probably the best you can do right now.

Pokemonfan1000 : I've told my boss about this already and without him actually saying any of these things directly to other employees my boss can't really do much about it. It's not really a fireable offense to hate your co-workers and privately say horrible things about them.

I'm pretty sure he's gone at the end of June (he's a temp) but the fact that he is a temp and they haven't just gotten rid of him was concerning. Makes me question how they will deal with other issues that might arise in the future.

Pokemonfan1000 : the issue isn't whether or not my boss believes me. He believes what I'm saying about this guy. However, the issue is that he is only saying these things to me about other people in the office. If he was saying this to me then he's likely be in a lot more trouble but he's not. He's complaining, with quite horrible language, about other employees. There isn't much my boss can do.

I mean, being that he is only a temp he could just fire him but he was fired to complete a project and the time/money that would be wasted trying to get someone else up to speed on what this guy is doing probably isn't worth the 3 weeks of time I have to put up with him.

In my opinion, its good that you went to your boss about it but its unfortunate that they don't have anywhere to put him. It sounds like you're doing the company a huge favor by you being the one stuck to work with him. Maybe you could even ask for a pay raise after its all over lol

If you say he's gone at the end of the month, I would just try to tolerate him. You've been taking his rants up to this point so what's another couple weeks gonna hurt? XD

MattyIce : that's how I've been trying to look at it. He and I have been sharing for about 2 months now and just this last week I found out when he is being let go. They figure his portion will be done by the end of June which is when his contract runs out. I will be so relieved when it becomes "more official".

Pokemonfan1000 : he's not getting hired. I've already talked to my boss and to his boss about all this and they have assured me there is no chance of that ever happening.

Honestly, I would have fun with this. I wouldn't get confrontational or aggressive or anything, but I would just stay kind and act dumb while I keep Feminist blogs open on my computer all the time and talk about feminist issues and gender inequality. Post a Feminist Frequency poster on your side and just subtly try to be annoying while playing dumb about the whole thing.

  I have been working so far for 30 years and have been to 4 different places counting the one that I currently work at and I have learned that it,s never easy to work with someone  like the person that you have described in your thread in fact anyone like that is probably one of the hardest to put up with it,s a shame that some people have such little respect towards others but unfortunately there  is not anything that can be done about their attitude only the person himself can change that but hopefully at the end of the month he will be gone and you and the others at your work place will no longer have to put up with him

no 8120 : yeah, he isn't the first person like this I have worked with and I know he won't be the last either. Thankfully I am really patient or one of us would be getting fired for the fight that would have resulted.

Damn dude, sorry to hear you have to deal with this. Of course, I'd probably end up in the same boat as you since I have an iron patience, but still just having to share that environment still sucks.

Some coworkers are the worst. I work in a restaurant, and as it's a restaurant, it's a revolving door of crummy people that quit over the stupidest of things, and they already think I'm their best worker, even though I've only been there for 6 months, making me the longest staying employee as a dishwasher. The cooks are pretty bad too, especially with their mouths and what trash they say.

Oh, I know what you mean, school isn't exactly the same thing, but seriously, when you get kids who absolutely despise it and swear for all they care about, it becomes a huge issue.

I mean, it isn't exactly etiquette, now is it? Inappropriate use of language would never be tolerated. I think you should go ask your boss to be a little warier and considerate of the formality of the workers.

On a more light-hearted note: at least the F-Bomb wasn't dropped 200 times, now was it?
