How do I stop bullying at work
r5gtt:
Scottymon this isn't banter mate this is bullying as I know the difference no offence to you.
Scottymon:
Mate you've definitely got to give it them back verbally no doubt about it, but carry on with your work, once they start giving you grief without any response you're fair game. f*ck that, get the video evidence, do your job, stand up for yourself and also look for a new job... all bases covered. Good Luck!
Adam0604:
Just crack on with your work and ignore them. They'll get bored of it eventually if you don't rise to their bait.
Fully understand it's probably not easy when they're chatting sh*t to you everyday, but just laugh it off.
Failing that, get witty against them and baffle them, as they sound like they have the IQ equivalent of a sloth.
As others have said, log it, record it, and go to the boss if it doesn't die a death after a few weeks.
If they touch your car, then fxck it, smash the lad in with a tool somewhere off camera if you don't think you'll take him 1 on 1. Not your hammer, can relate back to you. Obviously this would be last resort.
Disclaimer: I can not be held responsible for any actions or repercussions from your actions if you do this Lmaooo.

@r5gtt as a manager pal I wouldn't stand for that sh"t if one of my guys was bullying another. As others have said gather tangible evidence against the offending parties. Also test the water with a bit of banter in case they are trying to suss the new guy out. Speak to this Steve to see if he had any issues at least then someone who is not directly involved will be aware and can be called upon later if needed. Regardless if it's a big company or small ur rights are the same and by law they will have procedures they have to follow. Gone are the days of what i used to call back door chats where u could go out for a fag tell them what's what and sort it. Now it's all HR. Find out who is in a union and ask for advise. Ultimately don't rise to it physically as tempting as I would be to sort the little pr""k out it will be them that will come out on top wen u lose ur job. In my experience bullying is born out of jealousy maybe ur car or how good u are at ur job making them look bad. U got a new job for a reason stick to ur ethics u can't move every time something happens. That's my management spiel anyway. Failing that give us all a shout and we will turn up 50 strong surround the building with the Golfs and have an anchor man style fight scene lol hope it works out pal

Hmmm. You mentioned this is a small place, but with two of you being new, that sounds like a lot of staff turnover - relatively. I wonder if they've been giving other fitters the same treatment, and the boss might be aware of it. Might just be testing you out to see how far they can push you - who know what motivates these idiots.
There may well be repercussions whatever you do, so try to keep your head down and get on with the job, while you carefully think through your options. Maybe you could build an alliance with this new older guy - he's probably seen it all before.
A very difficult situation and no easy answer. Job hopping doesn't look great on your CV either.
