Ignoring the fact of what's being discussed in this thread, I think you posted what wage you would be earning when you got offered the job, maybe they saw that and if it's higher, then that is why the bullying has started? Also a lot (and before I get shot down; NOT all) of fitters/garages seem to have this culture of offensive banter, spraying each other with grease guns, hiding tools, disabling cars, swearing, (not so)jolly japes etc... It's not an excuse, I'm just saying. The likelihood is that the wiper thing was just supposed to be a prank and they did not intend to damage your car, it does not make it right, just saying.

There is also the fact that people that have been in a job a long time without any career progression don't work as hard as a fresh faces newb trying to make an impression, so that probably worries them.

Best of luck here, keep notes as already said, don't do anything back, don't do any pranks, keep it professional and work to your standard not theirs!

Cheers

No mate they won't be on here for sure.

Salary and telling people on here isn't meant to show off but make sure I'm earning the correct salary and happier now I can afford to live.
These guys know the basic wage of a fitter at this establihment as I asked what do fitters get and he replied £15-18 an hour and I replied I don't even cone close just to keep him happy but he's been there 10 years so knows what's what imho. There's banter which we've had but there sarcasm and in your face kind of shi** I'm not liking and I don't believe I'm being tested as a newb as I'd know the difference mate. I'm 41 but small in frame and Asian so assuming this is the reason I'm being bullied along with a few other things coming to mind. I've scratched a few panels here and there so they call me scratchy  :signLOL: no matter I don't mind that but taking the pi** isn't something I appreciate in any case. This jerry bloke who said he'll sort me out if I talk to him was out of order and he called me a cheeky c**t for some reason and I don't even talk to him unless I want the trolley jack or a clip for a car. Why he did this is unknown as he calls me bruv bruv or did call me that. I'm getting the feeling that Vincent character is stirring some shi** to people as he keeps on lookomg at me when talking with others and others are also lookomg at me in a strange way at this point

Dash cam to protect your car – it might be an unwanted expense, but it could prove crucial and it might also help you out in the future in general.
Don’t ignore them completely, just don’t raise to it (don’t show any sign its upsetting you – don’t get angry etc).
Don’t do anything at all remotely illegal.
Log & record everything

Hope it turns out alright mate

Thanks Pesky mate, I'm keeping it real and doing the ignorance things and even blanking him when he says shi** to me. I'm not getting angry or showing him any signs of anger as I'm generally a clam person unless seriously provoked and still I try breath and carry on even though I wanna smack the bast*** across the head with my hammer.

Life's too short to put up with that crap. Have you tried looking for similar jobs in the area? I'm not one to walk out when the going gets tough but even if the bullying does stop do you think the work atmosphere will ever be the same? Especially if the bully's just get away with a slap on the wrist.

But I would never be out of money because of the tossers so get another job lined up first before leaving.

As for payback, I would do something equally as bad to their cars and leave the rest to karma  :happy2:

I've not as I'm not trained in this field although the money is better than your average service technician shi** job working like a dog and ending up with naff all to show for it.

Yes even if I told management they'd probably just get a slap in the face I'd hope and that's that. Atmosphere isn't and will not be the same again I know this for sure.

That's why I'm not going to just walk out of the job as I'm thinking this is what the tea pots want. I'll be searching for new employment asap as I don't think this is the place for me any longer. So much for wan**** at thr work place. PAYBACK  :grin:don't you worry mate patience is a virtue. :happy2:

Just found out from an agency bloke that the thing is  called MET or ATA and it's a day or two training which is bull**** tbh as which mechanic technician whatever can't take a part off and refit it  :signLOL:
