So .. Here is the latest on this fun event.
We had a general plant meeting this morning, about plant issues, line upgrades, quality stuff ect. During the meeting both the head of HR and the plant manager mentioned the civil are respectful workplace rules we have in place and the will be severe consequences for anybody not following the plant rules.
Not long after the meeting the same guy had jammed a female employee into a corner of her "L" shaped desk to "get a pencil ". Unfortunately she elected to not take the matter further than a written complaint for his file.
I had already decided were I needed to go with my issue with him. (Its difficult to take matters further when you have to work with the guy every day.) I intended to take him to one side one on one, let him know exactly what I thought of his games, and if he tries anything with me again I was going straight to HR to report him.
During lunch the plant manager came out to me for a talk, and he did bring up the problem with this guy. He wanted me to let him take it further and he would stand behind me 100%, I just needed to let him pull the trigger. I explained to him the problems that this will cause, and I was not sure it would be better in the long run. I did however tell him I was going to let the guy know exactly what I thought of the situation, and after that, the next time he is all yours.
At last break I was able to get the guy to one side, one on one. I let him know if he ever touches me again in anyway I feel is inappropriate, I will head to HR and report it, he can deal with the consequences. ERM . OK he says, but WTF are you talking about. I had to explain to the dumb fuck that what happend last week was not cool by any stretch of the imagination. His response, "I was only messing around, I didn't think you were bothered by it." I had to explain to him the fact I pushed him off, screaming get the fuck away from me, should have indicated that.
The mind boggles.
