People often say they are scared of me... but really i'm quite shy. I just have a temper.. I don't lash out as much as i used too though. I try and channel the energy into other physical activities... one's that don't result in bloody knuckles    (Quoting Message by Matchova from Wednesday, March 11, 2009 7:03:18 PM)   Matchova wrote:   Have you ever tried thai boxing?      devils_child wrote:    Yeah, best not to feed into the "ego". Reason i left my last job i because my good, kind, decent (actually knew how to be a manger) changed stores. New dickhead, douchebag (has no freakin' idea) manager took over... When he was assistant manager the rules went.... > If he was playing nice i would talk to him and co-operate... BUT as soon as he started being a prick i either:  1. went off at him usually resulting in me being sent out the back to "cool off" OR 2. I would just walk out and leave ( Good manager understood that if i stayed in the shop with him i would have become violent, which wasn't good when the customers could hear me)  I have a temper, which when set off is not a good thing..... This is why i have a boxing bag at home      Becks wrote:   I have a low bullshit tolerance threshold too, but what I ended up doing in this situation was completely ignoring the men that did that stuff to me. The reason I did that is if I had still pandered to them and talked to them, it would have fed their already giant egos. So I just acted like they didn't even exist or mean shit to me, lol.      devils_child wrote:   I have two words for ya Becks...... F*CK THAT! I am somewhat of a fem in that respect, there is no reason why a woman should be treated differently in the workplace... In saying that, i'm the kind of person who doesn't take shit from anyone.      Becks wrote:   Unfortunately, no I didn't report it. In the case of the people we were doing inspections on - no one I could report it to. In the case of getting ignored - I just ignored them back. I probably should have reported that stuff, but the city I was working in was one giant old boys club *sigh* Edited at: Wednesday, March 11, 2009 7:13:30 PM

DC....You'd have serious competition from my g/f.  I can send you the Energizer Bunny in my place though....

Well Becks, the racist isn't getting fired anytime soon it seems.  Apparently, management "talked" to him about his ignorance and now everything is supposed to be hunky-freaking-dorry.  I feel bad for my African-American co-workers who have to put up with this jackass.

		DP - that co-worker sounds like an absolute tool. I can't stand racisim or sexism (or any negative -ism lol). I got hit with sexist remarks so often through my last job. One dude we were doing an inspection on found out I was in charge of my male co-worker and said 'pfffft! subordinate to a woman!' then started going on about women causing problems or some nonsense. A few men within the organisation even completely ignored me during meetings etc - I was a young female, I didn't matter. Arseholes lol. Hopefully that co-worker gets the boot soon DP - for your sanity! lol.
