The Fiasco
There is something to be said about professionalism in the workplace. Yesterday gave me an example of what not to do. To make a long story short, a person who is in a place of some authority, blew up. Through the course of his tirade, he began using some very strong language very loudly. I am rather thick skinned, and knowing the incompetence of the guy to begin with, let things just wash over me. Several times I went to my boss in attempts to calm things down, and get things taken care of. The guy just would not stop. Finally, he began using language that isn’t appropriate anywhere. Instantly my gears shifted from “getting the job done” to “get this freak calmed down and away from here NOW!” Sexual harassment charges could be filed by several people, and I hope they do. In the middle of all this he said the funniest thing, “I am the only one with any morals in this crap company!” This tirade happened before lunch.
After lunch, when he finally came back to work, he began calling all sorts of people and going off in the same manner as before. Come to find out later, he was calling people in the other building. By the end of the day, the most random set of people knew about the situation. The sad thing is, nothing will end up being done to him, I’ll probably get some of the blame, and I’ll have to hate him forever. Do not worry, everyone of us who were involved wrote up what happened and gave it to our boss so that our side of the story has been told. I still crack up over that line, “I am the only one with morals in this crap company!”
The sad thing, after I left for the day, he began cornering people and going off again. Innocent people, who still have innocent minds, were being cussed out. People who have not had to deal with situations like this before. Who had no one around to back them up. Couple this with the guy’s prejudices against people from India (half of our programming staff) which he has spoken, I really think this guy should be fired!
Enough of a rant, I have two days where I don’t have to even think about him. I’m taking full advantage of that situation to further my plans for world domination. I’ll see you all on Monday, I like to take Sunday’s off.
Peace!
