I'm not sure what to do

[stilleto]

There aren't enough tears in the world to fix that much ugly.

i know. it's so sad.

 

[gotmilk]

Are you Stilleto's bitch?

why yes he is

 

[ceo]

You're bad new apparently.

I'm SO misunderstood.

 

[princesa]

If I were you, I would suck it up for a little while.
In the meantime, put him in his place.
Don't be afraid of him, obviously he is a classles jerk.
Have a big smile on your face and look at him straight in the eye. Show him that he doesn't intimidate you.
When he walks away, ask him if you need to make an appointment. You need his undivided attention.
Remember he is testing you too. Wants to see how far you can take it.

i've been at my new job for slightly under 2 months and for the most part, i love it. i like the people I work with and I like what I do. I like the people that are under me and i've gotten a lot of compliments.

the problem is the owner/ceo.

first of all, he's 6'5, probably 250lbs, and 40 years old. he talks down to EVERYONE, cuts me off when i'm talking, and often walks away in the middle of a conversation and says, "i'm done with this conversation" when i'm trying to get clarification or discuss our marketing plans.

that's not the problem though. the problem is:
a. he curses constantly. he says "fuck" in every conversation, a few times. It doesn't offend me, obviously, but it's NOT appropriate for business. and certainly not when it's him talking down to me and telling me "this isn't what I fucking wanted."

b. monday I was in a conference call with the sales team. the CEO was demonstrating a sales call and gave out his fake email address during a fake phone call as "mrs smith@ I've got big breasts dot com."

He was sitting across from me when he said it.

c. during the meeting, he his laptop got a virus. he turned to our security expert in the room and said, "my computer has a trojan.... I guess I had cybersex and forgot to wear a rubber."



there are other instances that happen, but I can't remember. little things, but not appropriate. Should I just write them down with dates for future reference/use?

Considering he's CEO his place is more or less wherever he wants it to be. That advice would get her fired.

as Dial Tone said, he's the OWNER/CEO with a huge ego.
putting him in his place is the LAST thing I should do.

there is also no time for his attention. he doesn't want to give it. and frankly, the less I have to talk to him, the better.

 

[curvymommy]

All that would drive me nuts Stilleto! I know someone who went through some similar crap and they would say Document EVERYTHING! Keep a journal with the dates, times, crude, sexist comments keep it in hard copy not just electronically. Just to CYA for future purposes.

Crazy guy!

 

[stilleto]

i think i'd feel better if ceo just gave me all his k.

So are you suggesting that she should get down on her knees


C'mon he is testing the waters.
I've encountered the same situation in the past, quiet a few times actually. I sure as hell wasn't fired, I was respected.
