I'm not sure what to do

[miplank]

Record that shit...and consider that job security

 

[Oceano]

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?

bench press him

it is harmless, yes.
i talk way worse with my friends.

but if you add to it, his totally condescending attitude, it makes the inappropriate comments magnified.

but you're right... they are harmless, and i should not be bothered by that, only be the condescending attitude and dismissiveness. it's hard to get work done effectively if i can't talk to my boss.

I see your point... People actually think I'm funny and likable so I get away with saying off-color comments at work, even to my boss. Depends who's saying it for sure. If it's effecting your work he should be smart enough to see that. Some people are just overly sensitive, usually people who are emotionally incompetent and shouldn't be working for your company. So I take back what I said, I see now why you feel this way.

 

[fistfullofsteel]

also, cause fistfullofsteel is so ugly.

mean, i'm telling. you take that back.




















you want me, admit it

thanks.
i know for sure i'm not overly sensitive.
it's really not his off color comments that are bothering me at all. if they came from anyone else, i'd laugh.

oh, and I got a k message asking if the other employees find him innapropriate.

the president recently said to him, "you're an HR person's nightmare".

the HR woman said she does whatever she can to keep him out of her meetings with employees because he always says the exact wrong thing.

the new sales guy told me that during his interview, the CEO said that he's had sales women with voices that could make a guy whip out his dick and cum on his keyboard.

the other sales woman, who is philipino... he calls her "the Hawaiian"

WOAH missy! Let me give you a big old chunk of advice here. When it comes to bumping heads with someone above you, choose your battles WISELY. Especially if there is nowhere to go above him. Even if there were, if you complain about your higher ups, you are often the one who get reassigned. I know you just from here, but I know that you are no shrinking violet. The guy is a dick, but now you know his weak spots. If you truly feel like you are in a hostile work environment, get out of the company. Nice girls don't get a corner office.
