All I ever wanted was the world
He thinks you're going to take his job.
I don't want his damn job.He thinks you're going to take his job.
I don't want his damn job.
proceeds to give me a speech on how this is his lively hood and has been doing it for 30 years.
Plus he asked how old I am. He then says in a stern voice, "I've been doing this longer than you been alive". Me STUNNED
yep. I had a boss who used to say "Perception is reality". It's damn true. Doesn't matter you're not actually trying to take his job or overshadow him. Its what he thinks you're doing.He doesn't know that. But he's threatened by you.
^^^ they're probably talking about replacing him.
I hardly talk to the guy. I'm mainly close with the hiring manager though. Plus, I never really said anything to him.yep. I had a boss who used to say "Perception is reality". It's damn true.

Also reading parts of your story again, I'm always careful of telling other black folks that things might not be about race, but from everything you said, I'm leaning towards this just being a bitterthreaten by the new younger and slimmer model. Like I said, I know the pain.
shyt happens breh. You can be a complete mute and never look at the guy. Yet, in his own head, the gears are turning in their own weird direction.I hardly talk to the guy. I'm mainly close with the hiring manager though. Plus, I never really said anything to him.
Word and I'm gonna use this advice thanks manAsk to talk to him privately and say this "You and I have got off on the wrong foot. I do my well, damn well. So sir, I want to know what is the issue you have with me and see we can work it out." Say this slowly and look him right in the eye.
If the cocksucker doesn't change after you had a man to man, look for another job and tell him to go fukk himself on the last day. Miserable old people like this make work so much more worse when you have to interact with them.
This is what I said I was gonna do and I agree with you. I stood up for myself three times against dude, but he's just getting annoying.You need to toughen up nikka. Don't listen to these lames talking about 'find a new job'. Confront him and take him on. Go to HR, talk to him in private telling him you don't like the way he talks to you and if he persists, talk back. You might end up losing the battle but it builds character for the future because trust me you'd be facing people like that throughout your career. Are you gonna run every time you face someone like that?
Well good. Don't give up.This is what I said I was gonna do and I agree with you. I stood up for myself three times against dude, but he's just getting annoying.
I'm not brehWell good. Don't give up.
