go to hr immediately then quit and sue
Document everything

But not worth it in the long run to stay
Experienced this early in my career. Was the shortest job stay in my career. What I did:

- to start, have a direct one-on-one with HR present voicing your concerns
- when the fukkery starts, track/ document everything that happens (personally and professionally)
- keep HR present
- while all the fukkery is going on, look for a new job
- when you quit, email HR the "fukkery" letter (Have palpable evidence; no gray areas)

:wow:
Take heed to all of this. The worst job I've ever had was at a shelter. Had this old cac who was technically above me in his role. He was creepy as hell. Would tell me sexual innuendos, look at my body, had his old cac friend who shared his name come by every day to talk about weird pedophile shyt and secret government shyt. One of them said they call him "big turkey" when he rides in his white van. And he was dead serious

I'm not afraid or ashamed to say this, I shyt myself twice after 2 encounters with him. I feared for my life. If he didn't have power as an old white man with decades at the job and government connections it would've been different. But I was 23 and new. One day for no reason, he told me "you're going to Hell, boy" with one of the most evil smiles I've ever seen

Got out of there with the quickness. Didn't even think about suing or HR or none of that. Now I'm old enough and knowledgeable to know better. Do what these posters are advising you to. Don't stay for too much longer. Document everything. And advocate for yourself. Do not retaliate with violence or insults or none of that. Move smart

Take him to happy hour, get him wasted while you stay sober and then threaten him in the parking lot when it’s time to bounce. Threaten him so bad that he sobers up right then and there.

Document everything, let HR know and start looking for another job. Staying at a bad situation is not worth it, no matter how much you need the money.

in the work space, dont try talk to someone like that they will always out talk you and make you look shyt.

after an incident, email them and cc a few people (mediators incase they act funny), gently state facts (ether) disguised as a quest for knowledge so as to improve your performance that invite a response from the said bully (they will juelz to prove they are right all the time)..dont argue coz everyone seen what it really is...that will learn them to reflect on they actions (everyone already knows who they are but too p*ssy to confront em).

next time you see em, dap em up and act like it was no biggy.

sit back and absorb all the glory of being feared by said bully.

I know a pharmacy tech that did something like this.

I’ve NEVER been bullied at work. Most white people at the jobs i’ve worked have been on that “passive aggressive” wave where they’d rather make little snide remarks under their breaths than attempt to be outright intimidating and I had to check a few (maybe only 3) of them in the past for it but a lot of times they’re cowards.

Yes it is
How's that. If he chooses to be p*ssy how am I effected if I'm shown respect because deep down men respect pure physical power.

The white man is easy to impress. Just save him some money.
