Confronted Bully(old guy) at work. kindof

[peterseter3]

guys. i'm kind of happy but now there's tension at work.

i told the boss that this Old milddle age guy(50's) coworker has been builling me.
teling me all i do is wrong, getting mad cause i dn't do stuff the way he does it, saying things like "youre' lucky they dont put you to do this(his work)"
And he keeps rushing me to finish his work so that he has less to do in his night shift.

anyways, he was even putting notes on my desk telling me what to do.

today i decided to tell the boss. then when he got to work later on, boss told him.
then he came to me and was mad and quietly said something.

they put him in his place but now there's tension and he seems mad.

i feel proud of myself but i feel bad toobecause now he's probably thinking i'm a sisy and if they promote me to another job and he still there, he's still not gonna be friendly to me .
was what i did good?

Hi peter,

I know how you feel coz I was bullied also during grade school.

But now I understand the situation and the tension at the workplace. It's different when you're already working than when you're a student.

For me you did the right thing. But you can't have it all. There are repercussions to the things we fight for but I think what you did was worth it and gutsy enough already. I mean, if others will be on your position, some won't even have the guts to report it to the boss.

So, I salute you brave little one. If that's the price you have to pay, then so be it! At least you did what you have to do in a professional way. And you're not a sissy in my opinion. You took action and it's good that the boss also told him coz what he's doing was not right--maybe he didn't reaLIize it, so now it's good that somebody's not being a pushover.

So what if he's not friendly to you? That's understandable. You can always have other friends than him. But professionally, you did the right thing.

Kudos! Stand up high coz you were unafraid. He should be ashamed of himself not you, coz he's the 1 guilty.

Thank you gallls

It's been tense for 2 days but it's finnally starting to get better. I guess in his head he is realizing that he did wrong.
I've also tried saying a few things and acting normal and happy to brighten him up so that he isn't still thinking about what happened.

I'd say you did the right thing.

Just try to put all this behind you and treat him like just another coworker.

If he's mad at you it's his problem.

now he's fine. i think he got over it. now today i even tried some little conversation( comments) to ease the tension and we laughed etc. That's good. If he was mad all the time that wouldve been bad
