I was asked last night to cover tonights night shift due to illness...I said i would have to think it over as i had made some plans a little while later i said no to the idea..At which point my supervisor turned very angry towards me and said a few things at me "your not a team player,your a very selfish person and have not pulled your weight since Billys death in november 09....I wish you where not on my team and that if i had the power i would of sacked you long ago!!! You took the piss last year with time off!!(both my parents died within 3 months of each other...) Your a complete waste of space...All of this stunned me into silence as i was not the only person in the room with the supervisor my other colleague looked very nervous and made a hasty exit looking quite shocked....I just sat down in my chair looked at the supervisor and then got up and walked out of the office and went on a patrol to try and clam down before i said or did something i would regret.....This has played on my mind all night and all of today to the point where i am seriously thinking of just handing in my notice and getting out..I thought i was happy here and that i had a good relationship with my supervisor...I mean i`ve always found time to help out and offer a lift when he`s needed one to get a car...Now i just feel like i`ve really been taken for a PRAT...Just feel really low again......

What a git, doesnt sound like the 2 of you can ever see eye to eye again after that.

Dunno how big the company is...got a grievance procedure?....could be worth following it.

He was out of order Bertie. Why should you lose your livelihood for it. Speak to him and tell him if he doesn't apologise you'll put in an official complaint. This wont make your working relationship easy but, FFS, the days of slavery are over. You have rights, exercise them. STAND UP TO HIM.

I have worked for tossers like that Bertie,imo the best thing to do is wait until you find something else then leave,hopefully at a time which is least convenient for him.He has simply shown that he is unsuitable to be a supervisor and is a tosser.Dont lose any sleep over it.
I should add that in my experience incompetent people usually react like this when they have dug themselves into a hole and assume that someone else is going to dig them out of it.That is probably how he got to be a supervisor in the first place, and now you wont pick up the spade and start digging he probably hasnt got a rather clue what to do.

i'd speak to the CAB about some legal alternatives, if your on time, doing your allocated shifts, he has no right to speak to you that way. Its over-time, ie its over your allocated shifts.

I'd give him the 2 fingers, and walk out. But these are bad times for employment, so you need to be careful.

[LJay]

Not an excuse, but maybe he's got some crap going on and you've copped the brunt of it!
Don't go quiting your job till you have somat else, they're a bit thin on the ground at the mo!

[belldarr]

Sounds like time he moved on - he is out of order by the sound of it, if he doesnt apologise escalate it, at the very least if he had something to say then it should be when your not being overlooked by another staff member.

I wouldn't worry about the working relationship as this guy clearly feels that it's shot anyway!

I think i would be tempted to find out about complaint proceedures especially if there are witnesses that would be willing to stand up for you  :-/

Agreed. Walking out's giving your supervisor the easy way out. Keep taking their money and turning up until you find something better and try no to let it get under your skin. It's only a job.

Don't resign till you got a new Job.
He should not have had a go at you in front of a colleague either, shows what a plonker he is.....

[Turk]

He's well out of order there matey. He's not allowed to speak to you like that in private, let alone in front of colleagues.

Grievance proceedure, it's bullying.
Assuming your colleague who witnessed the outburst will make a statement otherwise it's just your word against his.

Tell him they cant get him he's part of the union John

[Mr Skrunts]

Personally I would have taken great delight indrop kicking him the full length of the car park had he have spoken to me like that.  Glad you kept your cool.

Can you go above his head with a complaint, if you can then type it all out very carefully and mention the witness, give him a one off chance to appologise, if he doesnt, then send the letter to head office or as high as you can get as recorded mail.

All the best, dont just leave without thinking it through or some where else to go.

As a team player he should have stood it, the Rsole.

good point..

briefly,  times not good for slamming the door from behind..

imho let things cool down a bit..

and try to talk to him face to face and lonely a second time..gently remind him his mistake and style..

and ask him if he is still having the same idea .. if he is, then try to solve your problem at a higher hierarchy..
