Really bad end to the day even if it only lasted for 10-15 mins.

Not looking forward to seeing how the rest of the time goes until I go on break.

Hopefully the steps put in place for the future will prevent future altercations from occurring.

Nothing like dealing with someone who thinks the way to solve problems is to enact revenge and thinking that’s the right way of doing things.

That's cos the game is not 'getting the work done', the game is 'being top dog'. I agree with melba that this goes nowhere good. Put on your own oxygen mask first. Good to know that steps are being taken.
EDIT: I'd put money on this person's work history being littered with similar situations.

revenge? There are people like that in the business world? That is crazy.

Oh no, that sounds really miserable... hope this person pulls their head in soon. I hate it when one person can ruin your whole day. When will you be going on break?

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

On break from the 20th of Dec and hopefully wont have to deal with them after that forever.

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Argh, still a while to go. Hang in there, it's good that at least you know you have a hard end date with this person

Oh that goes nowhere good.

Maybe you’d like to secretly take notes of/document/bcc every single thing you can and perhaps polish your resume just in case

I reported everything and some steps are being put in place.

It’s not my safety that I’m worried about but I do have to deal with the stubbornness and attitude which makes is very unpleasant to end the day.

I just meant if they try to undermine you or hassle you out of the job.

I know how you feel, fingers crossed it gets sorted
