Would this **** you off?

[Confusedseller1]

Basically, work in a light hearted office and most of the time it's fine but being the least qualified and newest (still been there 2 and a half years ) I get a lot of ****, about my mum etc And I'm not bothered most of the time, but today my keys to my car got grabbed and chucked about until one of them went outside to my move my car (this has happened before), I followed to get them and my wallet was sprawled on the floor and my phone was hidden, so I ranted about what gives them the right to mess with my personal belongings blah blah and got more stick for being a bi*** about it. So yeah I'm not sure if I overreacted, would you be annoyed. This kind of thing is daily

That's called bullying and they sound like a bunch of s.

Either get lots of evidence and sue them. Put up with it and give it back. Or leave.

I'd leave, if that's their culture.

You don't have to tolerate it.

Yeah sounds like it is going a bit over the top , there is plenty of piss taking at my work but it is evenly spread not focussed on one person!

[MitchT]

Last time I was in an environment like that was when I was at school! They sound like a bunch of bell ends but it also sounds like that's the culture. If you don't fit in, move on. I would.

I've worked in many places where having a bit of fun is the norm. But yours sounds like bullying and shouldn't be tolerated. I wouldn't.

Any chance you can grab a couple phones or keys yourself and hide them? Give them a taste of their own medicine for a couple hours and see how they like it?

+1 from me, it's a 21st-century office - not a 1970s apprenticeship. Make a complaint, if nothing comes of it, threaten to 'express an interest in other career opportunities'.

Or let their tyres down, whichever you prefer.

Unfortunately it gets brushed under the carpet as "banter". Looks like your only option is to go up to the biggest one, knock him out, then teabag him. Go to his house, bang his wife and wipe it on the curtains, show them you ain't to be fked with.

Piss on their desks while maintaining eye contact and doing your best Sid James laugh.

[trickywoo]

Last two posts are good advice in the circumstances.

What industry is it? Just out of curiosity.

In my head I'm picturing relatively immature staff, probably not a particularly professional industry, perhaps some form of sales?

In reality it's totally out of order but probably to be expected in certain professions/offices.

[SlimJim16v]

Those are the sort of things only good friends can do, which could ne workmates. However it does sound too much and good for you saying something.

See how they like it *

Send one of them out for a long stand, or a tin of tartan paint..

Seriously, nip this in the bud and confront them.

How old are they, 13?

[HazzaCrawf]

Leave, mate - they're bullies

[Confusedseller1]

Well from the responses it appears I wasn't over reacting, so that's good. Not really the type of person to let tyres down or piss on desks but I get the point Appreciate all the advice! to the poster who asked what industry it's a degree required industry which requires a large amount of professionalism so nothing to do with sales etc don't want to give to much away in case someone sees this thread highly unlikely but Just to be safe.

[Rich1973]

Make an official complaint. It is how you are made to feel which is the issue.

[hman]

HR would be all over this if you wanted to go that route, however probably best to have a chat with your manager first.

Then leave.

[castroses]

Arrive early. Piss in the kettle.
Sit back and laugh.

Is it PistonTechs?

Seriously though, they sound jealous of you, unless you're just a pain in the ass?

[MrBarry123]

Nothing makes me more angry than other people interfering with my stuff without permission. As such, in your position, I'd have gone fking mad OP.

Your colleagues sound like s. They wouldn't last very long in many businesses so perhaps you'd be better moving from a company which refuses to condemn that kind of beahviour.
