Revenge in the Office
Discussion
So, for the past 2 and a half months I've been working with this complete cocktard.
He's a lying, devious toe-rag who delights in spreading rumours and generally creating disruption.
I've recently found out that he's created a massive issue out of a conversation that I had with a couple of team-mates regarding promotions. Ended up with my Global head giving me a bit of a kicking about it - it's pretty much the one negative thing on my appraisal, and likely to be the one thing that stops me getting promoted this year.
Unfortunately, his feedback overall is pretty instrumental to my progression as well...
So, how can I teach the twunt a lesson without him being able to trace it back to me?
This may appear cowardly, but if I confront him about it, he's likely to just tell my manager more crap about me, so I have to be "discreet", yet effective...
And just to add, that he's dropped all of the team here in s
t at some point with rumours and speculation created by him, and also managed to achieve 120% staff turnover last year....

I would quietly document every notable contact and conversation with him and keep evidence of any wrong doing on his part and if you can trust others who are racked off with him to do the same, that makes it even more powerful. Make sure your behaviour is above reproach because he will make counter allegations if he is going down. Wait until you have enough such that the company will have to invoke discipline and then grass him up. If he is lying and you can prove it, won't it be P45 time?

Is he your superior in any way?
In terms of grade, yes - any other way, no

Resign yourself to the truth that you can't teach him a lesson if he doesn't know where the lesson is coming from, and admit to yourself that you are in the wrong job.
I'm in the right job, it's just that he should be in a padded cell.beanbag said:
What is the nature of your job???? (Just curious since it might explain the other chaps behaviour....)
Project management - to be clear, I am only on secondment, so in 6 days its not so much of an issue, but this could well bite me come year end.His role is less clear - having lost his whole team last year, he's been managed sideways into a "liason" role with no-one reporting to him, and was also promoted at the same time (despite the fact that he has no respect from the management team, and effectively doesn't have a real job anymore).

Balaclava, metal baton, quiet dark evening and some serious but non-life threatening injuries which will keep him off work for a few months.
ETA: Or hide his stapler?
I could jelly stapler I guess?ETA: Or hide his stapler?

Hang tight, it can only be a matter of time before he is exposed as a twunt.Bing o said:
