pity you do not have a competent HR department, if you did it should be fixed

why not speak to the fkwit boss's manager ?

I'm thinking I need to do just that. Not really looking forward to it though - I hate getting involved in workplace politics though.

By the way, we have a HM Dept, not a HR Depart, so that's a total dead end.

I take it it's a relatively small company if no HR function? No formal bullying at work procedure either?

Can you not speak confidentially to the another manager on the same level as the manager of the guys doing the harrassment?

Just wait until he goes postal, killing everyone but you because you were nice to him. The bonus is that the management positions will be vacant for you to get promoted to.

Stand up for the guy?

Standing up for the guy is a route, but it helps if you have the appropriate standing in the office. Difficult to explain what that means (age, seniority, not being a person they can mess with), so hopefully you can guess.

Otherwise, cheadle hulme is onto something. Private chat with someone you trust, opening with "I have a problem, what can I (not you) do about it". Odds are they would do something about it anyway.

If neither route is available, just keep a diary for the eventual employment tribunal...

what's your position in the company structure? i.e. are you at his level or the managers' level?

Flip the problem round. If his work isn't up to scratch then it's bad management and poor training.
He then gets to spend lots of time away from the c**ts eating chocolate biscuits on training courses, whilst making their lives misery because they've lost a productive staff member.

Play the game!
