Current Events > Worth leaving work over one person you don't like a lot?

(+) Yeah! (+)

He's the type of person that if everyone work on a project he will do the final piece and say "me me me me I did this and that and this." The whole team did work yet he always takes credit. On a professional level.

On a personal level, he constantly just does stuff like call me lame when I disagree with something he does. I mean I really try to get along with him but even if we have good days next day is just terrible.

I spoke to my boss about it and he said hes teasing and I'm being overly sensitive.

I mean it's like two different things if for example someone calls you dumb in a joking manner versus you saying a really good idea for work (professionally) and someone calls that dumb (jokingly?).

I know this sounds like a rant but a job I used to really like is really getting uncomfortable for me. I know people have left for worst reasons but it's just really prude and he has it to my friend coworker too. My manager isn't helping and I don't want to go to HR or anything because I'm sure he would win anyway since he is so liked.

Anyone here has an identical situation to share?

chances are good that no matter where you work there will always be at least one person you don't like/can't stand

Yeah sure, then you can join the rest of the unemployeds on here and shit post all day for a living

If you're boss isn't helping then your problem is continuing to try and get along with him. Next time he calls you lame, tell him he's a fucking idiot then maybe your manager might do something. When he tries to take credit for something he didn't do, you loudly tell him he didn't do shit so everyone in the room can hear you. That is how I handle situations like this.

It'd be kind of lame to leave for that reason.

Agreed

Yeah I guess I'm overreacting.

It's hard to swallow when it happens pretty much everyday. I really just wish he left, the environment was so easy-going before he got here.

Now the air is stiff.

That's actually really good insight.

I have only worked retail and other silly jobs before my first "real" job. I thought most places did not have this kind of issue in the professional world.
