    First step, you need to document everything said and done. If this work-mate is causing you constant grief, it won't take long to build a case against him. Use a little pocket notebook or diary, and write down everything, actions, dates, times, witness etc.

    Be objective, and keep your emotions out of the picture.

    Also, keep your own responses squeaky-clean through-out, to avoid the old "he said / she said" battle later on.

    Later, when you have the proper evidence, you can lodge a personal greivance claim. Your employer would be forced to address the issue at this stage.

    Good luck, and keep us posted!

    First, does your workplace have a set of company guidelines which spellout in black and white the rules govering such abusive language. For example, mine does, and calling a workmate a "Stupid fucking bitch" would result in serious disciplinary action and possible dissmissal.

    I assume this is the tip of the iceberg with this fellow. Is there anyone friendly towards you in an HR capacity who could advise you? If not confidentially check with some employment relations companies as to where you should/could go with this.

    This is the more serious end of the stick and should be pursued if a sit down meeting with you the bloke and a neutral third party can't resolve the problem.

    My 2 cents...hope you can sort it.

    Yes definately. I've had to do this myself with subordinate employees who are being difficult and in need of "Performance Management".

    My boss and manager were standing right there. If I said that to a person I worked with I would expect to be severely reprimanded.
    He's on contract and he's getting let go in a couple of weeks, but it's not enough.

    This is hard advice to take and may sound strange, what you need to do is be confident. If he talks to you again in that manner behave in the same manner , head up, look him in the eyes and give it straight back to him......i am a manager trust me it will work.....people will put there heads down and run for cover, but remember, ultimate confidence

    why not just march up to him and ask what his fukin problem is? just get it in the open and tell the silly fuk to grow up. If he's going soon, then it doesn't matter what his problem is, but rise above him and make him feel like a dick. Or just completely ignore him and don't let him get a rise off you.. That could be driving him on - the effect/kick he gets off your reaction

    There is some good info on the grievance process on one of the govt. websites. Also do some googling on workplace bullying. The latter is endemic in NZ and there is a process for dealing with it (you need to make a written note of everything and all that).

    It means I'm not an authority or a teacher, and may not have any experience so take things with a pinch of salt (a.k.a bullshit) rather than fact
