So theres this person at my work who has it out for me....
Im gonna call him Evan. Evan has had a problem with me since the first minute he saw me. When I went in for my interview, he looked at the person that was interviewing me and laughed. Then when I was training with him, he gave me an attitude like he thought he was better than me.
We're allowed to bring our speakers to work because we play music while we are In the rooms with the dogs (I work at a doggy daycare). One day I had my speaker, and it wasn't any louder than I usually have it- and over the walkie talkie, Evan says "you need to turn your music down, I shouldn't hear it from the hallway" and then a couple weeks later- I'm walking down the hallway and not only can I hear his music, I could hear it so clearly that I could hear the lyrics.
There was another time where I forgot to leave my phone out in the phone cubby outside of our room, but I didn't TOUCH my phone the whole shift. It was just in my pocket. So as I'm leaving, in front of EVERYONE he goes "if I catch your phone in the room again I'm writing you up" . Fast forward a month or so, and I totally forgot to leave my phone in the cubby. But it was in my hoodie pocket, which I left on the counter and DIDNT TOUCH. At the end of my shift, one of my managers told me that I got written up and I needed to sign something - and guess who wrote me up? None other than Evan himself.
I'm a polite person, so I say please and thank you when it's necessary. If he is the one to come watch my room for me while I take my break, I always say thank you. If he holds a door open for me, I say thank you. And you know what he says? Nothing.
He has his favorites, and I'm clearly not one of them. I honestly don't care about that - my problem is the lack of respect, and his judgemental ways. I've never even had a real conversation with the dude, and he hates me because of the judgement that HE came up with. I don't expect, or even want everyone to like me, but at my place of work- I deserve respect.
So I've decided to be petty and play the game back. The other day when I went to work, I left my phone in my purse and I put my vapes in my back pocket to make it look like I had it. I saw him check the cubby too. When he held the door open for me, I walked right through and didn't acknowledge his existence. He confronted me and said "I better not catch you with your phone in the room or..." To which I cut him off and said "I don't have my phone in the room." And walked away. Then as I was getting ready to leave- he goes " from now on, leave your phone in the cubby so when people go to look they know it's there and not on you" and I said " ok, if that will make YOU feel better " and I'm obviously not going to do it.
Idk what this dudes problem is- but I can't talk to anyone about it because he's a manager that's dating another manager. So I can't go to anyone and tell them that he's singling me out and being a dick to me for NO REASON. Not that I'd want to anyways, but it's crazy and he makes me uncomfortable.
I don't know what to do, but I need to find more ways to be petty and not get fired.
That's all.
