What should I do about the racist idiot at work?

[Chesney Christ]

Report him to my boss?

Report him anonymously (via letter)?

Confront him personally?

Do nothing?

PS - he is a supervisor.

 

[Robot Chicken]

Put laxative in his tea.

Well, if he's spouting shit from his mouth he might as well, erm, you know.

Assuming you work for a reasonably large organisation then there should be a policy for dealing with this including a confidential way to raise this.

 

[railwayman]

just crack him and run!

 

[CHAPPERS]

Ask him whether you can use wholegrain mustard in a ham sarnie

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Difficult one. Is he racially abusing staff or cracking racist jokes? What sort of behaviour are we talking about?

 

[Questions]

Did he use the 'Paki' word ?



You are a gutless creep if you even have to ask.

you are protected by law for whistleblowing in these circumstances i believe - however ... what proof do you have? you need to make a record of when he makes comments otherwise the severity of action from HR could me minimal, especially if the perpetrator is pally with the head of HR.

i was reading about this in the law Q&A in Personnel Today and thought it was in this weeks but i've checked and it's alcohol & drug testing - if anybody has any questions on that though ...

whoop whoop

 

[railwayman]

sod that just give him a piece of your mind!

Ask yourself whether its you or him that has the problem.

should be a procedure. Find out and report them. DON'T just shrug your shoulders and let them think they are clever or somehow "representative" of "the silent majority". It is the majority being silent that allows a very small minority to get away with abuse

 

[HampshireSeagulls]

Invite him on here.

What a lovely man you are.

He constantly uses racist language, and has some fairly vile views. He isn't racially abusing anyone, although there are no black or asian people in my office.

I don't want to get him sacked, or even disciplined really. I just want him to stop making these bone-headed comments because it is really starting to piss me off.

I don't understand. Why would it be my problem that someone else is racist? Please explain yourself.

If that's your only objective then just tell him that you're not racist and don't like it

 

[portlock seagull]

Tell him your wife's black. That usually brings them out in a lovely shade of crimson and it'll put him in his place.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Why not just tell him to stop making those bone-headed comments because it's really starting to piss you off?

ps Did you see what I did there?
