Question: My colleague talks to me in a VERY rude manner. Time to end it. What would you say to him?
My colleague talks to me as if I'm a piece of sh*t, and it's getting me really down. He's always bossing me around, giving me orders etc. He would really fit the description of a real KNOW-IT-ALL, and I've been around for a lot longer than he has. Until now I've been to nervous to confront him because I don't want a awkward working environment. But I just have to say something, because I can't allow people to talk to me that way. What would you say to him?

Answers:

I say stick up for yourself, even if that means you have to be rude yourself. Awkwardness is a state of mind -- if you don't allow yourself to feel it, then it's not awkward. Only he will feel awkward, but who gives? If he's a prick, then that's even better. Just walk around tough and with your head held high afterward, and he'll see that only he feels awkward. I say tell him straight up: "You are an asshole and you need to know your place. I've been here longer, so stop being such a know-it-all -- especially when you don't know ****. I AM your superior, and you WILL not talk down to me. And if you do again, you will face serious consequences." (Don't ask, like "Would you mind being nicer?" but SAY IT like you're simply telling him how it will be from now on.) Who cares what his reaction is? Stick up for yourself. When he tells you to do something, just say "No." Come back ten times harder everytime he says/does something. Hurt him as much as he hurts you. It's either that, or deal with this constantly suppressed resentment and hate work everyday.



Ask him what is his problem with you. Tell him you don't want problems , you're just talking to him to clarify the situation, if happened or not any misunderstood. Because you hate your kind of relationship, because you are colleague and you wanna have a good relationship with him, but he doesn't make the situation easy. Keep calm and confident. If you keep stressed, the things will be worse.
In addition to (it's very important), be honest!!!
I'll pray for you. Good lucky!



You should ask him jokingly ''Either you are being rude to me or I've become too sensitive'' or smth like that.



"STFU NOOB"



I quite like the phrase 'That tone is not constructive'. It's not rude but conveys the message you are not happy with the way you are being spoken to.
