[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've told this story on DCUM before, but sometimes, as a woman, especially if you're young, you need to stand up for yourself and just kick these people right back.

When I was super young I had a much older male colleague that screamed. He stomped into my cube one day and started screaming at me. I had enough of his crap, so I picked up a binder that was on my desk, threw it at him and screamed right back. He said he was going to my boss, who was standing in the hallway and heard it all. That guy never bothered me again, and, a few weeks later, he was gone.

Nothing happened to me. Now, this was 20ish years ago, but sometimes you have be the jerk back. [/quote]

Op here. I didn’t go this far, but I did tell him calmly a couple months ago that he was not being helpful and that I needed to go. He didn’t stop screaming. I said it again. He didn’t stop screaming. I grabbed my keys and purse and walked out. He tried to stop me and I ignored him.

He reported me to his boss and I lost my bonus. They didn’t believe me when I said he was screaming at me and that it wasn’t the first time.[/quote]

For future reference, losing your bonus over that is definitely worth going to EEO.

You could consider taking unpaid FMLA for a few months for anxiety so you can search and a new job while still being technically employed. [/quote]
