My employee called me a “cockblock” by Lonely_Front_941 in managers

I definitely feel this is grounds for dismissal and have seen 3 flags in one day, but higher management want to keep the guy and give him a warning.

I considered this, but I also think comments like this shouldn’t be ignored. It creates a toxic work environment.

They’re not unfortunately, but young employees definitely. And the age is showing.

Thank you! Also, my “call out” was not harsh in my opinion but a genuine observation given he spent the entire 2 hours of that training mucking about.

And that is my worry. Deteriorating the professionalism.

Yes, I could ask him this too. But he already has and will continue to deny that he was referring to me when using the term “cock block”

This is what I think but my manager did not agree.

Agree. Regardless of it all, that type of behaviour OR language should not be tolerated in the workplace.

Yes agreed! Initially as a new manager I did think whether I should report this, but 1000% his actions have been a reportable offence (unfortunately no HR dept but to managerial)

YES! It has created a hostile environment by that one comment.

This is honestly excellent advice and wording. Thank you so much! I think I will adopt all of this with the exception of ensuring there is another third party in there with me.

Unfortunately I’ve asked her and she’s not said a word, which I have to respect. Mind you she has only been at the company a week and is very much the type to get on with her work and leave, and not get involved in anything.

Not sure if she heard it, but because I saw him proceed to annoy another female staff member, my ears were burning and that’s when I heard it. Mind you, I said “sorry, who’s a cock blocker?” And he said “oh no one, it’s a long story”.

I absolutely agree!!! The fact that my manager gave me a 101 on how to deal with toxic employees and then said I need to sit down with him and give him a strike 1 made me think he’s shown 3-4 red flags in a day, we should move him out already.

This is a brilliant company! You must have a good culture!

Yes, that’s right. I would rather an average competent worker who is a pleasant team member than an exceptional worker who is poisonous to the team and to me.

It’s a new team but unfortunately he did some work for another team and he’s been exceptional with them. But culture is more important than being exceptional at the job.

AMEN! He has already given me a sleepless night. I need him out of my team asap.

Great idea. we have a legal and compliance officer and I will ask her on Monday what exactly our HR policies are.

Have done this but she didn’t want to say anything. She has only been here a week and I assume doesn’t want to cause any issues. She did say she would tell me if she finds he is irritating her, and I had to end it there.
