I have an unsual problem here. There is not so sensible guy in security who used to annoy me with silly intrusive questions. I used to answer him purely out of politeness even though the same questions everyday irritated me. But one day he passed a deragotary comment like "idiot" when i was about to close the door.Maybe i didn't meet his one sided expectations of chatting..but i heard it enough and complained to the manager to ban the secuirty guy from the floor. but the security management only asked the guy not to talk with me.The absurd thing i saw a colleague of his communicating the message! no stern message by a supervisor..it obviously didn't have the desired effect. they tried talking to me once some ten days later..but i just ignored them.. This time an old woman hand in glove with that guy passed a similar comment in similar circumstances..this time i was agitated enough to talk directly to the supervisor who finally passed the mesage this time to higher ups. I wanted the security transferred and penalised immediately.The superior promised that problem will be solved and that he will warn the guy enough..but he said he had difficulties transferring the security immediately..i told him this was the second time but he said the HQ came to hear about it now..if security guy misbehaves again, he promsied a transfer but for now he will issue a strong warning and promised it would end. i found this very annoying as i felt they are dealing with an incorrigible guy the wrong way and i had little faith that a guy would change......the culprits are facing no penalty for an insulting comment and it was only a issue of not disturbing me for the supervisors.. and i also had to face that hated guy atleast in evening..that guy was brought by the supervisor to meet me directly and he was made to apologise..he promised nothing would happen again...though i didn't like the fact he didn't admit his "comments" and he was obviously a natural liar....he showed his true colours just as i expected this week by making the same comment obviously smarting under the humiliation of my last complaint..this time i really laid into the supervisors...they have promised strong action and said transfer is sure..but i demanded harsh penalties for rude conduct...My feeling is the immediate supervisor is suited only good guys but not sociopath liars like the security guy..The thing is if my office colleague had said this, i would have his teeth re arranged but i was advised to let superiors deal with scum from the slums. should i have pursued the hard option the first time and settled it with a punch? or am i right in letting it go the legal way? i am so angry for the last few days that a guy who cannot match quarter of my first salary thinks he can't pass certificate to me(not that if a more qualified guy said it would be acceptable but they don't).. do lawyers have any option for me to deal with this if things are not satisfactory?...My manager thinks i am getting too agitated...but i don't think i have put up with comments from anyone and have the hassle of dealing with people i can't stand...i have the right to goto office in peace...its a pity they didn't heed my request the second time..i would have done it the first time itself! for 14 years i had no such issue..but one fool is enough for a lifetime!
