Can anyone offer any guidance please.
We had a new guy start with us about 9 months ago. Good at his job, very likeable but very sales based. That’s his job but often a bit cringey and patronising.
I have been with the firm for 11 years. Never had a cross word with anyone and have loved my job. We have a great team and often socialise at each other’s houses for dinner, bbqs or kids playing etc.
This person came in and sits next to me. To start with all good. My family met him, like him as do other members of staff. There have been work outings and he’s very much centre of attention.
We had an issue about 4 months ago. He completely blew up over nothing. I just left it as sometimes our job is a bit stressful plus the issue didn’t directly involve me. I just got the end of his temper.
There was another issue 6 weeks ago. Apparently i was rude to him to which I apologised but he also brought up other conversations we have had where we have disagreed on a piece of work. The same thing happened last week. There is a disagreement, he shouts and then brings up other issues. Issues of which I have had no involvement or, if I could have I’d say I am sorry but you should have mentioned this at the time. He accused me of lying this week which I can categorically state I did not. His word against mine. I have asked him for examples of when he’s said something negative about me from weeks ago but he is unable to or has a great knack of waffling and changing the subject.
Our director became involved and I have come off feeling like I am not being believed. He is seen as the blue eyed boy that everyone likes and I am being set up. I spoke to family about it and their immediate reaction was saying they thought he was a decent guy, lovely and not like that.
I’ve started to do any interaction with him via email so I have a paper trail but I wonder if anyone has had anything similar happen to them or any advice as to what to do next?
