| Workplace Bully Won't Stop – How Do I Handle This Without Police Wahala? by LordVoldemort02(op): 7:54am On Feb 27 |
I need some honest advice on a situation at my workplace. There’s this guy who has been constantly disturbing and harassing me. I’ve tried everything to avoid him—I’ve warned him multiple times, told him the implications of his actions, and I even have evidence of all his disturbances. I’ve even ask for a change of location. The problem is, despite all my warnings, he recently tried to attack me. I’m really trying to keep things professional and avoid any 'police wahala' or ending up in a cell because of him. At one point, I even thought about using a weapon just to protect myself if he lunges again, but I know how Nigerian law can be. I don't want to face a criminal case over a nuisance. How do you guys handle a physical threat at work when you don't want to involve the police? 8 Likes

MiamiLord:As a young guy, he’s picked up a lot of bad habits. You know how it goes—"birds of a feather." I actually had to stop hanging out with him because his circle just isn't doing anything for me. The guy has even been thinking about stealing to make up for some stuff he lost, and I’ve been trying to talk him out of it. But lately, money has been going missing at work, and people were starting to look at me. I had to go to the boss and explain the whole situation to clear my name. I’ve been trying to keep my distance since then, but he just won't take the hint and keeps coming around. 8 Likes |

LordVoldemort02:I would have recommend you to a guy in a Lagos, he would give you on black magic ring, protect yourself when. Threats start coming, infact , the ring won't kill him but any small torches, him muscles will weak and he won't be able to stand up for at least 5 minutes or report to boss while report at police with your boss involved |

Seems you guys have engage in a shady deal before hence you don't want to report to the police 💯....bcuz reporting such issues to the police is not necessarily puting him or you in cell, is to caution him and make him realize anything harmful should not happen to you or else he will be held responsible.. and every one b at peace...

LordVoldemort02:Are you a woman? Let's start from there because the dynamics can be different based on your gender. What is his level? Your colleague at the same level, your boss or what is his direct impact on your work? Or is he from another division? If someone is a threat to your life, HR is not human, protect yourself first. HR has only one job to do, protect the company, so don't be naive and leave your destiny to them. That thing you call professional is how they will professionally manage your story if you die there. Before you joined the company, were they interested in your life? One day you will leave that company so think about it well. Your safety is paramount here. What makes you think if you leave the company he won't still stalk you? How much of your personal life does he know? When did he join the company? Before you? Is he a power player in the company? 3 Likes |
