Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : My coworker kept making random gay/sexist jokes and I’ve never told him to stop, which is on me, I would just laugh or walk away. Then he started to up his rude meter. He kept going on about how he knows the manager and that’s how he got the job. How he can basically do whatever he wants because he’s not going to get fired. Also brought up how the founders of the company has the same last name as his so he can do what ever he wants. (Note: founders have sold the company YEARS ago so this shouldn’t even matter). I would ask him to grab something for me from the back and he would just say “nope!” And walk away. He spent 90% of his time talking to another coworker and would get upset at everyone else when they weren’t stocking fast enough. 

The final straw was when he began to spread this rumor that one of our coworkers wanted to fuck him. First of all, we weren’t in the break room or in the back, just out by the registers where customers were. Second, when I told him that she doesn’t usually go for skinny guys, he erupted. Telling me that being called skinny is just as bad as being called fat and that society just wants me to believe that being called skinny was a compliment. When I tried to deescalate the situation, he kept interrupting me and going on about how skinny has just as many negative connotations as fat. 

The next day, I reported him to my managers. I told him every joke and every rant he went on and how he barely did any work. Managers talked to him and he found out it was me who reported him. He only got a verbal warning and didn’t get written up. Now he gives me the silent treatment and refuses to be in the same space as me. If he’s placed in the same section as me, he’ll walk away and won’t help at all. 

I’m just really angry and I regret telling the managers about his behavior because it’s made the whole situation worse. I feel like the asshole because I should’ve just let it go and not let my anger control what I did.
