Negative comments by a fellow employee - how to handle situation

[zubenelgenubi]

Fyi calling someone "old guy" isnt discrimination if it isnt management doing it.
Dediol wasn’t able to prove the hostile remarks were related to any employment action, and neither can your friend. I would advise your friend to learn to ignore co workers.

DISCRIMINATION

the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex.

Calling someone old guy doesn't meet the bar.

I agree with your assessment about discrimination, but harassment doesn't have to come from management. They may have trouble proving that "old guy" meets the definition of harassment, though, depends on circumstances.

alot of ppl in my hub have nicknames over the smallest things but ppl do have boundaries and limits its about understanding
what those are. had one guy threaten me but had a talk with a shop steward since i believe it
was a union problem not something to get management or HR involved, basically got told guy has issues to just listen in one ear out
the other cause guy is all talk. i never threaten ppl at work nor do i go in there trying to make someone feel like .
i get called old nig*** by new hires but im not even black, but i take it as a compliment lol.

Have a friend who is being harassed by a younger guy who continually calls him the "old guy". I pointed this out to my friend that this is age discrimination and is an amendment to the Civil Rights act of 1964.

This country is doomed because of this kind of crap. Go walk on some eggshells at FedEx.

Could the old bastard not figure out how to use the computer and ask for himself?

Or talk to someone closer like HR or a Stewart?

Have a friend who is being harassed by a younger guy who continually calls him the "old guy". I pointed this out to my friend that this is age discrimination and is an amendment to the Civil Rights act of 1964. My friend can report it to EEOC. When it is a fellow employee would you go to the full time management, HR, call the 800 #. So far, my friend has not said anything to this individual. These two individuals are two different races. I know you cannot file a grievance against another co-worker so what solutions do you offer? DO NOT SAY CALL JENNY. This is not funny. Thanks for any positive feedback. In this hub there have been a lot of fights recently with this kind of stuff going on. Management has been lax about getting involved.

Waah, he called me a name!

What a big...

Have you heard the so called old guy complain to you about this young guy calling him old? Did you ever think he does this because him and the old guy have an ongoing back in forth just for fun? I would talk to this so called old guy and ask him if it bothers him first. If it does explain to him their are ways to combat through the union. If not stop wasting your time worrying about him and stop being a cry baby about something that doesn't even bother the person involved. We all joke around at my building and know what we say is not serious conversation. It's called giving each other crap, it's what gets us through the day at a job that can be mundane.

With 38 years of service with this outfit, I lost count of how many junior drivers came up to me and commented about how old I was, and wasn't I ready to retire yet so they could move up a spot in seniority? I just took it with a grain of salt. Didn't bother me in the least.

It's more fun to tell them you've got 20 years to go.
