should clarify a little. The people on my line wont shut up about the fact that it happened. At the tail end of the night(after he'd already talked all the shit behind my back- i didn't know yet) the guy working next to him called over to me, "hey man, tell him your gay" and I just said something like "yeah man".. its kind of a running joke on our line that everyone elsewhere in the shop thinks I'm gay, so the fact that they were screwing with the new guy didn't phase me any, until I heard the bodily threats made behind my back(interestingly enough, I have 4 inches and about 20 or 30 pounds on this guy). At least have the gonads to threaten me to my face. Or is he afraid he's gonna get his head handed to him on a platter? My coworkers would never 'stick up for me' in that place everyone talks all the shit they want, and everyone else just nods and says sure. But of coarse, anything said behind someones back doesn't stay secret for long.
Unfortunately my workplace is only lax around my line. Any confrontation anywhere else would result in at least a suspension if not flat out firing of both of us.
I got 86 days left of his probation to antagonize him into doing something stupid. I think I'll let this one thing slide, and see if he wants to start any more shit. He seems like he's punk enough to talk more shit behind my back, if he does his ass can say buh bye good money and benefits. Maybe when we're both order picking be real friendly with him and see what I can get outta him, hahah.
