Where I work at we have assigned areas we are supposed to work in. There is one person who just cannot seem to grasp this concept and will work in another person's area until it is so cluttered up the place is a mess, then moves into the next person's area and does the same thing. He started doing it to me today and it drives me crazy. If I were a few years younger I'd deck him in the middle of the shift. The boss was recently demoted into his position and doesn't seem too interested in enforcing company policy and getting the guy out of my way. My question is, does it even matter? I can just go work somewhere else, I suppose, but why should I? That is where I am supposed to be working. I've worked there nearly every day for two years. Am I just being territorial or do you think I should physically remove him? I'm not without the means to be physically persuasive when I have to. I would just prefer not to act like that.

Like today, for example, I just went and took over the foreman's area. He got the message, I think. If not, I'm sure when he figures it out I'll pay for it. Which is lame, considering its an indirect effect of his own inefficient management skills. I need a new job.

Can ya tell I used to be the union rep. Safety is the only area that the employer and employees can stop work for at any time until the problem is rectified.

Since then I've gone back to school to get the hell out of there, but still haven't found any other work. So while my situation has been improving in that respect, and my employer does seem pretty willing to cooperate with me and be somewhat flexible with my hours, my coworkers have been extremely difficult to work with. I work with a lot of hillbillies, you know the type, that had difficulty passing their shop classes. Some of them never finished high school. Which I guess is ok and everything since they have a trade they work at and can feed their families, but god damn do they get shitty with anyone who can read or write. For the time being I enjoy knowing that when I graduate I'll have a job that helps people like them hit the unemployment line.

Just be clumsy when he is around and sit back and relax knowing you are better, smarter, stronger, etc. PS if you're using gas it should be easy to spray him with molten steel. :rolleyes:
