SirJibAlot 0 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Perhaps you should ask them to let you join? If not, I think an 'all-office' e-mail is in order.... Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 Anyhow, the guy is acting rather differently to me the last few days. I haven't told people (well apart from the SJ universe) but seems clear to me that they know. Plotting plotting Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Definitely time to ask for the pay rise. He is probably plotting on how to get rid of you. Link to post Share on other sites
samurai 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Or just confront him and let him know you're not a threat to his livlihood. If I had someone in on my secrets but was unwilling to get off their perch, I'd off 'em too. simply put, don't hold it over his head. I worked for Nova when I first arrived. Met a girl. started dating her... yeah, you know the Nova rule. My roommate/AT held it over my head as if anyone actually cared. Finally, I quit and now we're married. He finally got asked to leave for his power-hungry motives of always trying to manage people by taking away instead of rewarding. The fricking loser got fired from Nova.

spook 0 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 yeah, good idea i reckon. let him know you're not a threat and you'll have an ally. he might be a lying weasel, but it would be better to have that sort of bloke on your side than against you Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 This is what I'd do. Say nothing. Act like nothing happened. You have the goods, make sure they can't confirm that you have the goods. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 psycho is the word. A colleague got involved with a seamingly normal office gal but she turned out to be a psyco. When he tried to break it off, she wouldn't let him saying that both parties had to consent to the breakoff and she was not consenting. She would then stalk him and even damaged his car. He had to leave his job ans psyco girl tried to follow by applying for a job in the same company. Scarey. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I did have a relationship with a colleague at the CSIRO, but she was divorced and I was separated. We also kept it out of the office. It ended amicably. Thanks Pearl. Link to post Share on other sites
