I have a new work collegue .who whenever he can likes to let you know he is an ex squaddie. He is a load mouth guy who as it turns out was in the forces about twenty eight years ago. By the way he makes it sounds like he was a key addition to HRH forces where actually i think all he did was a weekend tour of Bristol town centre back to back. You know one of those guys, Anyway, He seems to be very verbal and load at work.
We are all professional tool makers and since he has turned up, all one can hear is his loudness. Apart from constantly over talking people, He has also a dislike for verbal opposite views and has now become quite aggressive at times to opinion, this is during team meetings. Question is: How does one make a load mouth (HIPPO.* ) like this quiet and teach him to be a lot more civilised? Being as he is now in civi st. I know the forces break em down and build em up but jeeeez.
A colleague of mine who worked with this guy at my previous employer and was bullied by him after i left has already warned me of this individual. This guy, along with his martial arts training and bullying history is becoming a potential nightmare. Mouthing off how covid isn’t that bad and then joking about running a book to see who gets it first at work and now still complaining about work not giving him enough protection against catching covid, even though he like to congregate and closely chat with others. What is one to do? Maybe i should publish His name and Location on social Media. All ideas greatly appreciated.
Finally. And most important. In no way am i demeaning our brave members of our Forces who do a great job and are the best in the world. It’s as shame he links himself to our heroes’ guess there is always one rotten apple that spoils the bunch.
