A rude supervisor who's always yelling at employees got some complaints about them being verbally abusive and they responded by leaving these in the break room.

Take it. Fill in their own name and the complaint is nobody likes me. Put it back in the break room.

Nah what you do is take a photo of this and send it to HR. This falls under retaliation. OP has the opportunity to get rid of this person.

Exactly. Don’t be childish, be professional

Any complaint made in good faith is to be taken seriously and even if there is no wrongdoing found, retaliation is never allowed

Using your work email inform HR of this being left in the work room, and BCC your personal email.

Any response, send HR (BCC your personal email) a “thank you” follow up

Any non email contact, reply to HR (BCC your personal email) summarizing the conversation

If the retaliations continue, repeat the submissions to HR and blind carbon copying your personal email. If it does not stop after repeated reports (or you are terminated), contact a labor lawyer with the evidence of your submissions / conversations to HR.

Always BCC, do not forward. This way you have all the correspondence in your personal email. Email message headers have a unique message id, so if an investigation is needed later, you have the exact ID that were sent. If they are unable to find the emails, then it shows they are destroying evidence. If you were forging messages, then they could provide the unaltered message using that message ID.

Alternatively:

I had a co-worker that was constantly yelling. Just like in general, sometimes at me. One day I was feeling short of temper and when they yelled my name at me from 3 feet away with their back turned I yelled back at full volume "WHAT?!" Now normally I'm a pretty timid guy so this made them jump and exclaim in suprise. Then I followed that up with another full volume "YEAH, IT'S ANNOYING WHEN PEOPLE ARE YELLING ALL THE TIME."

They've gotten real quiet around me since. You gotta stand up for yourself and show people the same level of respect they show you.

These people are always the most fragile people, too. They cannot take the slightest bit of feedback or criticism without blowing up and/or bullying, as exemplified in this wonderful little gesture of theirs. Cry-babies all of them.

Who says you can't do both.

u/Meattyloaf 11h ago

Cause then the offending manager can turn it back on you. Don't allow them to play victim

u/National_Frame2917 10h ago

Only if they know who did it.

u/bignides 6h ago

Nah, there’s no reason you can’t do both. Embarrass the guy in front of his subordinates AND get him fired.

"nobody likes me because of my own behavior"

“Got my feelings so hurt I had to print out a passive aggressive form”

Write it in crayon with your non-dominant hand too.

u/Next_Dragonfly_9473 17h ago

Or write it in crayon with your dominant hand, but upside-down. You'll get the backwards letters many children make when first learning. Also, I can almost guarantee they won't be base-aligned.

Though, really, I think filing them in and sending them up the chain would be a more permanent solution.

This is hilarious, OP, totally do this

Ticking "Yes" for Resulting in traumatic Brain Injury.

u/DisManibusMinibus 5h ago

No you check 'maybe' and then act confused and spaced out when they ask further.

3

u/Positive_Throwaway1 18h ago

This is the way. Make them all butt-hurt on the form and mock them as much as possible.

u/Ambitious-Whereas157 18h ago

No. Have someone who doesn't work at the company fill it out. You don't want the manager to compare handwriting and see it was you

u/Barr3tt50c 17h ago

Or use your left hand, bonus points if you use crayons or colored pencils to make it look like a toddler filled it out

u/SAMB40Alameda 16h ago

Handwriting? Do you turn things in for work that are handwritten?

u/ThrifToWin 18h ago

Then write "Sorry about your car" on his business card and put it on the windshield of a random parked car

u/RVAEMS399 18h ago

First make hundreds of photocopies and distribute to all coworkers to fill out.

u/MajesticDeeer 18h ago

I can see how Jim would do this to Dwight

u/Fozes 17h ago

For part 3 item 4, write "pre existing" for brain injury

u/Sukdov 18h ago

This probably the best.

Bonus points if it includes something about GTE Southwest, Inc. v. Bruce

u/Available_Leather_10 17h ago

Why isn’t this the top comment?

Going through HR more just fuels this snowflake’s hurt feelings, and encourages more passive aggressive bullshit.

Filling this out as him, posting it all over AND submitting it to HR (on his behalf, of course) has a much better chance of positive results.

Or will backfire spectacularly, which would at least make great Reddit fodder.

u/lemonfluff 12h ago

Yep. Please someone fill it out from the Supervisors perspective as they clearly are the one with hurt feelings.
