My wife is dealing with a manager at work who is often disrespectful to her? What should I advise her?

I would advise her to go to H.R. & report just what this manager is doing to her. She does NOT have to accept the unacceptable, & IF this be the case, he should be reported. NO one is better than anyone else & no one should disrespect anyone else. It will not get her in trouble, it will help get things straightened out for her & make life a LOT easier on her in work. Tell her to do it immediately, get it over with & at least have a much less stressful working position...best to you...:)

She needs to be cool, calm and collected and air her feelings to the manager.Getting angry or confrontational is out of the question, as it may make her a target for persecution.

That would be step one, and she should document the conversation content and date, time etc. If the talk doesn't go well she needs to take it to the next level of management and so on. One of the most common mistakes is to rule through intimidation, rather than respect. You can get 100% productivity either way, but you'll lose dedicated and trustworthy employee's with intimidation....and it makes you look like an ***! lol

If the proper chain of command is't in place and no resolve is in sight.....it's time to find another job, or man up and have a little "talk" with her manager.

You should report this to whoever your manager's higher up is, either his boss or manager. If she feels harassed, threatened or in some sort of danger, this could be grounds for criminal charges. If this resulted in discrimination that caused her to lose a promotion or a pay raise, than the company could be fined by the state. If none of those are true, report it anyway to resolve the situation.

Either she puts up with it or you create a notorized & certified paper trail and either he will straighten up or get fired. If they fire her then she can sue for say, sexual harrasement. Lots of ways to skin a cat. If she thinks that hes untouchable then I would go with the sexual harassment suit because that always works, not exactly the truth but then again all she has to do is say it. Most companies get rid of management before the first of the year anyway. Low? No matter, only that it creates results.

The first thing she needs to is tell him to back off...in a professional way, of course. If that doesn't work, then she needs to report him to higher management but be prepared for negativity..DOCUMENT EVERYTHING.

Why do all you assume the manager is a man?

If she's not comfortable discussing the issue with the manager, then she needs to go over the manager's head to their boss...

This belongs in Other - F&R since it's about your wife's relationship with her employer, and not your marriage...

she needs to report him---i know my husband would pay him a visit, but i would first report him, if they don't deal with him, i'd tell my husband....oh god help him then..there's no fury in this world like my husband, when he remembers how long i have been here without him, and why...

aw yes...i don't blame him tho...if i was my husband i'd be the same...
