General Discussion

We had an employee who was giving another employee crap about his sexual orientation.

What should I have done?

1) Kick it up to the Receiving manager.

2) Go up the ladder to the Facility manager.

3) Tell him to get off my fricking dock- and don't come back.

It was a crude and raucous work environment- Our favorite was a new guy unloading a 10 ft wide trailer with bad spings off a 42 inch dock plate. They would invariably hit either the edge of the pallet or the center- and the first thing you always heard was "Need a little hair around it to find the hole?"

I went with #3- and both of my bosses did not have any problem with it, because that's what they expected. If you had a problem with gays, you were expected to do it on your own time- we're here to work.
