The Farm Boy

A new guy joined us in late 2018. A crazy one! And when I say crazy, I really mean it. I didn't realize that at the beginning. I ignored a few stupid jokes of him and then a unreasonable complaints and inappropriate behaviors. Until I came to the point that one day he gave me finger after almost charged at me. I went to the supervisor and told him the story. Not that I wanted to do that but I had to, especially in this situation that I'm in, and I will write about it later, perhaps in the next week, I can't afford to go through anything as stupid as a psycho Farm Boy! The supervisor asked me if I wanted to have a three-way conversation and I said no. I for no reason wanted to be in a room with that idiot and listening to his nonsense! I had listened enough! 

The supervisor, unwillingly, then called The Farm boy and he, while approaching yelled: This guy doesn't follow any work-place rules! Why I said the supervisor was reluctant to call the guy is because they're both Caucasian and that guy basically works like a horse! In a society that money is of the utmost importance no matter what kind of personality and behaviour you have. As long as you get the job done, no one cares about anything else. I'm good at what I do but not to the level he is. He has worked like this since he was a teenager and it's nothing new for him. I, on the contrary, had many issues when I stated this job, physically and mentally. Most of them are gone now but I still make mistake and that's because I'm not 100% focused. 

They talked and the supervisor didn't give me any feedback. The next working day or so he called me to his office and said that The Farm Boy had handed him a written statement indicating that I have made inappropriate remarks in regards to a new employee who looks to be African! It was of course a lie and a desperate attempt to ruin my reputation! This in fact is a joke! I have been subject of racism myself throughout all these years! Now I'm making racist comments!! 

I told him that it was a false statement and he seemed to be convinced that The Farm Boy had lied to him. I suggested to provide him with what had happened between us so far and he agreed as he had asked me for that previously. So I went and wrote a report of what this psycho has done so far. I was almost 3 pages! When I handed that to him the next morning, he was taken aback! But what's more interesting than that is before he came to work on that day The Farm Boy approached me while I was working and extended his arm and apologized to me! I accepted that because I'm not a shit-pump∗(!) especially in this situation and I told him that we were cool and that's water under the bridge. So when I told that to the supervisor he was surprised as well but after reading my report, in the afternoon of that day, he told me that he considered those things seriously and if anything like that happened again I should go talk to him or the manager. 

It might be a surprise to a reader as why The Farm Boy stepped forward and apologized. All I can say is that the first working day of the week after the incident when I saw him first at worked I said good morning to him and he said that back to me. We had just a few words exchanged that day and those were all work related and that was the day that the supervisor told me about his (false) statement. The next morning he said good morning to me and I replied and then he came and apologized. 

Everything has been good since then but I talks and behaves the same towards others. It hasn't come to the point that someone complains about his but I'm sure it will. For me if everything works well, I will be out of that work-place in less than a month and of course I haven't told them yet but that would probably be a surprise to them. I'm being careful with him and avoid him as much as possible. For example I used to have my lunch in the lunch room. Now I sit somewhere else just to avoid him! That's the best method to handle crazy psychos!
