He is violating state and federal laws. Get an atty. and sue the pants off the jerk.

Take this up to the corporate office.  He is verbally harassing you.  Also, you have witnesses that he's been speaking rudely to you.  If you can find the number to the corporation, or bring it to his manager... you have every right to take it to the next level.

It is against the law for a former employer to tell a prospective employer ANY false information.  Most of the time, they are only allowed to confirm your title, pay rate, and if you quit or got fired.\n\nSo relax, find another job, then leave yours without worry.

Don't mention sexual harassment, you'll scare future employers.  Make something up like the commute was too far, or  your childs schedule changed and you need somthing new, blah, blah, something sort of vague yet relatively positive.

He may have done that on purpose, knowing how you are. I think the best to do is just turn the other cheek.\n\nIf he continues to do that, then you may want to talk to his boss about it.

Don't contact anybody in the company to do something about it, save that for the attorney. HR is there to protect the company not to help the employee. They will start "shredding", getting stories right, conduct a token investigation, etc... The longer they are unaware the better. Let them drown in their own ego's. DON'T speak about it to ANYONE at work(the company has spies).  As instances happen,or shortly after, like on break, document what happened (who,what,when,where)(with who witnessed). Obtain names and contact info for all coworkers you can,and break it down into category's (victims, witnesses, offenders). \nContact some GOOD attorney with as much info you can give.\n\n\nAre the people being harassed of a certain class? (race,gender, age, disability, religion,sexual orientation,etc) if so its discrimination.\nIt has to be about money: it talks the loudest!, when it starts costing the company $ it gets the big people involved.\nStress may be a workers comp illness claim. $$\nI loath this typ of behavior.

Do not bring it up unless asked.\n\nYour former employer BY LAW is only allowed to verify the dates of employment, position and compensation....that is LAW.\n\nHowever....some employers will take liberties and attempt to blacken your name.\n\nHave a friend call your former employer under the guise of a hiring manager for XYZ company...and have them ask about your employment etc. You will then have a heads up on the type of answer/reference your former boss is handing out to the people calling in. It is better to know up front than not at all...\n\nBest of Luck.\nBTW...take the lesson learned from your experience and avoid making the same mistake at your next place of employment.

This is from a marketing group.  They called me in regards to magazines that I receive, probably one of the ones I get for free for providing BS information about the spending habits of the company I work for.  Stay on the line for a few seconds after answering, ask them right away what this is in regards to and on behalf of what company are they calling, then immediately tell them you are tired of their harassing phone calls, that you want to be put on their "Do Not Call" list, and you want them to mail you a copy of their "Co Not Call" policy.  When I did this, the girl on the other end immediately got quiet, said 'Ok', and hung up the phone.

get a new number and only give it to people who ABSOLUTELY need it.  or screen your calls.  also, i'd consider get a restraining order, seriously.  i had a bf once who's ex called CONSTANTLY, it was bad, we contacted a lawyer and managed to get an order stating she had to leave us alone, because she was stalking us.

Why would you do that?... If your new potential employer finds out, you might have difficualties. Make sure you have a good justification for it. You migh want to write a letter to your former company where you explain what you did and why, and have it signed of reception or something, that might protect you if this whole incident hinders you in the future.\n\nBest case scenario, they won't find out.

Every state has a .gov website.  Many employers will attempt to intimidate you due to their inherent belief that you are somewhat ignorant or you wouldn't be working for them or any one else barely making a living.  Others just want things to go as smoothly as possible while they make money.  If you are having problems keep a journal of sorts written proof of what you are saying goes a long way.  Write down exactly what happened, who was involved and what was said or done and the date and times.  If the problems become bad enough approach the state regulating body.  I have put the Maryland websites below that might offer some help.  If you are in doubt, don't hesistate to contact someone, they will forward you to the right person.  However if you are trying to blow the whistle and still keep you job or you don't want to make to many waves, call and do it annonymously as any complaint to the state will contain your name and then if your boss wants to they will make your life hell or find some "legit" reason to fire you.  You may just want to look for another job if you can so you don't have to worry about it though...\nGood luck

Just stop. Stop the calling to say you can't talk, and stop emailing and wondering and asking and being hurt and expecting friendships and things. Your friends are right. Don't even try to talk to him. Wait, and call in in 6 months if you must.

Perhaps you could try asking your former supervisor how you could avoid putting yourself in the same situation at your next place of employment.  If you live in a right to work state they don't have to give you a reason.  Good luck to you.

Yes.  First steps is to ask the person to "stop" (this puts them on notice that their behavior is unacceptable).  If you've done this already - great.  Next if it continues, report the request for it to stop.  Next go to your manager and report it.  Go to HR and report it. Find out what steps you have to take to officially file a complaint with your company.  A work environment should NEVER be hostile, EVER!  Good Luck to you.

Re-evaluate your job and what you were hired to do.  Just do your work, do it well, stay out of office politics.  Stop chatting so much, because whatever your talking about, it's controversial and provoking others to snitch.  A competent boss may one day decide to rid the office of the both of you, just to serve as an example to others to "just do what you were hired to do and save the cattyness for your off duty hours".

Contact your phone company and inform them of abuse.  Also, if it continues, contact your local authorities.
