Hi,
I have been working in my current employment for over 4 years without any major problems. I only started to have problems just before christmas last year.
Basically I was sitting in the staff canteen with my friend when the employee in question butted into our conversation. He started to talk about taking illegal drugs on the company premises. We did not want to hear any more about this and we asked him to leave us alone.
After my break was finished I went and told my manager about what this guy had said to us because it was not an appropriate thing to be talking about at work. She noted the incident and the employee was given a written warning, given a drugs test and his locker and vehicle were searched, as is company policy. I work in a supermarket and this is necessary as staff have access to a lot of dangerous heavy equipment (e.g. Roll Cages, Fork Lifts). This policy is also to prevent staff theft.
Since then it has emerged that the employee has a mental illness which is not a problem. But this guy is going round telling people that I have Aspbergers Syndrome and that I am making all of this up. Also he won't leave me alone. Every time i bump into him he shouts " No hard feelings Caitriona" as If I was telling lies. Then just last week he turned up late for his shift and said that I was following him! I have better things to do with my life than follow him.
How can I stop this?
