This happened to me with a boss I had back in 1999. The company was family owned (at the top layers). I tried talking to them, they said they would handle it. It didn't stop.
We didn't have cell phones back then that could record audio easily so I bought a micro-cassette recorder, started wearing hoodies and turned it on before entering his office (he never did it in front of others). This way I could toss it in the front pocket. I carried a notebook in front of me so he didn't see it. I got him on tape a few times being unprofessional. With this the owners had no choice but to deal with the situation and as an apology the "boss" was removed but forced to say why and apologize at a company wide meeting and my tapes were also played at that meeting.
I imagine now-a-days, this may not work but phones can record easily now.
Edit: re-arrange for better clarity.
- Spoom 8y agoMake sure if you do this that your state / province has one party recording laws. Some states only allow recording if all parties to the conversation have consented.
- jason_slack 8y agoThis is good advice. Thank you for mentioning it. I didn't care :-)
