Any least favourite parts about cycling I may have soon evaporate once I'm actually cycling except the distraction of being wound up by the people I have to work with in the day by their deliberate snide and cliched remarks about cyclists.
I don't bite but I cracked once and told a senior manager ( ha! he's 20 years younger than me ) what he'd just spewed out was deeply offensive/wrong/unfunny . This was around the time of recent cyclist fatality. Nearly got me into a lot of trouble. This 'senior' manager was also the the little shit whose contribution in a get well soon card sent to me at home while I was recovering from a nasty smash was " grow up and get a car".
I'm getting wound up again now ...
Is there a 'least favourite part about not cycling' thread ?
You can claim workplace harrassment you know. Big company = KACHING!
Do some research, lay some bait and then reeeel them in. Your manager could get end up getting fired.
If not, just blitz a bag of prawns and tip them down his plenum chamber, then casually ask in a week how his car's going. Guarantee he aint even able to get inside it.
Edit Seriously though, there are laws against this kind of behaviour for a reason. What your manager is doing is most definitely classed as being workplace harrassment. I would assume your company would have policies and procedures in place to deal with this kind of thing. Have you looked into this already? Clearly your manager has no idea about such laws or indeed the proper way to treat people in the workplace. Don get mad mate, get even.
