The New Bloke At Work - Just Quit (P6)

.....been here 5 weeks now and alienated everyone.
When I've started jobs you keep your head down, get to know colleagues before talking politics and religion and try and blend in.

Not this twat.
Opinionated from the first lunch break. Never shuts up. A Trumpster and covid denying prick (I made an error in asking him if he'd had a covid jab and he replied "what's covid..."

I can't eat a meal at work anywhere near him since he discovered I am a veggie.
"Hey there's meat in the veggie stir fry they made a mistake labelling it"
"It would be so funny if the cook made a mistake and they are real sausages"

His latest was "how much would I have to pay you to eat this piece of beef, $1,000?"
I replied "put the money on the table and let's see what happens". Shut the fucker up and I'd have eaten it just to see his face.

He rubs everyone up the wrong way. I don't have an issue in what he is saying (work wise) but his delivery gets everyone's back up. He usually starts every sentence when talking with me with "I think i just pissed (insert a different name for each conversation) off...."

Four of us planned a night out straight from work (we finished at 11.30pm on a Friday / Saturday and he finishes at midnight. We were going without him in one car and he saw one male pull up in the company car and a female colleague get in it. Me and the other lad had to walk for a few mins away from where they were so he couldn't see us get in the car too.
The next day he's telling me he thinks the couple are a love item as he saw them drive off together.
And 2 weeks ago I was off site and he asked me.to get him a McDonalds. I give it him and he says he doesn't have cash but will buy the first pint when we go out for a drink...... so ive lost my money as that wont happen. What a prick.

You lost me at "veggie"
 
He's gone....
Handed his two weeks notice in yeaterday and this morning was told not to bother with the two weeks......

He'd actually calmed down "a little bit" since this thread started (with me anyway although that maybe has more to do with me ignoring him as much as possible) but continued to rub others up the wrong way.

I'm off today so getting the info from a colleague via text. Apparently he told one member of staff who tolerated him, that "its clear I'm not liked here so I'm not staying".

On the whole we are a very welcoming bunch but he just came in like a tornado with his opinions on everything and anything - work related and non work related rather than just joining the company and blending in smoothly, sounding people out before picking certain topics to mouth off about....

Leaves us short staffed but we'll get by......
