Record record record. Send copy to HR, his manager, and project leadership.

1) Count to 10 in my head to avoid cussing him and his entire lineage out.
2) After he finishes acting a fool, let him know as long as he is male and living that he is never to address me like that again.
3) Proceed to inform his manager, HR, and whoever else I deem necessary on the project.
4) Add him to the “dead to me” column in my mental spreadsheet of co-workers.

Ah...the eerily calm response. There’s a good chance he might experience a tragic workplace accident at some point in the near future

The same thing he would do if it was you yelling at him.

Let him rant, then calmly tell him he is out of line and he is being totally unprofessional, you don’t feel comfortable and need to involve HR (per PwC guidance).. Being unprofessional in return isn’t the answer

Definitely a case for HR. Whether there’s a record or not. And whether you let him know it’s not ok or not.

Hey ladies!
Curious how you would handle this. I got someone close to me a director role at my company. I pulled alot of strings to make this happen. I’m on my way out and would love an opportunity at her current company but the best they can do is tell me to apply and see how that goes. How would you process this? Is it business as usual or you’d feel hurt. I go hard for my loved ones but when it comes to me it’s… meh you’re on your own and good luck!
