Okay, so I work in a call center and our seating is in rows. The person who sits next to me is super negative. I hate the job as much as anyone could hate it but I try to trudge through the day, do what I have to do, and get the job done right.
This guy is constantly putting other people (and the company) down, making juvenile remarks, will say something to me and when I turn to him and ask him what he said (because I was busy on a call) he'll say "what, what" and then do his "imitation" of a deaf person. He also has an "imitation" of a Jewish person -- and I've asked him to stop on more than one occassion because it comes off as being anti-semitic and it's NOT funny.
He and I used to be friendly but, as time goes on, he just gets worse and worse. This is a grown man we're talking about, not a 20-something 'kid'. I can't request that he or I be moved because there is absolutely nowhere else to put either of us. I can't even avoid him since we sit within a foot of one another and there is no wall blocking us.
I was in the same situation awhile ago at a previous job. I know it's tough but unfortunately you have to deal with negative Nancy's at a call center. I just became so frustrated with my co worker one day that when I was done with my shift I told her if she hated everything so much that she should quit and move on with her life and I left. After that she wouldn't come close to me.
Was that the best way to handle the situation? No I admit it wasn't however it did eliminate the problem.

Any suggestion????
Thanks.
I have exceptional hearing; however, if you asked any of my past co-workers, they would tell you I'm hard of hearing.
Hes probably mad that he works at a call center. Ignore him..
