Am I overreacting by making this situation "my hill to die on"?
As in, I am willing to risk my job pursuing this if it gets worse. My coworker is in his 70s and is sexist. Will always call my male boss up when I am also a manager and it’s a problem I know for a fact I could deal with. He goes so far as to say “just wait until xxxx gets here” if my boss is coming in later.
He does it to all the women in the store. I am not willing to put up with it. I work too hard to let some asshole treat me like that, and also a big part of my job as the level of management I am, I am supposed to be the one to handle most issues because the bosses above me are supposed to deal with other things.
I talked to said boss, got told “that’s just how he is.” and if it continues I want to go to HR.
I don’t work with him all the time, but enough that it’s annoying and pisses me off. I want to say something to him directly, and this may sound immature, but I struggle finding a way to confront him without letting my emotions come through. It is a very touchy situation for me because I hate that it makes me feel less than an human.
