Today a colleague was rude to me for no reason and called me some unpleasant stuff

Should I inform my superior or would that just make me a cry baby? It wasn't exactly a slur or a cuss word but it was a derogatory phrase.

let the first one pass as a mistake - but note the date/time and anyone that may have heard it

on the 2nd occurrence - tell them plainly you find it offensive and inform your supervisor - advising that this is the 2nd offense.

in many countries your employer has the obligation to provide a workplace free of hostility.

@Pretzel good advice.

@Pretzel I was thinking of letting it pass too. But he said it in front of someone who is supposed to take orders from me. And that person realized that they could also get away with being rude to me. Because I'm soft spoken people think they can walk all over me. And that bothers me. They think being soft spoken = being scared/inconfident.

@turningthekeys Report it.
