Do you have a colleague or a classmate who you make fun of with everyone else?

[ThisDudeHere]

I have a colleague who's really weird and the rest of us make jokes at his expense all the time (behind his back, of course).

Yes I have such a person at work/school and we make fun of him.

No, I have such a person at work/school and we do not make fun of him.

Yes I have such a person at work/school but we do not make fun of him.

Other/ results.

I've worked with some interesting people, but I have never, ever made fun of anyone behind their back. I have not, and refuse to take part in that kind of negative workplace culture. People get reprimanded and fired for bullying and harassment of co-workers here. It's not worth it to partake in such behaviour.

I've been the butt of jokes before in a workplace, in a SCHOOL for that matter, by my fellow teachers behind my back. I found out by accident when I was in a bathroom stall and two other teachers came in and started making fun of me and making jokes about me - they didn't know I was there obviously. It was so deflating and disheartening, especially after spending months building my reputation and professional relationships to try and get a permanent position at that school. I recently looked one of those teachers up on our provincial registry, and it seems that her teaching license was revoked by the regulatory body after a disciplinary hearing for a similar situation at another school. I guess some people don't learn.

There is a difference between good natured ribbing and joking with the person going along with it, and plain old making fun of them for whatever reason. The difference is that you can comfortably say it to their face and know how they will react to it.

There’s a weird colleague in my team who purposefully acts weird and makes other teammates angry. It’s as if he gets a high while being reprimanded by someone.
So we used to make fun of him behind his back and recently people have started openly making fun of him.

Yeah, I’m probably that weird guy that they all laugh about with his Accounting and Units while the front guys and my partners F-around sale, find, and all the Glamour end.

I’m SURE I’m the guy you are speaking about….

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Nope. I was always the brunt of everyone's jokes. Now I don't care as an adult. If they do make fun of me, it's on them.

So you're basically bullying. Congrats on a being a low quality person. 🙄
