Keep your head down and work hard, sure you are just washing lettuce but one day you will be on fries and then the grill, in a year or two you'll be assistant manager and thats when the big bucks start rolling in.

I’m a pharmacist at a chain pharmacy and about 5 months ago we hired a tech who talks excessively. It’s already a very loud environment but she makes it way worse. I can’t even think, hear, or concentrate. For example, she will answer the phone and after a conversation with a patient “hey that lady asked for you and she says he loves eating pie”. Just totally irrelevant bullshite. I really don’t want to make it an issue because she’s good at her job, is very friendly (too friendly ) and always shows up which is rare in This job.

If he is management, or related to a manager, you should first document all aggressions, including the names of witnesses. You should take pains to discuss these aggressions with the witnesses without telling them why. The purpose is to plant the memory.
After you have three or four egregious cases documented, you can do whatever you want. Demand the dick be fired, sue the company for mental anguish, tell the dick off, whatever.

Have an open and direct talk and call them out directly in a professional manner. If you are indeed being targeted then gather all info, and proof of targeting/bullying and get a top labor lawyer.
You trying to write a John Grisham novel or something? While this is the correct approach in theory, this guy is dealing with the owner’s son or nephew at what is presumably a small business. He just needs to find a new job if he doesn’t like the environment. Hiring a fricking lawyer isn’t going to help the situation

You're adults so...tell him to frick off?
Ive only been out of college/grad school for like 6 years now, but ive never been pulled aside ONCE for saying "You cant talk to person X like that, they are above you in the chain". In fact, i think my openness is what leads to me being sought out or called on by them. People dont like weak people. And most people confuse showing respect with showing weakness. I just say what i feel needs to be said.
So far this is batting 1.000 on success rate for me, personally.
The other thing is just being the type of person who is completely ok with dealing with the consequences. If i got fired for telling the bosses son to stop being a dick, i march my happy arse out of there, whistling dixie, and thank them for the opportunity to work there.

Best thing to do is always have another job in your back pocket. Gives you security, but it also may get you over-confident.

Really depends on a lot of variables such as the size of the company, available alternatives, your status/value within the company, relationships with others and your boss etc.
When I have to had deal with toxic people in prior jobs, I either just waited them out (i.e. they left, I got a new boss) or I left. Found toxic people don't care what you think because they're, well, toxic. They do respect force (not physical) if you can be strong and politely speak your mind, but that can have ramifications. I've found they're worms and will just wait to get back at you one day even if you politely have a private conversation with them.
Avoid them. Leave the job. Wait them out.
Good article.

Document everything with dates, time, location, who's around etc.
Take that information to HR. Let HR know you are in a hostile work environment, you're documenting it, and it is negatively impacting you.
If you really want to have shite in your favor if you believe a future lawsuit may be involved, get an appointment with your primary care physician and tell them you are experiencing anxiety and high stress due to that exact situation at work. The doc documents it in their files.
No you have 2 authorities that are testimony worthy regarding your situation if it comes to that.
You can parlay this in your favor bigly, because once you have all this documented and have told the right people, letting you go becomes a potential retaliatory firing, which also opens them up to a lawsuit.
It's a beautiful thing.

I saw this as a third party when I was just out of college. There is a good chance the owner knows his son/nephew is an entitled, lazy prick. And, unless the owner was himself once the owner's son/nephew, he's looking for opportunities to correct this behavior.

Find a new job.
If a company is going to tolerate that shite it's not worth working for them.
You'll constantly get shite on.
Find new job once this crap ends.

Has anyone said sleep with his wife? If not, sleep with his wife

Where does he bully you? email? phone? or at your desk? What I suggest is if it's at your desk, then buy one of those wyze cameras and stick a card in it and put it on your desk. Have it just record everything. Or even just a voice recorder.
The first thing you have to establish is are they really bullying you. I know it feels like that but sometimes feelings can lie. So a recording can help you listen and see if you're being weak or if dude is just a prick. You'd be surprised how many times people just take things the wrong way when they are in their feelings.
Next, compile the recordings and get you on record with their boss filing a formal complaint with HR if there is a HR. Then compile more but never let on that you're recording them. I assume LA is a one party consent state meaning as long as you are part of the conversation, you're ok.
Next, if the bullying increases or doesn't stop, I'd go see a lawyer and bring all your recordings, etc to him. If there is a case, dude will be salivating at it. If not, then there is always plan B which you could do anyway and that is look for another job.
