Ex-employee at my office is now stalking us...

[Lola]

We are a small office, we have 4 of us ladies working here and one man; my aunt and uncle are the owners and there are 3 employees.

We hired a guy to work part time a few months ago even after the fact that the office next to us had worked with him and told my boss he was bad news.

I and my co-worker knew he was bad news the day he started. (you just kinda get that weird feeling)

Anyways, he was canceling policies on purpose and would not do anything... literally. He made snide and very crude sexual comments to me as well as many customers.
My aunt finally came to the realization that he was not working out and fired him.

The day after he was let go, he started sending e-mails to my aunt that were incoherent and out of line.
This went on for a few weeks.

Now, people in our office complex have seen him around the building a lot, even after he was fired.
I am worried about what he is gonna do next.
What actions, if any, do you think we should take? Or are we just blowing this outta proportion?

What the hell does that sentence mean?

cops, now.

Keep a sawed off shotgun behind the counter Seriously, if you see him, call the cops and explain the situation (rather, have the employer do so). Don't take any chances with some whackjob.

Fixed the quote...

But I'd definitely call the cops and save the emails. Harassment and threats are illegal. Also get a restraining order against the guy if nothing else...

What makes you think he is stalking? Is your parking lot only to serve your business? Or do you work in a large business park? He might be there for other business.

have him cited for trespassing and if he returns he can be arrested. You can also turn over any emails or messages he may have left to substantiate a case for harrassment or stalking.

What is really weird is that when I read the OP sentence, I read it as EVEN and did not know what notfred was talking about!

It was not until you fixed it that I realized the OP typed EVER...

our parking lot serves for us (an insurance co.) another insurance agency, a dance studio, a hair salon, and a ladies workout place... none of which would be any use to him.

The thing is, he does not live that close. he would not be using any of the other businesses in our location.

creepy guy call the cops just so that they know whats going on so if further action is needed theyll already have the heads up

 

[booger711]

sounds like it's all women working in that area...pics?

in all seriousness, maybe talk to the owners of those other places and file a joint complaint?

On the bright side the emails are hilarious, bordering on Wducknuts

Ehhh i don't think you'll be able to get anything along the lines of a restraining order. Not yet, at least. Best bet: confront him directly, preferably with a male companion, and ask him exactly what his "deal" is? If you're feeling like a samaritan, you can give him numbers of contract agencies or other businesses with open positions. Cowering in fear and letting him roam around near the facility is NOT going to make him go away. He won't get bored. If anything, lack of retaliation will make him bolder. Take steps, and remember, if worst comes to worst, the cops will be on your side.

Why did you guys hire him in the first place? And what kind of strict interview process do you have that let this exemplary individual through?

He might be looking for a job since he liked the location. BTW, until he did something, you couldn't do anything really since the parking lot cater to mult. businesses in the area.
