Hi to all. I have just graduated from college last May and now have a job in a large chemical plant. We are changing some electronic equipment out in which a contractor was brought in to help out. I am new at this job and just learning how to do it. The contractor is good at what he does, but is very rude and a jerk to me. He told me I had put too much tape on the end of the communication cables and it looked like ****. I did not think it looked that bad at all. Also he told me I am too slow and need to hurry up. If he told me how to do something before a few times he gets mad and lets me know he had told me before. His excuse for being a jerk is that he is from the North East states. He is in a big rush for nothing. I had a talk with my supervisor about this person and he talked with him about being more patient. I have told this contractor that I do better when he is not *****ing at me, but he just tells me that it is the way he is being from the East. I told him that this is not the Eastern USA. I am about ready to tell him off. Should I just ignore him? It is hard to ignore a person when you have to work with them. Some advice about this please. My company supervisor and coworkers think I am coming along fine in my learning process. Thank you all for your advice.
