How do I ruin a persons reputation or at least inconvenience them?

Long time lurker but first time poster, so please be gentle.


I have an issue with a person at my work who believes that I was responsible for telling management that he was having an affair with someone in HR. I wasn't responsible but between him and his HR "friend" they have been making my work life a misery. Their pettiness included calling the union on me at least once a month. I am a non-union employee, however they are union, and they can call their union as often as they like. These union meetings take up and hour or so of my day and I usually have to "explain" and defend myself against false claims from these two employees. It is not acknowledge but well known that if the union persistently asks for me to be fired or re-assigned then most supervisors will eventually cave to their demands and fire me or move me somewhere where I will be forced into resigning.

I recently made a complaint against these two to the Head of HR in our New York office, in an attempt to bypass HR here and get these two to stop the harassment. I today received a copy of the report the Head HR guy did and although I was vindicated in part I was also annoyed that these two lovebirds received nothing more than a minor reprimand. I was, however, interested to note that for some reason I received a copy of the report that included the HR file on my male colleague. The HR file included his full Social Security Number, name and date of birth as well as some other info like home address etc.

My question to the bombshock community is what should I do to him, with this information, that will soil his reputation or at very least make his life that little more difficult. I am not interested in trying to get a credit card in his name and buying a bunch of crap on her credit. What I am interested in is ideas with things that I can do that will cause him to lose her job or lose credibility. He is a licensed professional and I could report him to his governing body or the organization that issues his license. Do you have any other similar ideas. Maybe there is a website that I can turn him in for tax cheating or insurance fraud or similar.

Any ideas appreciated.

i dont know much of the legal side that pertains to the issue, but i would think you could file charges against the lovebirds for harrassment or at least lying to the union about u. once again, i dont know many legalities of these kind of situations but that would be the sensible thing. u could claim that they are occupying time that you could be making money with by calling the union on a nonunion worker with false statements and attacks.

or...here's my favorite part. u could bring a camera and somehow (assuming they are partaking in the affair at work) take a picture or pictures of them NOT WORKING and show ur HR or whatever (boss i guess? idk what hr means). this would work too. they would loose both their jobs and reputations. idk if this will work because it depends on ur situation and i dont have much life experience but thats what i would do. do maximum damage with the smallest effort. plus, if u go any further and were caught, then u could be the one in trouble.

i hope this helps

"HR" means "Human Rescources"
They control scheduals, shifts, worker reviews, and often payroll.

If you want to stop this crap, you need to get ahold of the distric leadership or talk to someone above them - like the head of HR. In most companies, HR employees are restricted from dating other employees due to teh obvious nepatism issues.

Trying to go outside the system will only get you a higher spot on their hit list. You don't need to ruin their reputations to make it stop, you just need to alert one of their bosses to what's going on.

Pertaining story:
Back in the day, I worked retail. I headed a department, and part of my job was to unload boxes of my department's merchandise from incoming trucks. The head of logistics didn't like me very much, so she made it a point to tell the assistant managers that I wasn't pulling my weight in the back room.

One day, I heard her telling one of the assistant managers I wasn't separating the items by section, "Because he (I) isn't going to be here to unload the carts, so he (I) doesn't care how they're separated." Having heard this, I did exactly what I'm telling you to do - I sheduled a meeting with the store manager requiring that both of them be there.

In the meeting, I pointed out that the logistics manager hadn't talked to me about the perceived issue before speaking to the management (which is against company policy); secondly, I noted that since I am the only person in my department that stocks items, I would be unloading the carts the next day anyway (making her reasoning invalid); and third, I noted that I have always loaded carts with items based on size rather than section because it saves me the mess of flipping deep carts to unload small items and allows a larger cart to be quickly brought back after unloading a few big items (overall increasing efficiency).

As a result of that meeting, the assistant manager involved transferred to a different store, at the manager's request. The logistics head just got a black mark on her record, but she made it a point to avoid me from then on. Most importantly, the manager decided that it was nobody's business but mine how I loaded my carts.

The point: bullies need to be pushed back. When you show them that you are going to bring a level of damage that they can't control and can't top, they back down.

This doesn't really fit into this area of the forum. There used to be a revenge section, though unfortunately it was closed down. Check out some books by George Hayduke if you need inspiration.
