What would Dark Jordan say about a boss that constantly picks on his employee under the guise of ‘just joking around’

Jordan Harbinger has addressed workplace bullying and inappropriate joking before. He suggests that constant joking around, especially when it singles out an employee, can be disruptive and harmful. He recommends the following steps:

1. Confront the Issue Privately: Talk to the person in private and address the behavior calmly to understand their perspective and resolve the issue without making it a public confrontation 1.

2. Document the Behavior: Keep detailed records of the incidents, noting dates, times, and specifics of what happened. This documentation can be crucial if you need to escalate the issue to HR or higher management later 1.

3. Avoid Humor at Others' Expense: He advises against making jokes at others’ expense, especially in a workplace setting. Instead, he suggests self-deprecating humor to avoid offending others 2.

4. Grow Up and Be Professional: Harbinger stresses the importance of professionalism and considers such behaviors as immature and counterproductive, urging that such individuals may need to be removed from a team environment if they cannot improve 1.

In essence, documenting the behavior and having a private, calm conversation are crucial steps in addressing a boss who constantly picks on an employee under the guise of "just joking around."
