Re: Formal complaint against [Name of Other Employee]
Dear [Recipient’s Name],
It is with great reluctance that I write this letter. [name of other employees] and I have been having some difficulties at work that, despite our best efforts, we have not resolved ourselves. I feel it is time to take the next step and file a formal complaint.
On [date], [name of another employee] and I was working on [project] together. We had been discussing the possibility of using [method] to complete the project when [another employee’s name] became very agitated and said that was the stupidest thing he had ever heard. I was surprised and offended by his outburst and asked him to calm down and explain why he felt that way. Instead of calming down, [another employee’s name] became even more agitated and started yelling at me. I asked him to leave my office to cool down, but he refused. He only left when our boss came in and told him to go.
This is not the first time that This has happened. On [date], [name of other employees] made a similar outburst during a staff meeting. At that time, he said that my ideas were ‘ retarded’ and that I was an ‘ idiot’. I spoke to him after the meeting and asked him not to speak to me that way again. He apologized but came into my office the next day and said I needed to ‘ lighten up and stop being so ‘sensitive’.
This kind of behavior is unprofessional and unacceptable and needs to stop. I am asking you to please take appropriate action to ensure that [name of other employees] treats me and others with respect in the future.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
[Your Name or Signature]
