@Mlutz-----mind if i ask what you do for work???
i would honestly ask them what it is that he thinks is so wrong about them that he "would take me down". find out what his train of taught regarding the whole thing is.
i used to work with a guy that hated me from day one. i mean we would scream and yell and swear at each other across the shop to the point that it nearly interfered with work. one day during lunch he was sitting in his truck and decided to approach him about it. turns out it was all a "misunderstanding". at the time i was a lot attendant, and he HATED lot attendants because they always got in his way. if they were washing a customers car, they wouldn't watch out for his work bay and spray water on cars that he was in the process of detailing, etc.etc..etc.. so he immediately treated me like every other lot attendant. after we talked, he actually stopped judging and started watching and realized that i was a good, hard and careful worker, and him and me ended up becoming friends.
who knows.......maybe you can change his mind. and if not......then let him "take you down", and he'll loose his job, and then you won't have a problem anymore. lol
