I've been with my new job at the hospital for nearly a month now. I work in the facilities department, which is technically, maintenance. I work with all guys and there's my supervisor, the department coordinator who is a middle-aged female. The department director is a man and all the maintenance techs are men, besides one woman, who's the courier.
Anyway, I'm the department secretary and I have my own office. Unfortunately, the staff coffee pot sits in my office next to the main fax machine. Everyone in the department comes by, gets a cup of coffee, talks for a few minutes, and goes about their business. BUT the issue I have is with someone who doesn't even work in our department, who CONSTANTLY comes by and hangs out at the coffee pot for at least 15 minutes, multiple times a day. He will not leave me alone. It's starting to get creepy. This guy is really annoying and tries waaaaay too hard. I have a freaking boyfriend for goodness sake! He follows me around the hospital, it's like he pops out of nowhere, when he knows it's time for me to go to lunch. He constantly bugs me with stupid s*it. He leaves annoying notes at my computer and goes through my things when Iam not there (which has stopped, because my supervisor caught him.) That's what really set me off. I've tried everything I know, in a nice way, to tell him to scram, but I'm out of options and now he's forced me to be nasty about it.
Today he opened the door, stood there and just stared at me. I snapped "Do you need something?" and he said "No" so I said "Then please close the door" and he just gave me a dirty look and stormed out. I told my supervisor that he's left me no choice, that I'm going to have to be firm about it. The only way I know how to be firm, is being a b*tch and that is saying "You need to p*ss off because I'm not interested." However, that's not the best option because I try to get along with everyone and I don't want to be known as the office witch and trouble maker. The supervisor has even warned him once about hanging out in our department and bothering me and the electrician, because he's a got a job of his own to do. My supervisor told me that I could feel free to say whatever I wanted, but it continued, she would have to take over the situation. I honestly do not think he should even be coming by our office, except for delivering & picking up the mail, that's his job and that's all he should be in there for.
Any suggestions on how to handle this?
