because you would not achieve much by doing what you plan to do. how would people think of you after you "rat him out" to HR with a tape recorder?
I'm going to assume you're doing labor-related job. If people don't like you because of what you did, don't you think maybe there might be a retaliation such as "work accident"?
you have a superintendent that you don't trust to resolve this situation. you have a coworker who is a jerk. and you have other coworkers who would not side with you. I don't know how can you work in such unfriendly environment like that. or is it just you that are unapproachable?
it's work politic. it can get ugly and it's not always about who is right or wrong. it's always about fitting in and if you're not in, you're out.
