Yup, I've experienced the insults of reprobate rejects many times. Even in this forum you'll find those who tell you that you can't share the gospel with others because "Boss Wo-man says so.". ..or whatever....makes no difference to me. They can go back to their United Cathoholic Blue Haired Lezbyterian church and soak their own heads in the baptistry and see how long they can hold their breath.
It makes no difference to me. I've got work to do and people to get saved when not on the clock.
So, I'm guessing that the two guys you mentioned are the only ones on the job?
I can give a few tips, but need more details.

I can give a few tips, but need more details.
1. Address their behavior on a professional level
2. If 1 doesn't work. Report it as harassment.
3. Find a new job
4. Pray and treat their harassment with kindness. Sometimes being kind may stop their harassment.
5. Keep a journal with date, time, and witnesses. Document every incident. Try not to give them any ammunition. This gives you something to use for option two.

I wish it were that easy. A new job it would be because Management partakes in such behavior and is right there watching being just as verbally abusive and crude at times as those under them. Most have quit because of this company culture. But it’s also a career culture. Hard to report behavior they learn from their boss. They only see complaints of harassment as having thin skin and then you get the “hurt feelers” report laid on you.

They are two of the noisiest. Make most of the trouble. I like a challenge. I’m of a mind that if I Take the hardest most boisterous ones on the rest may follow. It’s like a herd mentality thing, these two start in and the rest join in from the sidelines. They all really range from unbelieving, anti God, one very anti evangelism so much so as a Forman immediate boss came up to me when I began wearing my faith on my sleeve and made the statement
“you’re not going to be one of those annoying Christians that goes around telling everyone about God are you? If so we’re going to have a problem” then points to a car and says “this is my god” I was speechless. Clear intimidation tactic immediately from this boss of mine

Ok, thank you.
I appreciate your compassion for the lost coworkers. Everyone needs the gospel. It's rare when anyone is willing and courageous enough to share Christ though.
Everyone is different.
I don't know if these guys actually hate God or if they are simply wicked. I've worked with guys who threatened to rape my family and were full blown reprobates. I have no patience for them. If your coworkers make those type of statements about violence towards you, yours, or others, I'd report it to the owner right away and also follow up by making a formal written dated statement. If they are trying to get under your skin, that is often the attitude of nominal religionists who gang up, thinking they are asserting themselves like a dog marking a tree. Again, I wouldn't lose sleep over them, but take it to the Lord as a serious matter and you still might want to take it to the owner.
I have seen really wicked people get saved, like outlaw bikers, but it's not common. Usually God has to hurt them real bad so the only place to look for help is up. The typical worldly person usually doesn't want to hear about anything that might point to their sins, so they mock the messenger. You could pray for God to show them their mortality and give you an opportunity to share the gospel at a time when their heart is tender. That sometimes happens, but you will likely be most effective and good at it if you are already witnessing with friends from church. If you are not attending a soul winning church, then I encourage you to find one within driving distance. Make sure they have the right gospel on their website and pastor explains it clearly of course. Ask what time of the week they go soul winning and if they have someone else you can go with. The following should ideally be done in pairs, one being the silent partner and the other leading. Once you feel comfortable, then normally you take turns. It's the best way to get the gospel to many in my opinion. Don't worry about the fake "Christians", JWs and Mormons giving it a bad name. Jesus addressed those who did, yet still told His disciples to go. . The New Testament Believers were soul winners and the fundamental Baptists go soul winning. I haven't seen other evangelicals do it lately although there's the push to get the lost to church. That's not enough. My last was an evangelical non-denominational church, but the pastor's weren't open to soulwinning or starting an outreach ministry even though it was following an Andy Stanley mega church format.. When the pastor preached against using the word Saved, because it might make someone feel uncomfortable or lost, I took that as a reason to go.
There Are all kinds of places of outreach, but it helps to find a like minded pastor. Let me know if I can be of help . I have lots of very good material on the subject. Perhaps a list of churches in your area that you can look into if you like.
Soul Winning demonstration.
Example #1
Example #2
The guys at work might not want to hear the Word. Then again, they might be open to an interesting Bible story on occasion. . It might not lead them to the Lord, but at least plant seed . They probably won't be very familiar, but everyone likes a good story. If they don't like that, no big deal, just memorize verses and look forward to weekly soul winning times where you meet and go out from
church.
I first read about that kind of thing when I saw an article on Kayne West. At his church apparently there is no preaching.
They seem to think that they can name the name of Jesus (which is really another Jesus) and carry on their worldly life. Obviously they believe in once saved always saved. But clearly there is no fruit meet for repentance.
Matthew 3:8 KJV
Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:

Fruit?
Who's saying that Kanye, oops, Ye ever was saved?
Kanye is THE most Humble Man in Recent History!
Yes, been there, done that.
Also I was the only female in my workplace that wore a skirt,
(at the job interview I was told to wear trousers, and said that I didn’t have any and preferred not to wear trousers)
After about 5 years, the Boss/store manager asked me if I could convince the other female staff to wear skirts.
The end of the story is, I became the female manager of the store.
God actually took away all of the mockers.
Just be the Christian.
When we all had to wear the football badge for the grand final season, I was still very new to the store and not given an option, so I pinned it to my shoulder. Immediately the next customer said what’s that, I said I didn’t follow the football, customer said then why are you wearing it.
(God can use strangers)
Immediately I strangely began to feel nauseous.
My tea break came, and I straight away asked to be excused from wearing the football badge.
End of that story was, a few days later I caught two thief/customers who actually got the till/register open and almost got away with hundreds but then they saw me watching.
The boss congratulated me in front of the other staff.

Yea I been doing that whole silent thing for years. It’s not working. They would even call me “Christian” and joke prior to my conversion because of my vague sense of morality by not engaging conversation with them. If I ignore they lay it on heavier. I simply wind up being temped, after so much of it my mind begins to be polluted by their perverse thoughts. There is nowhere to run I’ve went through 4 sets of ear speakers simply wearing them 9hour days. I’ve had them invade my workspace. Literally seek me out to to tell me these filthy things or tell filthy jokes in front of me while I’m working, loud enough for a whole building to hear. I even had Satan use one individual to tempt me. It was entirely too coincidental to be anything else. Some 22 year old kid shows up with a coffee mug with women models on it. Vintage cup. Had to be something from the 1980s. Something that should have been long gone, thrown away in a landfill somewhere. It wasn’t enough he was drinking from it . Ow no, he wanted to come to me and make it a point to show me what a cool cup he got, literally waving it in the face of a guy who struggles with lust. I mean, are you kidding me? This kid also convinced he was saved, was Pentecostal and claims at the same time his wife uses Chakras and crystals. Satan was using that young man to harass me and had him deceived.
