Today, I thought it will be a good day. I was wrong. I am tired of how people treat me miserably. Someone told me that because of my face that most of the time, I get bullied. I thought that when you reached a certain age that the bullying will just stop. Apparently, that is not the case. Bullying even happens at work place. Sometimes, people that were given a little bit of power become so abusive. I always asked myself why do I really care so much about work— especially when you are just doing your best and trying to do a good job so that it will be easier for everyone. It is frustrating that when I am giving 100% and nobody appreciate all the hard work I do. I am tired. My feelings were trampled by my inconsiderate co-workers and supervisors. I don’t really understand why it is so necessary to act so rude and demeaning. There are times that I just wanted to quit but because of economy and student loans, I just stayed and hope that I will get a better job. A lot of people will say that I should feel lucky that I have two-part time jobs. But, I think that it is not bad to ask for something better. I kept applying, hoping that some prospect employers will consider me. It is just sad that people who do a half-ass job could get away with everything and still get recognized. Sucks isn’t it?!

I thought the same way. I hated school with a passion because I was constantly bullied and victimized. I thought once I got out of that hell and went to work all this shit would stop. But I was wrong. There are still cliques, and assholes, and popularity contests going on. It does suck when you try all you can with work and you still don’t get the respect and understanding from your employer and colleagues.
But that I am afraid how life works. It’s a constant struggle. Don’t let those idiots discourage you from your efforts though.
Thank you deadotter for your encouraging words. I will just keep doing the best I can and when the day comes that I have to leave the company because of better employment opportunities, I will just smile and think that my skills will be utilized by some companies where I could have professional growth–and it will be difficult for them to find someone who will take all their crap.(Actually, this current job position I have— most of them quit all the time– that is why we are understaffed.)
Most welcome. I was in the same company for a good ten years. When it was new, it was the best place in the world to work, but once it got bigger and more people started joining, the office politics and cliques started. Good people started quitting(which is always a bad sign) but I stuck around a lot longer till I couldn’t take it anymore.
Heck when I left that company they wanted to come back but by then I was already living in a different state, plus seeing how it is now I made the best decision .Keep looking though.
I hope you find a place that can elevate your skills, the worse thing is to be stuck in that same position.
