Child bullys grow up and become adult bullys.

I always seem to go through this, I feel like it’s because I genuinely work hard and care, and others are threatened when I’m taken serious. So I deal with gaslighting and people collaborating. I’m over it, how can it be stopped when everyone is friends with each other. I am as polite as possible and this is considered having my kindness mistaken for weakness. It I’m quiet, I was told I’m don’t seem happy there. How do you find a balance? Just had someone in work literally gaslight me asking me if I had a problem like a child and said she heard me complaining how she works when I barely talked to anyone that morning, this was out of nowhere, it’s like you try to keep to yourself and either your too quiet, your unfriendly, your too friendly, you ask too many questions, your over sensitive.

I was harassed at work. I left after 3 months. Very Toxic work environment. When I put my 2weeks noticed in. My boss told me I wasn't in the right state of mind. I told her stop gaslighting me. I am absolutely sure I want to leave. She went to HR and her boss and I was told to leave 2 hrs. Before my shift ended. I never came back a no win win situation.

I am socially bullied at work I work at wholefoods in toronto . I had taken some time off during the pandemic I went back to work a month ago . I always wear my mask . It’s hard to wear this mask sometimes I get hot but I need to wear it some people wear a mask at work some people don’t . I suffer from anxiety attacks and work knows this . This particular person is loud and big and popular . I am a number 2 . Socially bullied .everyone likes her I hear her talk about other people she can be rude . I walked off the bus the other day and she walked off first she looked at me and didn’t say hi or good morning I have no idea what I did to her I am kind gentle and work hard . Unfortunately she is a Team leader which I do not know how she even got promoted . I am looking for another job remote or something else . Even when I see her in the store she dose the say hi or just says Hi very few times . She is so friendly with her staff I hear her laughing a lot with her co workers . One of her staff walked into my department and asked me if anyone is giving me a hard time, She is nice . I just said no . There is another woman in the cheese department who never says good morning to me even when she passes me I feel closed in I don’t deserve to be treated like this . Work is hard enough especially during a pandemic . Or endemic. Amd then there is another cashier for 2 years never said hi to me . When I first came back to work . She asked me why would I come back to work I never told HR about her . So yesterday I was checking out and having a anxiety attack and she never said hi she was cold with me . I feel so uncomfortable around her to . I was a little irritated with her . I come home and cry so much because I miss my friends that worked there before . They were light and fun and supportive and just nice to work with . My dream is to work with animals I have filled out a application form for the shelter close to me .I come home and cry because I can feel this weird energy around me with this bully to feel socially excluded or ignored is exhausting . This job is physically and emotionally exhausting sometimes I don’t get all my breaks . And I am so tired . I work very hard with No one saying thank you . I don’t even want to go back to work on Sunday . I’m so unhappy . When ever I see this particular girl I don’t say hi anymore . Fuck it . I am a kind person I work hard I am not the loudest person I’m quite but can read the room pretty well . I’m a supportive person to . I struggle with anxiety. So much and self esteem this job takes a lot out of me and I’m not getting any younger it’s scary . Over worked bullied . I’m getting so depressed I feel like i am being pushed out of a job

I reported harassment, bully, and Discrimination and they got rid of me. My items were getting defaced at work. Smh.. I feel so hurt and hopeless.

Yes my bully boss did false claims of mistakes in my work but did not show what specifically and critical boss bully puts me down toxic

[madanto]

Same happened to me i was told that I should go to the toilet before I leave the house.
If i am ever told that by another piece of filth my response would be to tell them would they tell a necrapheliac to defile a corpse before they leave the house.

[debbiebryant]

I've lived thru this for years with a bad neighbor and a bad work environment

[BetaBuxDelux]

I’m unhappy at work because they expect me to “work”. The bastards!

[benandjerrys]

Is it just me or do some people seem to get bullied in every/most workplaces they work in?

I seem to be a magnet for this and have no idea on how to break the cycle.

I also have childhood CPTSD and was bullied at school.

I'm 33 and I've basically given up and scared I'll never work again

Never had a career due to a decade of domestic abuse and single motherhood. Just did entry level jobs.

Any advice please?

If schools are able to eradicate bullying, I don't understand why it has to be so difficult in a workplace setting!
