Work Situation

My work situation has gotten worse. My two coworkers one of them is my first Bully from 32 years ago and he still works with me and the other is a lady that's a coworker of mine who wants my job and they're talking to my boss that I wear earplugs. I wear them and a wear one now because they were complaining trying lost that the only way they could communicate with email and they said they tried talking to whole conversations and and that's the only way I keep part of my sanity is wearing the ear plugs so I was telling them that constantly slamming things and that's why I can't deal with it because my noises my ears are so sensitive and then when I got back together from the phone meeting with my boss to get worse they cool down for like an hour and then they start increasing the noise in the office and causing more so if you have the full support of my office and my manager and supervisor I know they want to break me at work I was having a really hard time dealing with these people but I know if I do anything that makes me lose my cool than that's it. I just wish some days that I don't even have to wake up anymore or I could just hide under the blankets and not deal with anything it's getting too hard and I know that I have to meet with my boss and tell her more because I told her today that they were bullying me and harassing me and she wanted more proof of it.

I cannot tolerate the behavior you are dealing with. People can be cruel. Some love to prey on others and what that means is they have some deep stuff going on that they should be working on.

You get a couple of these people together and they go to town feeding off each other and causing tension.

These coworkers are causing you pain and damaging you and I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.

My therapist suggested I wear earplugs when I'm at my desk at work. One thing that drives me up a wall is drama. My office is full of it and I just want to do my work and not listen to it. I don't use them but I see why you need to.

It's not you Gigi and I'm sorry they are hurting you. Some people seem to never get beyond high school emotionally.

Please recognize your heart and soul are good. Theirs is not

Hi Dolphin,, I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through at work I know it's hard that was my boss because they had complained about me wearing ear plugs I told them that I could hear them cuz they mainly talk to themselves only and they don't include me in anything and I said that I'm really sensitive because toward me is very negative and I talk to her privately good because I know how she feels for them and she supports them and I told her what's happened with me and my first bully and harasser from all very beginning of my career and she said we do not tolerate that behavior but back to the office half an hour later they became more aggressive and continued filing on for the rest of the day I know they're trying to break me but I won't let that happen I'm trying my best to stay strong. I know my female coworker wants to break me because she wants my job. Her behavior is becoming more aggressive. I hope things will get better for you at work too. Sending you warm hug and support for you your buddy, G💕💕

Oh Gigi :(

This boss seems to be telling you the " right" things per management but doesn't seem to be following through.

I know you are strong. You are showing great strength. I imagine some days are harder than others. Try not to let things accumulate inside you. Talk to your sister or a friend or come here and let those feeling out.

Thank you for your kind words. My situation isn't as serious as yours, I'm just trying to shut out drama. It's not anything pointed in my direction it's just not professional or mature.

Sending love

❤️❤️

I have been bullied at work too and it sucks doesn't it. My advice (unless you already do this) is to keep notes of the bullying. State the date, time, who was doing it, what the bullying was, and most importantly how it made you feel.

Bullying in the workplace is against the law. Good luck.
