Still says it doesn't work...
I know that feeling all too well, secondary school and college, unfortunately I didn't have a way out, so my mind created 'safety procedures' to help me cope and survive that are still with me to this day, even though the situation has changed and I'm now in Uni, I still do the same things.Quote:

Sorry,don't know what happened, I am using Google Chrome,not my usual Firefox.
Think of it this way, Bella: you have a bright future -- places to go and things to do and lots to discover, while your coworkers are fated to stay right where they are in their own probably miserable little pond. If I were you, I would have a big smile on my face at work and let them wonder what there is to smile about. Now you can afford to be the bigger person and do like the Bible says: "Heap coals of fire on their heads."Quote:

You are right WG. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow. I am going to try and do the exact opposite of what I normally do. Seeing as I already feel like the Constansa of the work place, I may as well take his advice. So when I would normally get right bummed out, I am going to try and smile, think about this thread.Thanks for the link Ken.
By changing your own behavior, you have the power to change others' behavior. Try it tomorrow! See what happens.Quote:

Can't you feel a brand new day? :D
:D Thanks Cat. I almost gagged myself with a spoon :p but you are right, I'm going to go in there with a smile.

I love Yiddish, you can call people the foulest names and they get this clueless smile on their face.
Edit: You've heard the cure for stage fright - picture them in their underwear, right? My add is give them a wedgie.
That is a great line! :D
Yes it was accountants that had me down and out. They have the personalities of a wet mop. No offense to any accountants out there.
Plus it's tax season, so things are extra stressful.
So your out of the funk? Hope so.
You know what I think and feel and know everything will work its way out.
Cheers.
For now Jh. Trying to be optimistic.
Haha brilliant :DQuote:

The moment I walked in I went out back to the kitchen, and I could hear the other girls talking.
They were laughing and commenting on how one of the girls was leaving all her “dirty” work for me. They thought it was funny that they gave me a new list of staff phone numbers and asked if I could make a final copy and hand it out to the partners and other staff.
So I did on Friday. Monday I came here to find over 15 e-mails on how each person's phone number was wrong. They were off by like one number… I copied them exactly. One of the girls went into my bosses office, which is right next to mine, unfortunately I can hear everything, and told her it was sad that I couldn't even handle menial tasks like copy and paste and print.
That's what is getting my spirits down. I know I didn't mess those numbers up.
It's things like that, that bring me down. When I walk into a room, all talking stops. I know it's easy to say forget about them, but man, how much can a person take?
It sounds like you're being sabotaged. Keep copies of stuff, so you can prove you were set up.
Yes, not only that, but I filed these files, we do alphabetical filing. I went into the filing room and I found 6-7 "W" files put high up on a shelf, in the "Z" section, that no one ever uses. I filed them, went in there a few hours ago and the files were back there.
Yup. I feel your pain for real now. That is just out and out mean. Is there someone you can tell this to, at least for the record?Quote:

Also she said that starting in September they will be offering an Animal physiotherapy class, it would be 4 years right alongside the animal science and behavior classes, and the best part?? 6 months of the class is done online!

This sounds great. :)Quote:

Well one of them was FIRED today. And the there are 2 others, but they may get psoitions in a different office.
I want to say it's because they are young, but you know they are only a few years younger than I. I know it's not age, it's mantality. And they have a low one I guess. I am gald you guys are hear to vent to.
Maturity knows no age boundaries. Just ask the 12 year olds who want to date 19 year olds. :rolleyes: :)Quote:

Ok only 2 more months to go.
When is your last day?Quote:

Hi bella, sorry to hear about your day,
I agree with wondergirl that you should start keeping records so you can prove the underhandedness.
The calendar sounds like a fun idea :)
Although your boss might take it a bit personally
Ya, you are right bear. Maybe I will just mark it in my personal agenda.
I really want to contact the girl who filed the formal complaint with the labor board, she actually sued the company because of the harassment and the abuse she endured while she worked there.
I would be so paranoid, if I didn't know that they went through 5 people before I was hired. I was starting to think it was me. I was really feeling incompetent. It's still Hell being there...
That is a really good idea
Is there any way that you could contact her or them if that's the case, I'm not sure what you have access to but if you can legally access employment files about past emplyees then maybe you could find her.
Im going to throw in my 2 cents worth because it seems something keeps getting missed. If you feel you need or could use a therapist then you should seek one out now that has late day or evening appointments. Some even do Saturdays. It would be worth looking around for one.
Another thing is if there are women that are driving you insane at work I would suggest turning the heat up. Use tabasco sauce. If you put it on their chair and it dries then later when they are seated and begin to sweat they will have hot pants.. lol. Just don't faint laughing.
I don't know how I can go about doing it. I don't think I could look at employment records. But I may be able to do some fishing, maybe if I can find her name I can look her up on Facebook or something.
The court case should be public record. Try finding her name by looking up the Company's name in lawsuits.Quote:
