I hope this helps. Do you receive counseling? If you can afford it you might find it very helpful. It helped me to have my counselor listen and then provide ideas on how I could cope with what sounds like an environment very similar to yours.

There are some very disturbed people in business, and it is understandable, really; they have to support themselves, so they end up working at whatever places put up with their bad behavior.

I work with some very mean people. They also whisper, conspire, lie and do things (it would appear) just to upset others. I've been insulted to my face over and over, and literally right behind my back over and over.

I have decided it is better if I leave this place as soon as I can get another job. And I have tried as much as possible to stay out of these mean people's line of sight and drama-stirring. If they are going to whisper, it might be safest for you to ignore it. And don't hand any more notes to anyone.
