I try to look for other work. My qualifications are limited, I think. Ideally I should be working somewhere where I don't have to put up with verbally abusive customers but that seems to be the only places that quickly hire you. Go figure.
But these jobs that put me out of my comfort zone have helped me become stronger and more outgoing. I try to focus on the compliments and nice people I do interact with. Coworkers? Well these are meddling people that have nothing better to do than watch you and listen to you like a hawk, and I'm not talking about supervisors. Just regular coworkers in the same position I am. There was one time where I was particularly energetic and, even though I was speaking in an upbeat tone, I was talking with my hands. This one guy was like, "What's up with you? Were you getting mad with someone?" Some people will just go to the supervisors and make unfounded complaints on me. I think there is just too many people we have to work around (90 or more in one place.).
More recently, the day before, one of supervisors suddenly starts complaining about my speed when I talk. I've always sort of had a faster pace in speaking than some people, but not so fast that it's super noticeable. I've been using the same pace I always had while working here and all of a sudden it's considered unprofessional. This is after I've been really picking up my scores and I think there is a conspiracy to keep my talents and true skills from being noticed. Either way, it puts a lot of strain on me and makes me think that this is another one of those traits I have that this supervisor wants to change in me. Gawd, she reminds me of a cult leader.
