Crap! Good for your supervisor for having common sense and being supportive. It sounds like at least one of your co-workers is looking out for you - telling you about the one who went to the supervisor. There are crap people out there, but that doesn't apply to everyone, it's a matter of finding out who the crap ones are and not having too much to do with them. I hope this all blows over quickly. It's a shame it's a small office and you may have to talk to this person who said you might pass out at work.
