I've posted on here various topics that I'm looking for a new job and have had interviews and I appreciate all your help and advice.
So why am I looking? Really bad and evil people at my current place.
Here's the situation - i got on a project with guys who are the biggest sexist, homophobic pigs I've ever worked with in my life. They have their own clique. They play straight with you in your face, but when they go on their smoke breaks or lunches, they are the biggest sexist and homophogic evil people I've encountered.
How do I play into this? Well they asked me to do some pretty lousy things to another coworker. Something very offensive that I really don't want to get into the details. I did not do what they wanted to do to this person, I refused to.
Instead I went to HR. HR contacted them and guess what, they have/had been looking now to get rid of me. They loathe me now. I am just a regular guy trying to do my regular job and make it home to my wife and kids by the end of the day. I"m not the guy who wants to play games or plan some revenge strategy on someone. I don't have the skills to fight them at their game because I've never played this game before and don't want to play their game.
These people are so spiteful and hateful against anyone that doesn't go their way they don't care if you have a family or anything , they just try to get you fired. They spread lies, gossip, make up fake emails, etc...
So how do you deal with these type of people? I'm pretty sure I'm going to be leaving soon and pick one of my offers, but afraid wherever I end up, I'm going to run into these type of people somewhere.
I feel going to HR was the right decision but at the same time the wrong one. HR needs evidence and all I had was my word against theirs. So HR could not do anything.
Any advice?
