Hi Peppermint Patty,

Having been a manager, and in the middle of employee disputes, I suspect you are right that your co-worker(s) have turned against you for some (maybe petty) reasons, but it sounds like you have learned a lesson in interpersonal communication. No law was broken right?

At best, you should mediate to be moved, even if it requires some training. Swear you've learned a lesson and that you're willing to do anything to show your commitment to the organization. Chalk it up as experience and move on as a wiser woman. If there isn't a potential for reassignment, get mediation done between you and your immediate co-workers to resolve the issue--just enough that you can be civilized 8 hours a day. Prove you can be professional and start job hunting.

I do hope the issue blows over for you. It is a painful experience.
