Work Explosion - So anxious now

Okay, so... I was right to be totally anxious about work today. It started off okay, and I actually thought that things were going well.

Well, when it came time for my first break, I asked the girl who was mean to me last time, if she minded if I took a break.

Well, in a rather rude way, she said "I don't care". I felt really bad after that but tried telling myself maybe she's just stressed right now.

Well, as the day went on, she was super nice to the other guy working, and the girl who came in at 12.

But whenever I would ask her a question, she would be really short with me and act as if she hated me and was pissed at me.

Then, she was talking about me with the other girl. I heard my name mentioned a few times, and they were looking at me. I know they might have been talking about something else, but it sure seemed like they weren't happy with me.

Well, I called my mom because on the way home and when I got home, I was in tears. My mom told me it was NOT okay to be crying over work like this and that I had to address it with my boss.

So, I called my boss and she said that she was glad I told her, and I explained it all to her, and didn't make it seem like the girl was bad at all, and that I did like working with her before, but now it seems like she doesn't like me for some reason.

So, she said she would call her tomorrow and then see how it goes. If we really need to, we will sit down and talk about it.

Also, my mom pointed out that I must have been doing an okay job because when I told my boss about this, and that i thought I was doing an okay job, she didn't say anything negative about me.

I"m super nervous now, though, however, because she's going to call her while she is at work WITH ME. I'm terrified! She's going to be angry someone told on her and then she's going to confront me about it. It's going to be a horrible day tomorrow. I don't know what to do...

I"m a mess right now. Dx

I'm sorry that you're in this situation, it sucks I am in a very similar situation at work except it's my boss that is acting that way towards me. She even suggested last week that she thought I smoked pot! I was told to call head office to complain but she would know it was me and would make working there even worse.
I really hope tomorrow goes better than you expect (hugs)

Aww, that's never good. She is, technically, one of my bosses. She's a supervisor, when the head boss isn't there. So in a way, it's a pretty similar situation. But hopefully, it won't explode into anything bad tomorrow and it will be okay, and work will be okay tomorrow... And then maybe, my boss will realize it's not a good pairing and she won't put us together to work anymore? I hope so, at least. I really don't want anything to do with her anymore, unless she is nicer to me.

Thank you. <3

It's good u told ur boss and I hope the negativity doesn't happen again.

Glad you're communicating with the boss.

Keep us posted. I'll be anxious to hear what happens next.

I don't think my boss even called her today... She was nicer to me this morning, but then turned into a total B**** this afternoon. I don't know. I thought by her behavior that she might have but I don't think she did... And my boss hasn't called me at all, to talk to me about the situation. So I don't know what's going on.

Let it play out and improvise as you deem fit, as you go along. It might not be as what anxiety is telling you.

As a manager myself, I would be unethical if I were to tell one employee what actions I took with another. That's confidential information, and could be why your manager didn't follow up with you. Try not to worry too much about it......it's just the way things have to be done.

She told me she did talk to her. She didn't say what she said, she just said she talked to her. She said that the girl felt "badly" about making me feel that way (which I totally don't believe because if she did, she should have apologized to me and the way she treats me makes it obvious she doesn't like me). My boss told me too that she said that I 'need direction" still and need to be told what to do, which is frustrating.

This is NOT the case at all. I work really hard and keep myself busy. I only ask if something needs to be done when I have finished everything I know needs to be done. I'm still new, so there are still things I don't know that need to be done.

Everytime they tell me to do something, I'm in the middle of trying to think of what else needs to be done. They just keep catching me at the worst times. Dx And I do more than the others anyways. So she has no right to say that. I'm just not doing things fast enough for her liking.

My boss did say, however, that I am an asset to our team and that I'm doing a great job so far. So, that's good.

Before I was fired, my manager was talking to a few co-workers about me. She was quizzing them about my work, and not just the ones who were in positions to know because they were training me. She was talking to people who were at the same level as me (non-supervisors).

After I was fired, one of these co-workers told me she knew several weeks before I got fired that it was going to happen. My manager would pull her into her office and ask this friend how she thought I was doing.

So after I was fired, this girl was pretty much acting like "Told you so!" by telling me she knew the decision had been made for me to be fired before it happened.

I knew it was going to happen. I could feel it. Still, it's nto professional for a manager to be talking about another employee all over the place.

Work politics and catty girls/women are in every job. I hate stupid mind games like that.

My advice is just keep your head down and get your work done. I know people always catch you right when you finish one task and before you start the next. That happens to me all the time! It's annoying.

Purple, that's horrible! They shouldn't do that. It's horrible. At least you were expecting it. It's still not good, though. D:

And yes, I had someone like this at my last job, so I"m used to it. But this is worse... And they totally do! I told my boss this and she understands now and is going to remind her that everyone processes things differently. So hopefully it will be okay now.
