Advise on my difficulties at work; TLDR included

Greetings! I was recently hired at a clinic and am facing difficulties. I am unsure of how to proceed, as it may cause the problem to get worse, or to put in a two weeks notice. I also want to state that the field I am in and am currently studying has very few job openings for entry-level positions. About three weeks into my new employment, I started walking on ice. A senior coworker openly expresses dislike towards me specifically. From my perspective, she views me as a nuisance and not a coworker. Three months later, the issue still occurs but now she gossips behind my back when I am around the corner. This is the first issue I have. I have tolerated it for three months since I have learned to never speak to her unless it is absolutely necessary. The first time she expressed her dislike to me,…


Greetings!

I was recently hired at a clinic and am facing difficulties. I am unsure of how to proceed, as it may cause the problem to get worse, or to put in a two weeks notice. I also want to state that the field I am in and am currently studying has very few job openings for entry-level positions.

About three weeks into my new employment, I started walking on ice. A senior coworker openly expresses dislike towards me specifically. From my perspective, she views me as a nuisance and not a coworker. Three months later, the issue still occurs but now she gossips behind my back when I am around the corner. This is the first issue I have. I have tolerated it for three months since I have learned to never speak to her unless it is absolutely necessary. The first time she expressed her dislike to me, I cried on my way home (~a month in since working there).

The second issue occurred today, and I have never experienced a situation like this before. I had a client that gave my coworkers discomfort after his visit and spoke to management about the issue. In this week's email that goes to every person employed at the clinic, I was targeted and criticized for my mistakes with that client. My name was not addressed in the email, but everyone at the clinic knew he was my client. I have never cried for so long in my life before. If I continue working at the clinic that has amazing learning opportunities, I will be now walking on a thin layer of ice each day.

TLDR: Mild workplace bullying for three months now. Was criticized for my mistakes with a specific client in a mass email sent to everyone at the clinic.
