And don’t get me started on comments from my team leader such as “you were the one who decided to get a dog” when I asked to spend the 3 days I would typically be in the office at home to look after my 9 week old puppy while the wife was out of the country. And what about asking me what training I needed in regards to a complaint that was made because of a discrepancy on a change of signatory form we use. Form wrong, me need training?? I work for a bank on-boarding business customers. I work off a 2 day service level agreement to complete applications. I would typically have 30-40 there at once with the capacity to complete 10 per day if everything goes right (4-5 per day would be pushed back to branch due to errors or missing info). I currently have 132 applications…

I (25M) clean this office. The people who work at the office has begun to stare at me, a lot. There is this woman in particular who stares at me and she keeps staring me right into my eyeballs and doesn’t look away or smile, and before you ask, no she isn’t blind. Some of my coworkers, kitchen lady A service technician, and administrator is also doing this. I don’t talk much and keep to myself with the office “workers” I’ve tried being social but people either mock me or say that they “feel like I don’t want to be there” or that I am not interested in my job. My coworkers give me a feeling that they don’t want me to there anymore. My coworkers makes fun of my appearance calling me a woman because of my long hair. But whenever I make jokes they act offended even if…

So i just quit after 2 years of intense work and burnout, and am starting to feel like the entire time i went into autopilot/survival mode and forgot about what i actually enjoyed in my life. Feels like i’ve gotten my personality back now (at the expense of unemployment, at least for now). Anyone else quit/leave a job and feel a weird mix of financial uncertainty but complete freedom at the same time? Also side rant, but the 5 day work week feels like a literal con – i thought technology was meant to make the work week shorter, but instead people are working longer than ever! Makes me want to go live in a cabin in the woods somewhere far away from the corporate world, but i’m also mad at myself for being so dependent on the system 🙁 I would probably be terrible at surviving off the grid,…

What would you do if someone is bullying you and making you feel bad emotionally in the workplace?
