Colleagues making me miserable

Been with my company over 6 years and have had steady promotions every couple of years. In a role now that I think of as my dream job. However, since my last promotion (2 years ago) my colleagues have been making my work life so difficult. I’m not supported, not taken seriously, they spread lies about me not doing my job (when I do – hence the promotions), dismiss my ideas etc. On paper, I am meeting all my objectives, but the hostility and time wasted having dick measuring contests every day with colleagues is really wearing me down.

Been with my company over 6 years and have had steady promotions every couple of years. In a role now that I think of as my dream job.

However, since my last promotion (2 years ago) my colleagues have been making my work life so difficult. I’m not supported, not taken seriously, they spread lies about me not doing my job (when I do – hence the promotions), dismiss my ideas etc.

On paper, I am meeting all my objectives, but the hostility and time wasted having dick measuring contests every day with colleagues is really wearing me down. I feel like my whole job has become a joke where I spend each week trying to fight off the bullies and not getting any professional growth.

My manager is useless and will not help the situation. HR are just as bad.

I know what the obvious solution is but I feel like why should I quit a job and company that I love because of other people? I’m losing sleep over it these days.

I’m annoyed with myself for letting them get to me and letting it seep into my personal life.

Not sure if I’m ranting or looking for reassurance.
