So as title says,
For starters, I've been in this job for 5 years now, my coworker has been here coming up 2 years.
When he first started he seemed like an alright dude, kind and funny, helpful and knew the job pretty well (10+ years experience, this is my first job).
After a couple of months I saw him become all buddy buddy with my line manager, and now I feel like I have my nose pushed up against the glass.
He has loads of personal issues, worried incase the bank forecloses on his house because of the interest rates we're battling, alongside some health issues and personal finance issues. All of which I've tried to be supportive of, listening to him and trying to help him figure things out (fyi, I'm 21 and he is approaching 49).
For some reason it seems he wants to take all of his frustration out on me, commenting on the way I work, or my personal life and mocking me.
I live a simple life, at my families house to save money, and I try to save and invest as much of my wages as possible so I could eventually get a house or an apartment of my own.
It's more or less every day now he has some form of comment to say to me, and when I try to talk to my supervisor about it I'm basically told to ignore it, but I cannot ignore the guy yacking in my ear and bitching on about me when he works like 6ft away from me.
I feel like everyone is ganged up against me and there is nothing I can do.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
