You wii be fine! Very typical reaction.
I was called the B word within two weeks of starting a job. I had that job for 32 years. Not to say it wasn't hard working with the these types of people but it is an unfortunate part of the work environment.
Just stick to your guns and typically they are gone before you know it. Move on to bully elsewhere.
And I learned two things...a job is often not worth , nor does it require, the emotional investment we develop. That is really something we use to help us get to work and do a good job. Self motivating. Secondly, don't ever be the one who demeans the new person. That was you once.
I recently left a contract position because I was told not to think, just do. Really?
Thanks for your kind words @nananini . I didn't mind them after the incident. Never spoken to them since. I was told by my manager it's better not to fight back coz what they're saying reflects to the kind of people they are, not me. And she's indeed right. At the end of the day, we go home to be with our family, not for them.
Wow, a manager with experience and good advice.
Yep, the goal at the end of the day is enjoying your free time. Leave work at work. 8 hours a day is enough.
