I’m a positive person, but things often are hard to deal with. One of these is the realisation that I’m being bullied at work. It’s something that’s been getting worse and worse lately – and it’s really coming to a head. It’s not the kind of bullying that anyone notices apart from me. It’s stares, laughs, sniggers, whispered comments and it’s so much worse than being insulted in the street. These people work in my company, and I have to pass them every day.
The other weekend I went to the candlelight vigil held because of exactly this reason. This kind of behaviour, if left to fester, ends up getting worse and worse. The people doing this are a small number, but it’s an absolutely horrendous thing to have done to you. I feel scared and horrible and very angry that these people are doing this to me. I reported it yesterday to my manager, but it’s absolutely evident that it’s going on today too. My manager treated it seriously, but it’s actually more serious today. I’m actually feeling really worried about being in my own workplace, and it’s not fair.
She’s out at the moment, but I’ll be talking to her as soon as she’s back. There’s no way I will stand for being treated like this!
