Quote From: juliebggSometimes when you are in a bad situation the best thing is to move on. Especially if you have tried to talk to people and just found that your words have fallen on deaf ears. You had a very logical reason for going over your supervisor's head-she wasn't there! But she looks at it as a slight to her which is kind of immature if you ask me. She could have said to you that the next time, she would like you to call her or try your best to find her if you wish to stay late. But instead she chose to not let it go. Very childish. To me it sounds like you are better off going somewhere else. Read my previous post to amica and target and you will see that I once found myself in a really bad work situation. Whatever I did to try to make it better just didn't work. In the end the best thing was to get out and start over. Yes, it took a while to regroup and recharge my self-esteem. But it can be done. Best of luck to you! Julie
Please try to accept that this had nothing to do with you. The person bullying you will now just find someone else to bully. It says nothing about you and everything about them. It doesn't minimize the pain this has caused you, but recognize that the bully has moved on to harm someone else. You could not have changed the sequence of events that occurred unless you left the job earlier. Perhaps that is the lesson for all of us: If bullying is going on in the workplace, stop looking in the mirror and start looking in the want adds! Hope you feel better soon.
