Just keep looking until you find another job and then leave. I am sure everything will work out for you I can tell you are a great person! Keep affirming to yourself that everything is going fine and it will all work out eventually. Even if you need to take a lesser job like a cleaning job for a little while, until you find something better - at least it would be in peace and give you some space to look for what you want and good people to work with.

For example they will not give you the best reference, or stand by any of your achievements. The other alternative is to confron them in a bold manner with the courage of a lion and stand your ground - you've nothing to lose they are not with a good spirit inside them and they will back down. But will they change longterm - it's pretty unlikely and not worth the effort and pain of working with them. Start looking for another job get an amazing one and leave with your head held high.

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:55:56 +0000 http://dapinoyemployee.wordpress.com/?p=98#comment-209 Well my thing is I'm on probation for 3 months before they make a decision to hire me. Unfortunately, the person who was part of a vendetta against me at a previous company is at this new company. I've only been there a month and she has spread rumors and has everyone making snide remarks towards me about personal issues only she knows about because we used to be friends. A few of the girsl are actually sabotaging my work (3 incidents so far including one yesterday). I don't want to go to the supervisor whom I suspect has a part in it with my coworker. I don't want to go to our manager and appear as a paranoid nut and have him decide not to hire me. I don't want to confront these people until after I know I have a permanent position but I can't ignore it for 2 more months or should I? I was homeless and just got back on my feet and have two children to care for so I'm stuck. My reasoning is to confront them after I get hired on permanently in a tactful way. I would like to be civil with them so we can work together but at the same time....ewww! Well my thing is I’m on probation for 3 months before they make a decision to hire me.
