Just wish I were a bit more resilient. I worked with a woman i hadn't met before, I could see from the off she wasn't one for making friends/small talk, and that's fine I don't mind.
It's a physical type of job, I've been doing it for 3 years and never had any warnings etc. I've had good feedback.
Anyway she was sighing and tutting, raised her voice at me a couple of times but I just ignored, put my head down and tried my best.
Then there was something both of us had forgotten to do, it was equally our faults and no reason why I should've been the only one to remember.
She shouted at me and I apologised and went to do the thing we hadn't done (which was in no way life or death) and she went 'no, go and do that there, now!!'
I said calmly 'please don't speak to me like that. ' and went to my manager.
I asked her if I'd be able to put with someone else, she said, sorry no.
I ended up crying a little bit, tried to disguise it as best I could but I felt so weak.
The woman caught wind and apologised which was good. Most people are fine and you don't have to be friends with everyone, but I hate being told off like a naughty child and shouted at.
Was I too weak here? I just wish I were tougher.
