To look for a new job because certain people are rude

[littlemissnice]

to me, I used to enjoy the job but recentley a few individuals have been talking to me like crap,it annoys me and Im getting fed up with it.

As I was leaving I could see a couple of girls being bitchy about me and it just made me feel like I was back at school again,this was a one off so I wont be working in the future with them.

Should I start looking now ?.

what were they rude to you about?

one was about his customers, and I dont know about the girls they were whispering and turned away from me ,when I left.

It depends, as there is no guarantee you are not going to encounter the same kind of behaviour somewhere else.

I think that you need to evaluate the situation, is it something that you are doing that is feeding the situation? if so, can you change that? if it is something another person is doing, can you talk to her?, if this is the case and things do not change you can get HR to mediate and hopefully solve the problem. But if you think the damage is beyond repair and it could only get worse then find another job.

YABU if you think the grass is greener. It happens everywhere. I love my job but it is human nature to gossip and I know it goes on. I really like the people I work with but I would certainly stand up for myself if I thought they were being nasty behind my back.

You need to nip this in the bud and make it clear you won't be spoken to like 'crap'. Stand up for yourself!

I think you would be better off asking them, oh so sweetly, if there is a problem. There will always be bitchiness everywhere, you can't just keeping leaving places to get away from it.

Maybe they weren't talking about you- maybe discussing their piles/crap bj techniques? (I'm not immature at all!). Ignore them, they're not worth it, or ask them if they have a problem with you, they'll either run away or give themselves an opportunity to clear the air. Whatever it is, it's probably not your fault.

littlemiss, do you need to work with them to do your job? If you can largely do your job without their co-operation, then you just have to draw some boundaries about their behaviour whilst you are there.

You cannot stop people gossiping about you, but you can ask them if there is 'anything they would like to ask you or you could help' if they start any whispering in your vicinity.

Either way, worthwhile to escalate to boss/HR especially if you are thinking of leaving anyway. Phrase it as how it is affecting your ability to do your job, not as a personal thing.

i think, you either work with at least one person who is a bit of a twat, or you resign yourself to a life with long spells of unemployment...

I suppose some work environments are overall bitchier than others. When I did summer vacation work, I had to put up with minutiae and 'playground' atmosphere. Then I qualified and got a professional job and there was none of that.

Oh yes, there was still gossiping, just nothing in your face.

littlemiss, one way is to get promoted over your silly colleagues.

You just have to ask yourself how much it bothers you. I always found that once I had left the building/walked through my front door I had already forgotten anyone petty like that. To be honest, if it isn't endemic rudeness from people you work with every day then I think you would be very silly to walk away from a job just cause one person was rude to you and some other girls might have whispered about you, this isn't the playground. People won't always get on and not everyone is polite.

Thanks everyone,I have been out of work for a while as I had children,I will stick up for myself against one individual I wont be treated like crap. As for the girls it was a one off I should just shrug it of I guess and carry on ,although if it happens again I will ask if there is a problem,thanks everyone.
