Sorry, I can’t say exactly where I work or what I do as it could be outing. I work part time everyday. There’s two departments. I’ve been there roughly around 7 years. It’s pretty much female staff. The group I work alongside are horrendous for gossip, talking about others behind their backs. For a while now I have noticed they are being ‘funny’ with me. It’s obvious they’re talking about me, making no attempt to hide it but keeping quiet when I approach, if you know what I mean. I have helped them out before on many occasions & haven’t spoken badly about any of them.

I know the other staff in the other department quite well and they are lovely, not at all like the ones I’m working with. I could ask to move departments but I would still have to liaise with the ones I’m working with now, for a few hours a week, which would make it awkward, I suppose I could just suck that part up (they will be funny with me & it will be awful I know) & get on with my work, at least knowing all the other hours/days I’m not with them.

Stop helping them, and don’t tell them anything personal. Get them off your SM if they are on.

Horrible feeling I have been there.If you have the chance to move departments then do that.A few hours a week you could cope with these awful people.Just be polite ,ignore and do your job.They will probably give up if you ignore.them.Good luck.

Do you have any idea what the issue might be?

I'd ask one of them if you've done something to upset them.

Don’t have SM so no issue there. Found out they weren’t very nice to some other staff & that’s why they left or moved, but management refused to acknowledge it was any form of bullying/bitchiness.

Could speak with line manager today about possibly moving but she’s quite busy & seems a bit stressed! I think it’s better to either email or wait until next week.
