Another place where I'm not liked by the supervisor

[whatisforteamum]

3 yrs ago I got a new job.
A step down from an energetic lively place to much more slow paced place.
My supervisor decided she didn't like me and neither did her colleague when she returned so 18 months of being ostracized ensued.
It was a first for me so I was chuffed to get a much nicer job fantastic hours great work.
One lady I was warned about seemed ok.
Then a few months in went funny so I ignored it as everyone else was lovely.
The impression was I talk too much....this person talk and gossips ALOT.
Today I get told she doesn't like me.
I'm too lively and energetic in the morning. She is a decade older TBF and I'm 50s.
It was admitted she is a bully though.
I'm at a loss why I get bullied so much.
I cannot do cliques.

What is she doing to bully you? Do you talk to much?

Not everyone is going to like you no matter what you do. Enjoy the job as much as you can, enjoy the pay, and don’t put up with any sort of bullying. And brush your teeth every morning.

Do you talk to much? Can't you just do your job and go home?

The person who told you this other woman doesn't like you could be lying. Even if they are telling the truth, they were nasty to tell you.

Lively and energetic in the morning suggests to me you're medicated lol.

I'm too lively and energetic in the morning.

Oooo that's my kryptonite. I can't stand it. Added to which, toxic positivity.

I have someone at work who apologises, thanks, and praises MUCH too much. It fills me, and several other people, with rage. There are good psychological reasons it does.

Describe your average day, with interactions...

Also, join a union!

The person you need to be on guard with here is the shit stirrer who told you that.

One of my colleagues is very enthusiastic and cheerful in the mornings. When I arrive he actually stood up to greet me and say good morning. I hate mornings. I hate work too 😂. I told him (nicely!) it was too much too early and he needs to calm down. He took it very well and still greets me, just a little less excitedly!

Yep. Why would anyone tell you this? It sounds like they want to upset you.

True it was my job chat so my manager.
My typical day I'm up at 5 am.
Light house work walk a mile commute to work.
Always arrive on time.
Arrive happy,cheerful and energetic.
Ask colleagues how they are .My focus is my job.
Do my job while not engaging in any gossip or general bitchiness.
Return home and research ideas for future projects.

You say you don't engage with any gossip or bitchiness, but you're literally engaging with someone you've described as talking and gossiping A LOT. So just stop engaging with the gossip?

Thank you for the heads up.😁

They might be happier with "hey" in the morning

what jumped out at me is that you go home and do more work? Is that ultimately brought in as a "great idea" which creates work for others? If yes, is it part of your job to do that?

My job is also my hobby so looking for ideas to be creative is an interest to me.
I do say hello however they want me to sit around drinking tea for 20 mins when I prefer to get started as I lose my momentum.

Thetruthhurtsdontit I don't engage is the gossip.
I don't like it and I'm not there to be judge and jury for others lives.

What has she done that’s bullying? From what you’ve written it’s the other colleague, reporting on what she’s supposedly said about you, who is stirring.

Minor nitpicking gossiping.Apparently it's happened to several others who have been at the brunt of her.

Misery loves company, that’s what it is. Plus if they’ve been working together for a long time they’ll be stuck in their ways and don’t appreciate you not being as low energy as they are.

My workplace is small-ish but has a fair mix of people and this happens all the time when someone new comes along. We had a coworker with ADHD and Tourette’s who disclosed it prior to being hired and they only enjoyed the energy for 0.5 seconds until they got fed up and bullied him out of there.

Interesting that both times I mentioned I'm awaiting an assessment!!
Also I'm not used to almost retired women dragging everyone down.
One of them activally hated her job and the company so couldn't believe I had the energy or enthusiasm to make any changes.
