I'm at my wits end
Back story
I've been working in my job eight years and in that time I'm qualified in what I do and had my two beautiful kids
I'm now 30 and feel fed up
I work with two other girls and a man who is the owner, I only work twice a week, every day with the owner and then on different days with girl 1 and 2
These two girls don't like each other and girl one has been there the longest and has established some sort of hold over the owner and controls our holidays and just has alot of say over the general running of the business, so much so the owner took holidays when girl 1 had holidays and she didn't like it as it would of resulted in me and girl 2 having shorter days of work that week, so girl 1 made him change his holidays to when me and girl 2 are off to benefit herself, she also leaves earlier than us, gets paid more than us, has 3 weeks more holidays than us and other overall perks if the job
All this then results in girl two not being happy and leads her to speak to me with how upset she is. Girl 2 is also a negative Nancy so I can see also why girl one gets so fed up with her as she does go on alot about her self and sometimes it can be hard to say cheery around her but overall she's OK but just moans about all girl 1 perks
And as for me I am a people pleaser but finding it hard to have the right technique on shutting people down from moaning about other people to me.
Also the owner is so unorganised and cowardly and I find he does a lot of winding people up and bitchig when he feels like it.
I've approached him before on how hard it is some days to go to work and explained the situation but ended up twisting it and causing trouble by running back to girl 1 which resulted her slamming a door in my face. I'm not a argumentative or confrontational person at all.
I honestly just want to go to work to do my job and come home to my family but it just feels never ending girl 1 also rings me out of work and moans about girl 2 and then when I see girl 2 she moans to me which has now resulted in the owner poking fun calling me and girl 2 best friends which is now making more problems between me and girl 1 and the owner because he has seen us talking after work as girl 2 wasn't happy and she was venting about things to me. Please help
I don't know whether to leave but I'm paid really well so I feel like I'm so stuck. It's really getting me down.
