Hey guys, great to post again, I miss you all horribly!
Anyways, I posted a while back about some older people at my job who were making things miserable for me. Well, it's gotten worse.
A couple of weeks ago, some older ladies got together, and the leader of the pack must have some form of a modern Hitler charisma when it comes to speaking and riling up a crowd, because she did just that, and got them all against me. When I wasn't around, they all went and complained about me being lazy, only doing easy tasks, and leaving more difficult tasks for others. In my defense, it's total BULLSHIT, I don't care how immature that sounds, it's bullshit. Plain and simple.
What happened between this particular woman and I goes back to this summer. To add specific detail, she is NOT my superior, she has the same title as I do, and she has been there NO LONGER than I have. She is exactly twice my age, and she is one of those leader types of people. She has a superiority complex, she thinks she is better than everyone else, and she will only do something that will benefit herself. Many times I have seen her at work picking and choosing simple tasks, because they will make her look more productive, and ignoring priorities, but I keep my mouth shut because I am NOT a tattletale and I was pretty certain that high school ended for me in 2005, and her in......like...85?? To put it simply, she's a big bully.
Ever since what happened (a simple MISSCOMMUNICATION, which she interrpreted as me doing something out of spite) she watches me like a hawk, every move I make, every second I am there. It makes me incredibly nervous.
After I was TOLD by someone else a few days later that this had happened and everyone was gossiping about me (the person that told me also believes it's bullshit), I did something about it. I went to my superior and told my story, no swearing, no dramatics, and made a crystal clear point.
Nothing has happened YET..but this is my question, to everyone out there who is older than me...
WHY are older people out there to get me? (I should also mention that I have spoken to several people my own age from my department and other departments around the factory, and this is NOT just a personal thing with me, they have also been victims of this older person bullshit).
I just want to go to work, do my job, help others out, and go home. It's a TEAM effort where I work, and I do not pick and choose to benefit myself like others do. I am sick and tired of being treated like a lazy child, when I am an adult just like them. I may be many years younger, but I am an adult, whether they like it or not, and I deserve just as much respect as any older person in there does. I have never done anything to warrant being treated like an invalid or a child. I am sick of this.
Not all teenagers and young adults are lazy and worthless. Infact, some of the most hardworking people there are in my age group, as I stated in my other post. Tell me, fellow CSers, what is it that makes them so jealous and want to get us fired? I NEED THIS JOB. I cannot live where I live or pay for anything without this job! I am very quiet and kind when I am at work, I am not rude to anyone, and I certainly don't act like I am superior; it's THEM who act superior.
I feel terrible and scared that one of them is going to get me fired and I will have nothing.
