A little background story here. I've been making money since before the age of 14. I started having jobs since that age and I haven't stopped earning an income. I've been working for about half of my life. I come from a long line of workaholics....who likes to bury themselves in work. When we're depressed, we work even more..... So when my job becomes the source of my depression, I was left with no place to turn.
I started working at my current job on June 11th, 2015. My interview was conducted by our current manager; my interview at 12pm on June 4th, 2015
I only got to watch what my job entailed for 1 day and then training for about 2weeks, and then it was the standard 3 months probation period. I observed and watched how much drama.... this place had going on.... a lot of snitching on each other over every little thing.... until I realized, it was mainly one person instigating the drama.
I was already being bullied before my probation period even ended.... I spoke to my manager about that. The first time I spoke to her about it, it was 09-4th- 2015, I broke down and cried in her office .... she said she would talk to those involved.... One male, and One female. ...
The following days, weeks to months... was awkward.... and retaliation occurred out of spite... but that was expected.
But the guy that didn't like me for his reasons, resolved his dismay with me and we've been fine. We're on friendly terms. But the female one.... is relentless on picking on me every chance she gets and can get away with.... lol ... to a point that the guy who didn't like me, says he hates my guts.... told me he don't understand why she has it out for me... lol But even he told me to just quit or look for another job because it was a pointless endeavor...since this girl is friends with the assistant manager and the manager. He told me there's been complaints about her.... but nothing ever happens...so people just gave up..... since they're like best friends....
--- I don't come to work to start trouble because we spend at least 40 hours a week with each other, there's really no need for that mess. I see my co-workers more than my own family during the week. But this girl just won't leave me alone. And it's been over a year....
I email-ed my manager about it July 7th, 2016.... because I wanted a paper trail about this....
It's now Sept.22nd.... and I never got an e-mail response from my manager... and this girl still bullies me. So I went to my to speak to my manager today, and I was basically told that she doesn't know what I'm talking about lol .... with folded arms and legs in a seating position.... defensive body language... she defended her friend. (admirable, but inappropriate)
How has she been bullying you? What do you mean by picking on you? ( like I didn't give her enough examples in the past year lol) She was simply doing her job by showing you your mistakes. ... (this was when her facial reaction changed.... like a proud point was being made lol)
She taped a mistake i made, written in bold sharpie and on a 8 1/2 by 11" printer paper; My manager said " so you wouldn't miss it....." (when before it was all stickie size papers? for everyone else...in like the past year of my whole working history.... and not like we're posting a job opening or making a public announcement at the workplace?!?!? )
How is someone with the same job title as me, have the right to interrogate me??
When did you clock out? Where were you?
When I said it's not just me though, other people see it too.... But as soon as she asked me who? I knew I couldn't name anyone without getting anyone in trouble. ....:: deep sighs ..::...
All I know is .... what I hear on the day to day about her.... somehow became complaints about me when I end up to my Manager's office. Technicians have been complaining about me for the past 3weeks or so.... but when I ask for examples... she said just my attitude.... defensive and not cooperative when asked to do translations. Like...huh? what are you talking about? She said the technician manager and her self was taken back when they heard the complaints because they know how I usually am....
No words could express the amount of anguish I felt during this conversation.... all I could do was cry shortly after leaving her office.

I just feel like the world went 180 on me tonight....Don't get me wrong, I'm not perfect, I make errors .... there's no way you can make me feel like it's been all in my head when I've been bullied by this crazy obsessed female for over a whole damn year !!! esp. when I don't even know why she has it out for me???
I do know however....know that I have handled it as professional as I possibly could at the workplace in regards to this (I haven't snapped at this girl once...came close a few times) , and in her office today. I requested for mistakes to only be taken up with my by my higher ups and no one of my peers... esp. her. (Esp. when My manager don't see how she bullies me, I want to be extra fair to her too lol) I don't appreciate someone speaking to me in a condescending manner. My manager said she will try to accommodate to that, but she looked surprised to my proposal lol
I even asked her to mediate between the two of us .... because it's really unnecessary for all this nonsense that she has started all by herself.
