i feel unfair when being "attacked" by 3 people at my workplace?

there is a person at my workplace that always argue with me over some tiny mistakes i had made. i feel that she is wrong cause she always pick a fight first while i always tried to avoid the argument. but i admit that i made mistakes too cause what the things she said or rather say criticized me was correct sometimes but i hate the way she told me (with angry and unsatisfied face). even my boss never did that to me. just this morning, she again tried to dig my mistakes in front of my boss during the meeting. the way she said was not try to teach me but try to embarrass me! and her "team" of girls worked together and insulted me! and blame me for every mistake i made! did u ever face such problem before?

    not exactly, but i do have a manager who likes to point out every lil mistake i make sometimes while she doesn't even do any work herself so yes i can understand your frustration and it sounds like they are very insecure and are looking to to give you a bad time to make them look good; not good people to have at the work place. Perhaps you should have a one on one with your boss and tell him/her what is going on so that maybe he/she can put a stop to it. hope things get better, sorry they're soo bad. Hang in there, it has to get better. :)

    It might help if you requested a meeting with your boss and this person. If you make a mistake, they should tell you, you are not going to know you made a mistake unless someone tells you. If you make a mistake you have to be told about it, and given a chance to correct it. You have the right to be treated with dignity, self respect, and self worth. You are learning a job, you will likely makes mistakes, and admit them and learn from them and move forward, but they don't have to beat you down and embarrass you about them. I have a new boss and she is that way too, but I know I don't have to work with her for long, so I just take it from her. Have a meeting with your boss and her and explain that while you are certainly going to take responsibility for your actions and behaviors, you should still be treated with dignity, self respect, and self worth. No matter what job you have as you journey through life, the employers should at least be professional and treat you professionally. It is sad, but 24% of today's management is narcissistic, drug addicts and or alcoholics, so sadly, you will run into people like her no matter where you work. It is hard enough to work a job, but harder when you have to work with people like her. I am sorry she is so hateful, I certainly know how that feels and it doesn't get better with experience either. I am sorry she treats you so badly.

    If they are really nit picking you for tiny things, I would suggest that the first you do is have a meeting with your boss. Then, the next time they come to you with a mistake, tell them to take it to your boss. They likely will not give your boss the same attitude that they are giving you and if it's a small mistake that you made your boss will likely tell them to not bother them with such petty mistakes next time! Eventually they will just stop harping on you!

    yeah, I had the same experience as yours. I was 19 when I worked as a team member in wood processing industry. Everyday was a bad day, not because of the job, but because of my team leader who would tease me and make everything difficult for me. There were times that I had almost lost my temper and wanted to punch him in the face. I couldn't complain, whine about what he was doing to me because I couldn't find a better job at that time. I kept working in spite of the insults and embarrassments.

    One day, he asked me to stay for overtime. I told him that I couldn't. I didn't tell him the true reason (that day was the graduation of my brother) because I knew that even if I'd tell him, he wouldn't allow me although he was just a freaking team leader and not the supervisor or the boss. Apparently, he didn't allow me, no matter what reason I gave him so I rebelled. I escaped from my work to attend my brother's graduation.

    The next day, while the assembly was being held, my team leader had stood up in front of the employees and gave his speech (the bosses thought he was one of the best so he had the nerve to speak like a true leader). Then all of a sudden, he called me. I stood up and walked towards him. He didn't tell them what I did but he embarrassed me by saying ridiculous things about me and made me feel like an idiot. I was totally pissed, I couldn't look into their eyes because I was really ashamed and uncomfortable. That day was really a nightmare! If only I could defend myself and tell them my team leader was a bastard, then I absolutely would.

    Consider bringing this up to your boss or that persons boss about workplace bullying.

    Remind them that you're human and make mistakes.

    Leave your job, and find another.

    Try to improve on your mistakes.

    Do nothing and don't let it bother you.

    confident. he's likewise a great hypocrite. He is going on and on approximately how terrible individuals are who use drugs and are available to be certain, he's hooked on many prescription drugs. He take's sufficient of them in an afternoon to kill a classic individual. i think of the only people who hear to him are extraordinary conspiracy theorist. i does no longer be shocked if he had a fan membership of people who positioned on tin foil hats.
