What should I do about being bullied at work?
My manager talks to my coworkers about me and they all treat me terribly and give me attitude for no reason. I told my manager that my coworker was mistreating me and she let me work at a store alone, but the store gets so busy and i'm the only one there to work. Then my manager would laugh when my coworker criticizes me, and sometimes she would mock me. So I told the boss that I don't get along with my coworkers and manager, and he just started criticizing me. I know I have flaws but instead of my manager telling me what i'm doing wrong she just mocks me and laughs at me, talks badly behind my back. Sometimes I do have bad moods but I try my best to be kind to them because I know i'll be working with them for awhile, sometimes they'll be nice but mostly just take their anger out on me. I really dont want to lose my job because I need my income (plus I get abused at home by my mom, she always criticizes me and tries to make me feel useless). So i'm trying to save money and move out and also get a nose revision. I want to get employment insurance but I know if I quit I won't be able to and might end up homeless. Please help.

So ASK what you are doing wrong. These aren't your parents, they are employers running a business.
Stop making the mistake that employees are friends.

Please take this answer in the spirit in which it is intended. If you perceive that you are being bullied and abused by many people in your life but can’t get support for this, it is possible your perception is skewed and not accurate. You may have a victim mentality, where you perceive abusive behavior where none actually exists. You told your manager that you were being mistreated by a coworker and had to work alone. Obviously the manager didn’t agree with your assessment of mistreatment or have an issue with you working alone, because the response was not to investigate your claim. So you then told your boss you have a problem with your coworkers and your manager, and again, your boss didn’t support your perceptions, but instead criticized you. You also have issues at home with a mother you claim is mistreating and abusing you with criticism. Do you see the common thread here? Not all feedback that isn’t positive is criticism, and criticism doesn’t have to be a bad thing. But you have decided to take it all that way.
I think you might benefit from talking to a therapist who could help you figure out why you have this perspective and mentality and how to change it. Your work may offer an employee assistance program that could help you find a therapist (my employers EAP covers eight sessions with a therapist for free each year), so that could be something to look into. Good luck.
