You can talk to us :)

Do you have a friend that you could talk to about work, boyfriend, etc?

How is the job going? And your boss that you like ;)?

Even the most mediocre of underachievers can plan on being on the wrong end of the grapevine at least once in their career. Bosses? ? ? There is a pretty hefty list of reasons bosses get paid more. The need to play the scapegoat is pretty high on that list of reasons.

Lucky for you, you can come here to vent about the no-fucking-fair of that one.

Listening. . .

Feeling that same space today as well.

I do hope you find your center and sense of calm soon.

I truly love my job. I enjoy it mostly. I mean like everything you know you have your days. I've been working 12-14 hour days. I go in at 6 and last night didn't get home till almost 8. It makes for wickedly long days. But I do love what I am doing. I suppose I am just getting frustrated with working so many hours. Mostly because I am exhausted. The talking about me and stuff like that doesn't really bother me because with taking the position you would have to expect that. It kind of comes with the job. Every day I am learning more and more. Realizing where I am needed at and what I need to do. It's all a learning process. As to my boss who I like. Man oh man I really like him. He is just very appealing. So appealing it's ridiculous.

brooke911 I'm happy that you got a promotion. I understand that everyone needs a person to vent to. Everyone does. How about a friend that is not an employee there that way you can reach out to them on breaks. Here is something to think about, Who do you work for? Do you work for the employee recognition of acceptance or for you to become the good person you created to be. Believe in yourself. You are worth more than you give yourself credit for. Hope this helps. Hugs my friend

I am the director of a pre school. It’s been a challenge because I was one of the staff members and then moved up to run the school when the old owner decided to sell. So the old staff I have left some of them don’t see me as the boss now and have a hard time accepting that. I’m standing my ground and having to become more firm. It’s a challenging transition even for me.

I felt like an outsider at my workplace, with my own family members, and in college. Sometimes I couldn't get with the people at church. Loneliness can be overwhelming for anybody. As for the workplace, it would be better to find a good friend to talk with who doesn't work there. Seek out someone in your life, whether it be a more experienced friend, relative, or counselor to discuss some work issues you might have. Work is difficult when you are not supported by your employer or a coworker is giving you a hard time or gossip is being spread. I might go to the employer at some point after asking some advice from another source not affiliated with your workplace. Ask yourself how much you like your work tasks. I have been in jobs that were not suited for me before and had to make the change. Sometimes, you can get better at it if given enough time. I wish you well.
