Do you have someone in your workplace whom you know hates you for no reason?

I have some co-workers (some are still around while the others are already out of the organization) whom I know hates me and I DO NOT know what their reasons are. At times, it bugs the crap out of me. More often than not, I really do not care. For as long as they do not cross my line, I would not even bother stooping down their level.

Yeah ! Dolce_vita, Yeah! I still do not know why the bugger hates me. It seems he had 'born to hate' me. He tries every trick in the book to put spokes in the wheels at every given opportunity.I don't think its jealousy as we are not at the same working level, but 'born to hate' know! And I avoid any confrontation and mind my own business.

It's sad that people have to hate us for no obvious reasons. ..

Yes, I do. There is a guy named Bruce there who treats me terribly, especially when the manager of the department is gone. My manager has been out quite a bit because of his father being ill and in his absence this employee talks down to me as if I were the scurge of the earth. Its got me about ready to quit, but I need the money and I hate for this person to get the better of me. I had heard about his attitude before I joined the department, but I didn't know it was going to be that bad.

LOL. I don't believe you work with me. It would be an awful long commute don't you think? I have looked at your profile and it would appear by the way that you talk you are from the British Isles. I am not.

yeah! I have this colleague who is always against me and who always thinks that she's right and wants to win all the time. people says it's because she's jealous but I dunno. She's always staring at me like I'm doing something wrong and that gets on my nerves!

Perhaps, it is just jealousy on their part. Perhaps they have heard rumors about you that rather than confronting you and asking if these rumors are true, they believe them. Hard to say what goes on in other peoples heads. As long as you keep your cool, and do not return the animosity, you should be OK

Your topic drag me back into the memory of my last job. In the office, mostly were female. Some of them liked to make gossip everyday. In my team, I was the only male. One of the girl, who was the leader of my team made gossip about me. She told my mamage that I always teasing girls when the working time. But actually, it was not the true. I was very annoyed when my manager complainted me! I only made some jokes with the girls who they wanted to chat with me. And these jokes were not egregious, but comman. My manager didn't know me much, because she worked in another office far away from us. I didn't know why my leader made gossip about me, as I did nothing harmful to her.

I have at least 2 or 3 I think that I work with that do not like me. Most of them I think are a little jealous because I am married, am a Christian, and they are not sure how to ever react around me. Then sometimes it could be because they are in Sin, and know I do not approve of what they are doing, and they could feel a little convicted. In reality, one of them thinks she knows everything, and if you talk about someone that is wrong, and then in the next breathe she is there bad mouthing someone, and the problem is they are even in the same room and probably overheard it all. Personally, I wonder what it will take for her to grow up and change, but maybe she has a mental illness or something as well? No, they never said you will get a long with all of the people you work with, but it would be a lot easier if some of them could try.

Not that I know but way back in the organization in College, I know one girl who will never talk to me but deal with my best friends! I just realize lately that the guy who courted me was her crush! LOL, anyway, we were hired in the same company after our graduation and still I can feel the bridge she has set between the two of us!I don't care also!

Hello dolce. I understand the topic very well because I have the same case as you have already had. Well, I have some colleagues, who are jealous of me when I was valued a lot by my boss years ago. We used to be very good colleagues and cooperative with each other, but not since that. I do not feel happy to face them, but it is good that I do not have to share the same office with them. Their being like this is completely out of jealousy from my own experience. Thanks for your discussion, dolce.

Hi dolce_vita! I am so sorry that you have to be with those kind of people my friend. Keep your chin up and be strong. Don't let them get into your nerves. Keep calm at all times and be careful in dealing with them at the same time. These kind of people are just insecure. Just my thoughts dear friend. Take care and have a nice day.

I can relate to your problem. I have no problems with the day shift, but since I had transferred to overnights, some of the overnight crew just dont like me for some reason. I have asked and no response. Its funny because my daughter works that same shift as well and gets along with everyone. I wonder what the deal is but I am not going to worry about it because if they want to act like children, let them.

Yes,I also have such experience. But I think it is common because of people' varied standards of identifying a person they liked.This is just like people' favorite food is different. I myself also have someone I dislike with no reasons. It is natural.You need not to be annoyed!Just accept this,be you self, be real.No one is perfect.

Yes, I have one lady staff who didn't like me at all. She liked to give me a hard time in the office. Since she was an Administrative Officer, she loved to check on my attendance or delaying approval for my yearly increment appraisal. She also liked to check on me every now and then just to know my whereabout. I don't know what it was that make her despised me so much. But when I quit my job, we sort of shook hands and forget about the whole thing.

I know I have some office mates who hated me most because of the nature of my work. I want discipline and an honest to goodness works. But others dont like it thats why. So they got angry with me. At first I am reacting but now no more, let them get angry with me but I am not. I am just doing my work and my assignment.

i think you are differnt in your attitude ....i dont know whether you have approached others.but expecting others to sail in your track is normal , but practically it is not possible .because certain things you do may favour yourself and may be right to your knowledge.but what about others ?do they do the same what you think it right . just analyse yourself and your mind that. there you can get some..................................
