Demoralizing work environment: Should I resign or should I suck it up and stay?

Tweet

I am currently working at a clinic for almost two years, and all I can say is I am not happy at all. When I applied there, I thought it would be a nice place to work. My patients will be children, I LOVE CHILDREN! and I'll get to work with people in the same profession and in the same age bracket. I was really excited. But when I started working there, I've noticed that my co workers had a lot of drama among themselves. I mean, there's drama everywhere you go, but this one was just too much for a staff of 10 people. I came from a multi billion company where people get paid by commission, so everyone's like a shark trying to get every transaction they can and reach their monthly goal, and that causes drama, but not as much as I witnessed in the clinic. Anyways, I got to taste some of that drama. There would be times when my co workers wont talk to me unless it about work for about 2 weeks, and then talk to me again as if nothing happened. Sometimes, they give me an attitude while I ask them a question about work or respond sarcastically and laugh at me when I make a mistake. There are also times that they just leave me by myself at the clinic when they all go out together for lunch without asking me to go with them. Not to think I'm special for me to think that its just me, but its actually demoralizing and lately they make me feel like I'm stupid. And if you think that's bad, wait till you hear about my boss. I was starting to get the hang of the work load, when I needed to check with the insurance about a procedure they cover, and my boss was right in front of me, she couldn't hear the other person on the other line, and when she thought I said something wrong she punched me hard on the arm and grabbed the phone from my hand. I was so mad, and when she heard that what I told her in the first place was right, and I did not say anything wrong, she didn't even bother to apologize. Sometimes she'll slap my hand, pinch me on my side, and when I make a mistake she'll tell everyone at work and laugh at me. It's a very stressful environment, I never experienced this in my previous work, especially while I was pregnant. So what my lotters, should I quit or should I swallow my pride and stay???
