Mine is bad. I realize people get very jealous when you did your job correctly, when you don't know how to do it, they taught you like a primary school children, which down graded your skills, when they talk to you their tongue is sharp, which often offend you. When you think you going to settle down the office because you have no $$$, they will see you as a cheap and poor individual. Do you work happily in the office or am I having illusions because of my depression? I doubt not.

I think being depressed is part of our life no matter how happy we are in a certain place. I loved my work for 10 years but realized that I have made myself too attached to it that the real owner doesn't do much and yet when something goes wrong, all the blame will be pointed at me. Then I also worked online. It was my first job online 2 years ago. I really didn't know much about computers except to open my mail, Facebook and do research and make use of Microsoft Word. So when I started working online, my boss taught me a lot. And I am very much grateful for that. but after a few months of working for him, and incidentally that time, we were no longer getting work from other countries, he accused me of stealing his clients! I couldn't imagine he would even think that i was capable of setting up a virtual office like what he has started online coz obviously I lack experience and contact. But still he made himself believe that I took all his clients away from him when the truth was I never even thought about it in a million years. So what happened was, we parted ways. He hacked my email, FAcebook, Skype and Online banking account. He wanted to know if I was receiving money from other countries. Lame, right? If he would have trusted me more, I think we could still be working together until now.

How can he blame you on that? He did not investigate and just believe you spoil his business. What a boss. But you still manage to earn online without him, that is good for you.

Well, thanks! I really didn't want to think I am a failure in everything I do. I am grateful for everything he taught me. And now that somehow I could make use of that little knowledge, I might as well make use of it. But never really wanting to go pass his achievements. I do not have vast experience to be in parallel with his capabilities.

I have never experienced that kind of work situation. But I think the best thing to do is to resign and look for a job that will value your self worth. I can't say as well that those people are degrading you because I really don't know the exact reason, maybe they are giving you a challenge to see if you are really fit with the job, or maybe they are just mean co-workers and it will be up to you if you get intimidated by them or not. But even so, what ever the reasons are for them to act that way towards you, it will be your decision to either stay and prove to them you can do the job despite what others has done to you, or leave and resign and look for a much better job which you won't be feeling the way you are feeling now. It's your choice, go to where you think is best and right for you!

I always switch to flexible job when my mind is troubled, but seems like I like to get back to office job when I am happy again. Am I crazy?

For me it's normal. That's your preference and that is your choice. You are human and you have feelings. if you no longer like your job, of course you have to find another one.

Personally you are right on and it seems like even on your best day you will never please everyone. So all I can offer is do the best you can with any job that is required and good things will follow.

Hi KrauseHome, Thanks. I hope you are fine too. All I ever do is went back home and think about what I had done to deserve these things. Sometimes I don't want to go to work and stay at home, that is why now I chose flexible job that I don't have a boss but a person to work with kinda freedom.

Hello wongchoiyee, don't think too much of them, you can quit and the only thing your hurting is yourself. maybe you should find ways to make yourself happy, probably quit that job if it's not friendly in the first place. am sure you don't want to stay there long. i can't believe this, i know you have ilnes and then you experience this problem in the office? that's sad.

Yes, I am having depression at 16, long ago before I start to work but this doesn't end people to bully me in the workplace either. Sad really. If I do flexible job, also there are no fixed salary for me to survive. How?

Their jealousy or sharp voice is due to their own folly and so Im not affected. Im kinda resistant of external bad weather.lol

My father also said that this is their own business, but it really affects me when they talk loudly in a workplace less than 300 square feet.

I worked in the office before and there was indeed jealousy and competition inside the office. I think its really part of being employed. One should be strong in character when you are working in an office. Don't mind them seriously as well or better find a job that has harmonious atmosphere. I know you can find one, just keep on praying too or pray for your employer and co employees. Prayer changes everything. Have a nice day!

I found that having a job in call center really a harmonious place to work. People are well mannered and friendly, if you want to talk about anything its open to you unless is something about the boss and company, other than that topics about work or others are always welcomed.

Most of the experiences that I had with working were actually very good experiences. When I was working at the hospital it was kind of a mixed bag because I didn't like the attitude of many of my co-workers. However, I loved the fact that I was able to work with people and I loved the fact that my patients were so thankful for what I was doing for them. When I worked in the office, I had a job that was solitary and I really liked that as well because I was mostly just able to keep to myself and that was a good thing for me at that time. Now that both of my children are in school, I have to admit that I'm looking forward to again getting a job outside the house.

good day wongchoiyee, honestly when i have read your post, i remember those days when i was working as an audit assistant. that a colleague of mine make a fuss that create a big mess. as a result, a lot of not so good things happened and i end up resigning. although my boss told me not to resign but, i chose it because i don't feel working in a company wherein they only think of themselves. that, they always think that they are only the people who can do best. so because of it and more other reasons, i decided to resign instead.

I thought people with high qualification doesn't have this problem, I am just a secretary graduate which isn't a big stuff, and I thought people like auditor, engineer, architect and others face less situation like this. Looks like I am wrong, friend. Anyway glad that you move away from those people who messed up your life.

I have worked in situations similar to that, however I'm the type of person that will bring it to their attention. Sometimes the person training you has done it for so long they forget that the new person doesn't know. You have to be diplomatic on how you approach them, you don't want to come off harsh or anything like that. Just let them know you need to talk to them and bring it to their attention, most are receptive to this, however there are a few that aren't and will get upset. It's hard to know how the person will respond since you don't know them that well. It's just the chance you have to take if you want it to stop, otherwise it will continue.
