I agree with sgreen that habit of not really working at work tends to feel bad after a while. Obviously you are intelligent and charismatic. I don't know what your situation is or whether it's possible for you to find something else...but while you are there it might actually feel better to do the w...

I think because it was loud enough to be heard so it seemed kind of humiliating. The situation was going on for so long and it was so outrageous and obvious and I guess no one wanted to address it and then when it was it seemed like it was raw. When she said that she felt like "the bad guy"...

I don't know if this is relevant but where I work we have someone who does a lot a gossiping and undermining. Recently she decided that she was going to have a lunch to celebrate out bosses 20th year at the agency. She stated that she was only going to invite certain people and when she invited me s...

Well she actually is and her bosses boss finally approached her about feeling that she was the "bad guy" because she refused to do the work she had asked her to do and then complained to everyone about her(during the endless lunch). I have to say that I really felt uncomfortable when I hea...

I certainly know what you are talking about, how one person can seem to have an impact on 6 others! If you compliment the person that he's insulting at any given moment (of course, he was only joking...) will it help?

Chances are that someone is leading this and other people are joining it or not preventing it because of fear of "rocking the boat" or becoming the next victim of the bullying. Is there anybody at that work place who is kinder to you? Until you can leave perhaps you could look out for the ...

I think its more of a kind of childish aggression against authority---you can't make me do my work or follow the rules, sort of thing. Nothing morale lifting about it.

Now, inevitably, this is the big scandalous day that has hungrily eaten all the small days in hot pursuit of happy days that result dramatically

One of my coworkers comes into work late each day-gathers together a group of very young new workers, encourages them to tell her all of their personal problems---eats lunch with them for up to 3 hours while they loudly laugh and tell highly personal and inappropriate stories (in an agency where peo...

It sounds very cultish!

Do you think that the girlfriend of 2 months might feel bad for a bit and then be able to move on and be quite happy with someone else?

The hard part about being in a situation where someone threatens to throw your clothes out, calls you at work so that your coworkers are concerned for your safety, seems to improve just when you are about to leave, blames you and the children for everything that goes wrong, criticizes you for what y...

I agree that you only know as much as she wants you to know. She stated that she was "parented." If you look at the story from another perspective, say that of her husband perhaps he is thinking that he has to take care of the child night after night while she spends time on the computer w...

It sounds as though your daughter is still quite dependent on you financially and still somehow feels like what you are is a reflection on her...much like a teenager. Her opinion of you matters a great deal to you and what and who you are matters a great deal to her. It sounds as though she is passi...

It's wonderful that you believe his girlfriends-that's not always the case. A batterer's program is probably the place for him. They are geared towards making those who are violent accountable for their behavior, stopping him from making excuses for his behavior such as by blaming substance abuse, a...
