Dear Gatsby,
my own experience with work place bullying sounds unfortunately similar to yours. I joined an RE firm as a junior sales assistant a few years ago and there was a female agent who took an instant dislike to me.
whilst nothing was ever said to my face by her in the first few months i had coffee tipped ‘accientally’ into my keyboard, messages intentionally passed on with incorrect information, property files i was looking after going missing off my desk after hours and being subscribed to questionable sites on the net with my work address.
i used to wake up dreading going to work, often in tears when walking out the door. the whole time i wondered what i had done to offend her – turns out she didn’t like that the boss was spending more time training me than paying attention to her sales record…
as it turned out she left the agency shortly after, i never confronted her and never spoke up to the boss – in retrospect perhaps i should have.
my sympathy goes out to you, remember work takes up so much of your time that there is no way you should spend it miserable…
