Security chews me out for breaking minor rules that other people break with impunity. I get ridiculed by co-workers for being introverted, for reading during my breaks, etc. I've been called names..loser a lot.
I quit this job anyway because I couldn't handle it, so I'm back where I started...an unemployed bum with worthless degrees.
I'm really sorry to hear that happened to you. I don't understand what's so wrong with reading over your lunch breaks? I spend my lunch breaks taking walks in a nearby park and have had people make snarky comments to me about that, too. I guess when we don't spend lunches gabbing in the break room it makes us seem standoffish, maybe?
It makes me angry when 'adults' bully people in the workplace and act like they're in high school. I don't understand why it's so prevelant or so accepted. I once worked at a company where coworkers were openly hostile to me like that and it was really depressing. It got so bad that I wound up having to report it to HR, then, when people heard I'd reported it, they were even worse. So, I can empathize a little with where you're coming from.
