My co workers treat me like I'm a retard?
It's annoying & bothers me a lot because they treat me this way at work in front of people. Like sometimes I want to curse them out but I hold it in. Because even my manager does it too. It's aggravating & really puts me down. & than they expect me to work good. Like this old guy says put your head down and turn in circles & I'm like wtf you do that man. & he goes away. I don't want to quit my job because it's the only one I have right now. But I don't know how to deal with this. Because it's every ******* day. I go back home feeling terrible. It's like they torture me with words
Why do my co workers treat me like crap?
They think you're crap.
Why can't we treat our coworkers like friends?
When I worked in an office, two of the most exhausting challenges for me were 1) people who wanted to socialize during work hours and 2) being required to socialize for work purposes after work hours. It's not because I'm mean or didn't want to be friends with work colleagues. I just didn't want to work 60 or 70 hours a week. I wanted to get my work done and go home so I could do other things. I disagree with all the answers about competitiveness and greed. I am not very competitive by nature, and I always was more or less a "work to pay the rent" type of person. I wasn't ever angling for the corner office or anything. But in the culture of the city where I most recently worked an office-type job, it was considered important that everyone should work slavishly long hours for very little pay. People like me with outside pursuits who would've gladly worked a 35-hour week (yes I said THIRTY-FIVE) and gone home to draw or paint or practice guitar become very frustrated when the work day turns into an extended period of socializing and nothing gets done. I also happened to work in the nonprofit sector, where it was "all hands on deck" for special events the purpose of which was garnering big money from philanthropists. There was never any extra pay for these laborious parties, and I resent the years I wasted working at them. By contrast, way back when I lived in Atlanta, I used to go bowling with my co-workers after work once a week. It was fun and relaxed and we would talk about work and were friends. That was before I entered the insane work culture that exists today. I'm sure something like that still exists somewhere, but maybe it was just because the economy was better then and we all made enough money to have apartments, and weren't expected to work insane hours for low pay.
Why do my co-workers treat me like a child?
A few more details would allow for more of an answer but going on just what you asked, I would suggest that people tend to relate to us based on what we put of ourselves out there.There may be something in your character that gives off a childlike vibe.I don't know how you relate to this quality. If it is something you like, then you are good.If it is something you don't like or you want to tone down, then you may be able to change their perception by changing what you put out there.Things you can do to not come off quite as childlike:Take more responsibility.Work at enhancing self confidence.Dress the part.Make sure your work time is spent primarily focused on work and not other diversions such as chatting or indulging in office gossip.You may or may not already do these things, but if you do not, these are things that might be worth considering.Sorry I can't offer you more, but without more information I can only guess.Good luck all the same!
My coworkers treating me differently?
I've noticed a change in my coworkers, but I don't know what it is that's caused it. I have a coworker I used to talk to all the time. He's older, he's like a grandpa, and he's really nice all the time. The other day, I was asking if he'd seen a manager, and he just kept saying "Uh huh, yeah, sure", then he'd just start rambling about something. Sometimes he just ignores me. I have this other guy. I've never really cared for him, but I was looking for an item the other day in the back room. As I don't use their computers, I don't know how to use them, so I asked for help. He told me to go use it, but when I told him I don't know how, he rolled his eyes and said, "Of course you don't", I also asked him to help me become certified on heavy equipment a week later, he said he'd come get me for the class, but skipped me entirely. I'm more than willing to learn anything and everything, if someone would teach me. I've had a few other minor instances, but they're hardly noteworthy. I know I haven't been as fast as I usually am, but I'm dealing with a lot. Mom's taking all of my money, and she calls frequently, so I am often sleep deprived and groggy. Stress has me in a bind, I ache everywhere, and my mind is foggy. Managers, including the store manager, are usually pretty nice to me because I'm usually pretty good, that has not changed. A friend suggested maybe I'm being promoted, but I doubt it.
Why do my boss and coworkers treat me differently?
I'm a 19 year old girl, and I've had my 1st ever job for a month now, but I've noticed something I find odd. The attitudes my boss and coworkers share with me versus the attitudes they share with each other are like night and day. If they're swearing and complaining, as soon as I talk to them their expressions soften and they stop cussing. Even the tone of their voices change! And the people I've been told are 'snappish' or 'picky' are only ever nice/considerate/helpful to me. Some people seem to shift into completely different (yet sunnier) people as soon as we start talking. I'm talking about men between 21 and 40... Big age differences, yet similar behavior. I don't know if this is normal, but it honestly weirds me out! Ahaha, sheltered fresh-meat is sheltered... What do you think's going on, and why am I treated differently?
Will my coworkers treat me the same now that I have been promoted to manager?
There are many factors that influence answer this question including the individual personalities involved and the quality of your relationship to them prior to the promotion. What you really need to be asking is can you have the same relationship to them. The answer is no you are now a manicure and will need to take responsibility for guiding evaluating and improving their performance. You can do this with the same level of caring you had them prior to your promotion but at least in terms of your work life together you're not in the same position relative to them and will need to act professionally. If you don't take this advice the first time you're compelled to deal with one of your "Friends" as a manager you will find yourself in difficulties. Friends understands things that businesses don't. As a manager you represent the business not the friendship. You can be.co supportive and caring but you must represent the rules and structure of the business and meet standards for your own performance which now includes the performances of those you supervise.If you do your job well the only friend you lose are those who are jealous of your success. A good reminder for the future is that what you complain about at lunch with your friends this year you may be holding them accountable for next year.
Coworker is treating me like a child, suggestions?
When it comes to adjusting to a new culture, your best bet is to always assume good intent. This co-worker may simply think she is being helpful - she probably has no idea how her behavior is being perceived by you. One of the most valuable life lessons you will ever learn is to get along with people you work with, and that there will ALWAYS be at least one person who rubs you the wrong way. If you can learn to look past the behavior, not take it personally, and assume good intent, you will ultimately have far more success in your work life than others who create conflict at any opportunity. Of course, you could talk to her (very politely!) about this, but keep in mind that you risk offending her, which as a new employee could hurt you in the long run. Like it or not, you are new and the expectation is that you adjust to the work culture - it does not adjust to you! It ain't right, and it ain't fair, but no one ever said life (or work) was fair, right? Do you like your job? If so, then your best bet is to not react to this behavior in any way that could be perceived as negative. Tell her you appreciate her taking the time to help you get settled in your new job - you could end up turning her into your biggest ally! Focus on doing your job to the best of your ability. Deal with this lady with politeness and respect - sooner or later someone ELSE will be the new person and she'll have someone else to "help".
Why do my Mcdonalds co workers and managers treat me like crap?
Welcome to the restaurant business, my friend........... In my eyes, you are a victim of bad management, and the fact that this McDonald's location does not take the time to properly train their employees is evidence of this. I bet your co-workers had to go through the exact same thing, and are taking out their frustrations out on you........... Do you have a college degree? If not, go to college and earn one. Find ANY restaurant other than McDonald's to work at, if needed. ANY restaurant. You will never get very far if you're stuck with a restaurant establishment with poor management. You sound like somebody who has a good work ethic. IT WILL BE NOTICED if you demonstrate it with most other jobs in this world. Don't let this lousy, poorly run McDonald's establishment get you down. Restaurants are always looking for good, hard-working people (one of the many reasons why the turnover rate is so high in the business).
