#WorkplaceStruggles #OfficePolitics #DiscriminationAtWork
Do you ever feel like you’re just never quite fitting in at work, no matter what you do? 🤔
I recently shared my experience of being disliked at every workplace I’ve been in. From being judged based on my appearance to constantly feeling the need to overwork just to prove my worth, it’s been a challenging journey. 🙄
But I know I’m not alone in this struggle. Many of us face similar situations where we feel undervalued and underappreciated at work. So, what can we do to navigate through these tricky office dynamics and find a sense of belonging and respect? Here are some possible solutions:
– Communicate openly and assertively with your coworkers to address any misunderstandings or stereotypes.
– Seek mentorship or guidance from someone who can provide support and advice on how to navigate office politics.
– Focus on your work performance and let your results speak for themselves, rather than trying to constantly prove yourself.
– Stand up for yourself and set boundaries when necessary to ensure you are treated with respect.

Shows how childish working adults are
this is at every job hostile toxic environment
Oh well be hated. You know you’re good at your job. Keep going. Be petty
So. Throwing this out here – what’s the consistency in these scenarios? You. Not every workplace is toxic. Could it be that the “working too hard” attitude is coming off as obnoxious or arrogant? Perhaps? Or maybe not.
Just do your job. The rest will follow.
As someone who’s had the unfortunate displeasure of working with a lot of older Gen x people both in a office and a manufacturing setting a lot of these people get caddy because they feel their jobs being threatened by someone who’s younger and can do it better
What country? In the US you can file a complaint
Don’t do all that extra crap. Just be on time or a few minutes early. Try to ignore everyone who’s negative. Reach out to HR when needed.
Ive had the same issue can relate. Not a blonde though
It seems like jealousy to me. Don’t listen to them because their reactions show that you’re doing great! Don’t sacrifice your mental health to please bosses who are paid to mistreat their employees.
Take your time and think about the future; you’re still young, and this rhythm will just absorb all your energy.
Don’t change who you are to please people. You should change the way you’re working for yourself, and one day you’ll find a place that values you, a manager who’s proud to have you on their team, and a company where you’ll be an asset, not a target.
Good luck!
I am a small woman with a high pitched voice. I am also generally a happy/bubbly person. I used to feel like I never got respect and struggled with it. So I tried to subdue my personality, tried to be more like my supervisor, and I was miserable. Then my confidence grew and so did my career.
All that to say, anecdotally, just keep being you and ignore the rest. Know your worth and don’t let others tell you otherwise. The rest will fall into place.
There’s a common denominator here, and it can’t all be because of your long, platinum hair. There are career counselors who can assist with body language and corporate image. Unfortunately, there is something besides the hair that is causing everyone to make assumptions about you, no matter how good you are at your job.
If you are the petty type, go in and play dumb. Ask them to show you how they do the job, but churn out good work on your own.
People saying you’re drunk to your face is really abnormal. Does this happen often? Why are they saying this? Is it because of the way you speak?
It’s probably the way you talk to people tbh. I find that it makes such a difference. I also have to prove myself at every new job, thats pretty normal. But I’ve realized that I can just prove myself through quality work, instead of trying to show it verbally or overtly. These days I just hold my tongue a lot more than I used to. I’ve realized I don’t need to explain to people why they’re wrong all the time. If it’s not going to effect me or my work I let it slide and just nod my head and carry on. When I do have to prove people wrong I try to do it as smoothly as possible without making them feel dumb, but it’s still a challenge, so that’s why I try to do it as little as possible.
