More job troubles :( please read input welcome

[waldo1]

As some of you know i am in no position to loose my job and as of the past few weeks this one person at work has constantly gossiped about me and my girlfriend and i and has tried to get us in trouble.

I let it go and what not. I pray every nite that i dont get fired [although i have not done anything wrong or ever took a day off vacation or personal day for that matter the entire time i have been there] Because she wont stop trying to cause trouble.

Today i get to work and find out that i am being written up for two things. 1 i asked another person to switch jobs with me for a bit because i was feeling ill. Ok that is all well and good.

2. The woman who gossips made a huge error and wont admit to it and now everyone has to get a write up and she has no remorse and says its everyones fault when the assignment was given to her to complete and she dropped the ball.

I was so worried that i was being fired that i became nauseated. then my girlfriend gets written up for the same thing but then i was asked if we were together and we would be seperated if we were i didnt tell a lie i just changed the subject by asking more questions about my write up.

I asked outrite if i was going to be fired because it seemed odd that all this stuff was falling on me. Yes i can accept one write up but the other no and i have no choice its a done deal.

And to make matters worse a person i work with called mmy house to see if my girlfriend and i are together and other personal questions were asked. My sister who was at the house told them not much but everyquestion that was possed her was asked of me today. Its almost like they [gossip lady and my supervisor who are great friends] are trying to get rid of us just because we dont go out and cause problems or hang out with them or something.

I pray to god all the time and i am about to reach my breaking point i cant loose my job nor can my girlfriend but i cant take to much more. I know im not the best person in the world as i have made mistakes in the past but nothing major but it almost seems that i cant catch a break anymore and the more i pray the worse things are getting. I am almost begging god to help me and i still am not seeing an end to this.

At anyrate i will keep on praying but i need to catch a break soon because i cant keep up anymore. I wish i could get a job closser to home but in my area there just isnt much out there right now but my goodness something has to give soon.

Do you have a human resources department? If so, I suggest contacting them because what they are doing to you sounds like harrassment. I would also suggest thinking about contacting a labor attorney. If you are unjustly terminated then you have every right in the world to fight like a junk yard dog. I'm sorry that this situation has progressed to this point, and that it is upsetting you so much. When I get really rattled at people I like to read some of the OT prophesies of the coming Christ. It reminds me that the arrogant shall be brought low before our Master.

Peace-

I really can't understand why you would stay in a work environment like that - even if it's a hard to find kind of job. It'll look better to a future potential employer if you resign than if you get fired. If I were you I'd give my 2 weeks (or whatever the standard is in your workplace) notice and then leave.

I am at the point where i am getting my resume together and hopefully by the first of the month i can hire a headhunter or at least start to get my resume out there.

I would place my notice but as of right now i cant afford to not have a check coming in every week. I know it looks bad if i get fired but i plan on taking the next 3 checks and getting everything paid up for a few months [3 or so] and then i will leave. I do have some money saved up but i will need that much at least to get me through whie i find a new job [thats when i place a notice in] I plan on leaving without incident and being kind and courtious throughout. I really believe that [and i cant bring myself down to make a scene or be difficult] leaving with composure and dignity is best. I have thought of contacting a labor attorney but in all honesty i think i will just take my leave and pray for the next person they decide to destroy.

I guess the other person before me and my girlfriend was so sick of it to the point where she beat up the woman who gossips very badley. One would thing that a beating would cool your jets but i guess not she is still at it.

I'd say to contact human resources or your supervisors boss. Somebody in the company should have the power to intervene in a positive way for you

work can be stressful enough and then have to worry about all this on top of it.. look for a diffent job. but before you leave.. turn the lady in. she needs to be the one to lost a job here not you.

Start looking for a job now so that in case you get ditched, you have something to fall back on if the time comes. I'll be praying for you in this thing. With love, Lauren

I don't understand what you and your girlfriend going out has anything to do with your Job situation? Why would that effect anything.
