There are a group of people at my work who have been hating on me lately. It's gotten to the point that I just don't even want to go to work anymore. They will walk by me, call me names, talk about me and spread nasty rumors about me... What should I do? Please help!

Talk to ur boss, if u cannot do it face to face write a letter saying what exactly is going on. if you can keep a diary 4 rself of times n dates when these situations occur wold help if is bought up again. If nothing is done about it then either go higher p if possible or try and tackle these ppl face to face good luck

If you work somewhere that is part of a larger company, contact their main human resources department. It is their job to deal with stuff like this, and they absolutely will.

If it is a smaller company, then what you can do really depends on whether there is anyone above the people who are giving you a hard time. If there is a supervisor who isn't part of this group, discuss it with them. They aren't interested in having a cliche of girls take over their place of business.

Sometimes this doesn't work though. My first job was with a little local camera store. The guys there were terribly inappropriate, constantly making sexual comments to me and saying all sorts of awful things about me when I refused to date them. The problem was that there was only one person above them (the store manager), and she basically laughed and told me to grow a pair. Well, there was an assistant manager, but he was too busy talking about computer animated porn and being a loser to do anything. Yes, it was a perfect case for a sexual harassment suit, but I just quit and found a better job. It was retail, so nobody cared much about a spotless work history.

So talk to the higher ups and start sending out resumes, because even if the bullies start to behave under duress, it is just going to buy you time to pack your things and find a different job.

this is a really going solution. write down the situation and sign/date it because at the moment its only "he said/she said, waaa make it better." work harassment is a serious issues and a potential lawsuit. i dont know if this is an option but if you can find someone else was there to sign along with you on the documentation (obviously you probably cant ask the people harassing you but someone who is mutual but seen the event.) i dont know if you would want to do a lawsuit but this will at least make your boss realize what is going on/there is proof of it. the boss wouldnt be able to sweep it under the rug so to speak.

Report them follow all your rules and regulations in the company. Dont be scared, people will try to intimidate you and tell you to just live with it, well dont. Go to your supervisor, go to your HR office, call the EOE office and put a complain if nothing happens. But you have to stop them for your sake or any one else they will mess with.

I don't think the 15-year-old is asking for help...

Hold your head high and make no acknowledgement to their comments. Girls are brutal, and will continue if you look angry or sad. What matters is what YOU think, not them. Screw them, they don't know you. If you hold your chin up they'll stop. It'll continue, and probably be worse, for about a week and then they'll lose interest.
