I work with Chinese, they are very segregative. I was offered a promotion but cant get support from Chinese at my level, they stingy, jelousy, hateful and unproffessional. I have the top Boss who tries to support me but its getting too much that i feel its not propoer for me to keep reporting to him my problems all the time. I wake up uncertain of my day everday which has made me dislike my office. Your advice will be appreciated

If you are worried you should talk to your boss or other people you work with, ask them what they think. Are they as worried as you or is it just the fact that you think you've made a mistake? I tried loads of jobs before I found what was right for me, but in the end it gave me lots of experience.  \n\nWhich country do you want to work and live in? You'll find that the government are cutting down on foreign workers in many countries. I know in the U.K people are saying jobs should go to those born and bred in the country. In the end it's not going to matter how hard you work or how willing you are. But I wish you lots of luck and hope you find a job that will make you happy.

I will ask my assistant tomorrow. She's Taiwanese. Unfortunately I can't read Chinese...I hope you can wait until tomorrow, or if you're lucky, you might get some help from other people

Thanks for your advice. But what's the method could be if you really HATE your job?? I have a good-earnings job which I hate it, and it made me depressed already. I decided several times to change it to my favorite (which has about half-earnings) but I failed due to difficulties of life and the reasonable expectations of my family. Have you any special advice for this case too?\nThanks and Regards

True, it is not fair and we hate working with people who are so full of BS, especially when we come to work every day, because we want to do the "right thing'.\n\nHowever...........I was told something many years ago by a manager, that I will never forget and will share with you right now..........\n\nYou worry about you and not what every one else is doing or not doing for that matter. Make sure you come to work when you are supposed to and do the best job that YOU possibly can do. \n\nWhat your co-worker is doing is not going unoticed and what you are doing is not going unoticed. Let's see how long your co-worker will be employed versus you.

If you are really unhappy, you should think about changing jobs.  I changed my job two years ago because of a similar experience and I have never been happier.  There is also a high level of stress in my new school, but now I feel I have the support from my superiors at all times instead of the critics I used to have.

1. i like my job okay.  i joined for language school more than for the job itself.  it's one of those things where it sounds like you're doing all sorts of interesting, top-secret stuff with cool equipment, when in actuality you end up doing a pretty boring job, albeit still involving top-secret stuff and fairly cool equipment.  the linguist job varies from branch to branch and even within branches, though, so you never know.\n\n2. there is a fair demand for chinese linguists--not as much as for, say, arabic or korean linguists, but more than for french or german.  do you already know chinese or do you want to learn (or both)?  if you want to learn chinese, try your hardest to get chinese put in your contract -- otherwise, you'll be assigned according to the needs of the military.\n\n3. the air force will let you enlist for four years, though the bonus is considerably smaller.  the army's minimum is five years.\n\n4. shoot me an email in the next day or so -- i'll open myself up to spammers for that long.\n\noh, yeah, and the dlab...don't worry too much about it.  if you've ever taken a foreign language and done well in it, it shouldn't be a problem for you.  even if you've never studied a language, if you know what a verb is, you'll probably still pass.

Are you hotter than them? Maybe it's jealousy. Do you actually do a better job than them other than the few mistakes you made? Maybe they are intimidated. Its sounds like they are immature. I'm not sure why this job is so valuable to both of you but maybe you could consider transferring to another department? Maybe contact your human resources or equal opportunity section, if you have one, to see if they have any advice. If not then maybe mediation is the only option. Tell your boss and the other two that its not a healthy work environment and you think production in the office would improve drastically if something were to change...maybe more solo projects or moving cubicles to allow a little more privacy. It can be hard confronting superiors but what it sounds like is they are threatened that you might outshine them, my best advice is to keep doing your best, eventually you will get recognized and hopefully their bad attitudes will get recognized too (in a not so good sort of way)... GOOD LUCK!!

been there with my job...most of the time it is the employees keeping the managers and supervisors in their job and this is because if it wasn't for us...they wouldn't have their job they would be doing what we are doing. they cant say that they are keeping their jobs because of themselves...it's us small pawns that help them keep their jobs. but what can we do besides try harder and knock them off the ladder or just switch jobs(but if you do that..you're back on square 1)...so let's just play chess shall we?

My advice is to stay where you are until you find something better. I honestly don't think a person should stay at a job that not only do they not like, but also that is a dead end. It can be depressing, believe me I know (same situation). I'll take what they will give for now until something better comes along.

I went through the same thing at my job and I went to my immediate supervisor and explained what I was feeling and asked for something different to learn about the company.  I was a good worker so they started expanding my responsibilities and giving me more challenging options to deal with.  It helped a lot!  Good luck!

If I were you I would definitely look for another job.  It is quite apparent that you will not be getting a promotion.  If you don't want to leave, then ask your boss in a respectful way why he won't give you the promotion.  Maybe he has you in mind for another position.  Good Luck!

First of all, i'd like to say that all bosses are not like that, but the "crazy ones" make up a greater percentage. \n\nI used to have a boss like that in my former office but all I found out when I left was that God put me there to learn PATIENCE, and that is helping me today in my relating with my boss in my new place of work.\n\nYou have to understand that it isn't every body that is like you. A lot of people come to work with a lot of problems from their homes, and, they transfer it to you; only if you are sensitive to that, then you will be able to work better with him/her.\nTIPS:\n(1)Try to please them and be so caring (especially if it's a woman) by asking "how was your night" or "how is your family", and you'll see that the person will soften up and even begin to confide in you. \n(2)Smile always with them.\n(3)Flatter them.\n(4)Always try to please them: because you don't know how much they stay awake all through the night strategising on the next business moves that will yield your next salary. Remember, someday you will be a boss too.\n\nThink about it. With this you should have a better relationship with your boss.

Some people are not very friendly but most should at least be fairly neutral. It's the communication problems that normally put people off rather than any acutal unfriendliness; it's hard to build up any kind of meaningful relationship or friendship with someone if you can't understand each other as a large part of it is based on communication and conversation. If you can get a dialogue going you're probably in with a good chance. Should the first people you try not want to know, just ignore them and move on.\n\nStill, your english skills seem quite good (far, far better than most british people's chinese proficency, that's for certain)...... heck by the look of the internet it's better than a lot of so-called native english "speakers" :-) so good luck.

Chinese... you learn Chinese, and you'll have a tremendous advantage in business. You learn Chinese and you can ask for $100K -150K salaries. Can't say that for the Russian.  If you were to learn one of those two languages, you would find a good home in the American military, FBI, CIA, or State department, though you would have some competition. Less so, if you learned Arabic or Persian. Only Chinese, however, will give you advantage in both the public and private sectors. As for the law degree.... Well, negotiating or disputing Chinese contracts is like playing Monday morning quarterback. It's all academic. You ain't gonna walk in and tell a Chinese factory or person that they violated any kind of agreement. The government or Chinese government doesn't respect international business etiquette and law like nations of the free world do.\n\nBut, good luck. Learning Chinese ain't like learnin' Spanish. Compared to Chinese, Spanish and English might as well be the same language. Russian grammar is very difficult, but at least you can get your fingers around it. The Chinese really don't have complicated grammar, but if you can't here those tones... forget it. And if you do learn Chinese, you need to play the "dumb American" occasionally and not let them know that you can speak it. They all know English, but where Chinese will give you an advantage is that it will allow you to move freely within the country and figure out what they're not telling you.\n\nI'm in the import business, and we have learned to accept the fact that the Chinese lie to your face. They will raise their price when they've agreed to hold it for a year. They will ALWAYS ship a month late. It's a real problem.\n\nAnd Russian? I would learn another language first.

You asked for serious advice so here goes, usually when individuals act the way your boss does, they are very insecure people. Now here goes the hard part, if you like your job well enough to stay there and hold your position, then you have to pray for him, I hope you like to pray because I have found that it is the only way to get ahead in life is by prayer, not getting upset or mad at the man, but just let it roll off, and know who you are in God's eyes, you are God's child and He loves you and He will promote you, these are all very trying learning experiences for all of us at one time or another but the ones who hang in there and do their job to the best of their ability, will prosper, how do I know this?o.k. It happened to me several times, and even though it was tuff to pray for someone I personally had no feelings for, I thought well , the Word teaches us to pray for our enemies, and right now this person was my enemy, so I prayed that they would be promoted clear out of my life,,LOL and guess what I was the one that got promoted to a great new position, and with great people that I had a blast with, I mean God is awesome, He knows exactly what you need, sorry to be so long winded, but just want you to know that things can change, and you are not the victim, he is. Keep on girl and you'll some out ahead!!!!!WhEEEEEE!

I am the boss.  I did get a tie one year from some of the women that had worked for me, I have not seen anything since then.  Most of my employees whine and cry and complain about the workplace.  Even when I had bought them doughnuts they complained about what kind I got.  I made them ham and bean soup and they complained about the type of soup.  Some people can be so ungratful.
