They feel threaten. Take it as a compliment! Leave 'em alone, they will cause their own downfall.

Yes I went through the same thing.  I found at that point there is nothing you can do.  Although you probably never deserved to be in this sitution I find that usually people need to gang up on one person and bully them.  It is not acceptable.  I went on meds because of it and when I was done working there I came off of the meds.  Management was involved in this case and I was approached by a laywer to sue these people.  I choose not to, the reason being that it would have cause more stress.  I now have a better job with better pay and I no longer take meds.  Please hang in there.  Start looking for a new job right now.  They cant fire you without a just cause, worse come to worse you will be asked to leave with two weeks pay.  But find a new job, being unhappy is not worth it.

They are teasing you because they are jealous of you.\n\nThey are trying to bring attention to them instead of the attention being focused on you.  They are just tryng to make themselves feel better and this is the only way they know how to do it.\n\nYou need to....as hard as it is to do...you need to ignore thier remarks.  Dont ever let them know you are bothered by the comments and you may even have to throw some of thier own silly commments back to them.\n\nPeople tease, because they are feeling less of themselves.  It is thier defense.\n\nGood luck!

It sounds like you are unhappy and need a different job.\n\nTHEY are the boss. You are labor.

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!!

Because it is all about egos. \n\nI work for a municipality and it is disgusting to see the importance they all attach to their little piece of the pie and how hard they work to enlarge and maintain it. The self-importance is truly amazing! \n\nI had a department head tell a group of us that we were 'worthless monkeys' but he was being paid 6 figures because he was worth it, and in fact, he said he was worth more than they were paying him. Now, we all kept our mouths shut because if we didn't we would lose our jobs. When he left the building and we got done laughing at his arrogance, we did his job, like we always did, for our 2 figure pay.\n\nMy own supervisor works very hard to spend every dollar budgeted for her division because if she doesn't she won't be able to justify such a high budget each fiscal year. They all do it. It is obscene.\n\nRecently a division cut the jobs of about 5 workers. That left them with 4 workers and 6 supervisors. There are still 6 supervisors and they all got their raises and bonuses despite the fact that the 4 remaining workers are now doing the work of 9 people and their hours have been reduced.\n\nI wish there was a way to fix this, but each time it gets brought to the public attention the uproar lasts about 2 days and then the big-wigs go right back to what they were doing and the worker who dared say something loses his job.\n\nIf you know a way to fix this let me know. I would be on board very quickly!

If you love your job, sometimes you have to bite you lip and take it. People over you will always be that way.

Jealousy, jealousy, jealousy!  It drives me nuts.  The competitive nature of some people blows my mind!\n\nThey cause WAY TOO MANY problems at work.  Trust me!\n\nSomeone is ALWAYS trying to best, back stab or torment SOMEBODY!\n\nIt's crazy.

Because you let it. Take it as a complement. Their jealous of you. Their lives suck and want you to feel the same way they do. Think of it this way, if they didn't,  your not noticed.

It's a power struggle with people like that...they really want to drag you down to their level. I just never let them.....it pisses them off, you can tell. Gotta love it!

I know exactly what you are talking about!\nI can only explain it by the other people probably not being so good at their job, and at the same time would like to be/look better than you. Having this ambition, they try anything, look for intrigues, make up lies just in order to by contrast to you, look good themselves. Try not to look so good in front of them, try to make your supervisor see without these colleagues knowing about it, try to compliment them, try to make them look good, they will feel better

Some people you click with and some you don't . I would say you are over worried and should not be. There is nothing wrong with you, you are just needing to pick better friends. It is like some places you work you get along great and with other groups of people you just don't fit in to their world. Move on and find some friends that are like you. Life will be a lot better.

They're usually very insecure people that take out their frustrations on others they perceive as an "easy" target.

BECAUSE THEY ARE MISERABLE THEMSELVES AND DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER. JUST LAUGH BECAUSE THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY THEY FEEL THREATENED BY YOUR WORK SKILLS.

The same thing happens to me, and I don't really understand either.  It might be their conceitedness, but it really depends on the person.  It takes a while to find a good person, so keep at it.  Think of it as a way to filter out the bad friends and colleagues; going for the best instead.  If they don't talk to you, maybe they're having a bad day, or even going through the same thing as you.

Maybe your previous bosses were intimidated or threatened by you because they see leadership qualities in you.  Learn what you can from them...even if its how NOT to be when you are a boss someday.
