I’m baffled.
I have a job. I’ve been in my current company for four years. I’ve been in multiple types of accounting jobs since 1996. I have a degree. I get stellar performance reviews.
And yet…
My coworkers treat me like I’m an idiot. They’re constantly telling me things I need to do – which I have typically already done. They’re constantly telling me (and my boss) that I’ve made mistakes – which someone else made or that I made because the person tattling on me gave me bad information. They tell lies about me behind my back that they don’t realize get back to me. They “explain” things to me that I actually explained to them first. They insult me to my face, or whisper loudly to one another so that I can hear what they say about me.
And yet…
When they have a problem with one of the programs we use, especially Excel, they ask me how to fix it. When an unidentified payment comes in, they ask me what it is. When they don’t know how to send a payment out, they ask me. When they need foreign exchange rates, they ask me. When their computer does something wonky, they ask me how to fix it before calling IT. When they need coding on a transaction, they ask me. When they can’t figure out how to reconcile an account, they ask me.
And yet…
They congratulated me when I took over my former boss’s job two years ago, but they complained to the controller that I didn’t deserve it. When I was moved into a window office, they went en masse into the boss to try to get me removed. They don’t finish tasks that I need to complete my work on time, but they complain when I can’t make my deadlines. They won’t give me information I need, but I drop everything when they have a question. They don’t ask me to go to lunch or coffee or to get bagels, but complain to my boss that I won’t socialize with them. They whine that I don’t contribute, but ignore me when I do.
Would someone like to explain this to me? Because I am clearly not understanding something.
