I'm talking about the kind of coworkers who will do everything in their power to push all my buttons, and instigate me to the point of setting me off! Which is exactly what they want so they can get me fired from my job! This has happened to me several times (like yesterday) and I'm already on probation. So I can't afford any more incidents. I have medication to help me calm down, but it's just not fair. Specially I when go out of my way to be nice to everyone and mind my own business. And forget about me taking this to my supervisor or higher ups. I've already gone that route and since they don't like me, or my transition, they were the ones to put me in probation! Anyway, I've been awake since two AM tonight, wondering if I need to call in sick today, or super medicate myself to get thru the day?
Find a new job, life's too short to waste it in situations that make you unhappy. You can't change stupid people so every day you spend there is another day not spent somewhere that makes you happy.
I know it's super easy to say that compared to actually finding a new job but if you apply yourself to find something better then sooner than later you'll find yourself somewhere that makes you feel respected, wanted and happy.
There is no resolution to the problem. Sadly the fools will not accept you and management supports the fools.
As Muffin said, it is time to move on. I realise that is tough but read your post again. There is no way these people will support you.
Sorry
Cindy
I also agree, as Muffin and Cindy said, find a new job, stay there until you find a new job and then tell them off before you leave or atleast tell them how low they are or how the cow ate the cabage, you know stuff like that :)
I hope you find a new better job fast, aloha.

Ear plugs or a ipod playing music all day long ;D
Mrs. Johnson.
I too have been in your position and I'm pretty sure others here have as well.
The reality is, you can't win. Sadly, that means doing what has been suggested and moving on.
The difficulity would seem to be finding another job. Take your time though.
Once you do, in your notice period, try to think of those things which brought you to the notice of these bullies and avoid doing the same in your new job.
Wow, thanks y'all. Those were all wonderful suggestions! I was actually thinking the same thing, find another job.
I just have to try to hang in there until my HRT begins and my laser hair removal is complete. I want to find a new job being transitioned as much as I can.
Anyway, I ended up calling in sick to work today. I just couldn't face dealing with all those idiots again, not today anyway.
Thanks again for your support!
Hugs, Mrs. J
Sorry that the people at your workplace are such jerks. We're here for you, and sending you hugs via the interwebs. ;D
We're here... but we're not the ones paying for OP's livelihood either.
Do what you have to do, whatever works. If it means keeping the job until another job comes then do that.
Ditto to all the above, just lots of support from me.
At least you have a job now, and it is always easier to find another job when you are employed for some reason.

Hi Y'all,
Some bad news and some good news...
The bad news:
My coworkers and my boss broke me down last Thursday.
I couldn't stand their abuse anymore and I decided to committ suicide.
On my way home, after work, I called my husband to say goodbye to him and tell him that I loved him.
But he begged me not to kill myself; instead, he convinced me to go see my trans therapist.
Later, my trans therapist called an ambulance and they took me to the hospital. I was hospitalized from 7-14 to 7-18.
The good news is:
Now, I feel 100% better. My trans therapist and my husband, both saved my life (Along with the very caring staff at the hospital).
I am taking two new medications; and dosages for those medications that I was already taking have been increased.
But unfortunately, while I was hospitalized, I found out my company had suspended me without pay... indefinitely!
I haven't started HRT and I just barely had one laser treatment! So, if I don't have any money for my transition, therapies, or anything, what am I going to do??
Hopefully, I can find another job, even though I doubt I'll find anything worthwhile soon.
Sorry, for venting like this. But this whole issue has put me soooooo behind on my transition!!!! I feel like I'm never gonna make it to where I want to be. :(
I can't stand ->-bleeped-<-s like that, and it pains me that couldn't stand up for you. I suppose you can't report them for all their ->-bleeped-<-.
Hi Trista, thanks for your support! I really appreciate it :)
I send you hugs! And thank you for not dying and stuff, a lot of people would be missing you right now. But personally I think you've made a big step in your life (not financially, maybe, but in other very important ways), and you'll be all the better for it when you do transition. :)
sorry to hear all the bad, but keep an eye on the future as you wish it to be. the past is behind, be who you are to be and never stop believing. sending you a hug :-*
