Just recently started job, very prestigious trainee position at Governor's budget office... the person who was supposed to train me is totally sherking her responsibility and management very simply doesn't want to hear about it. I slipped and griped a bit about her to some co-workers, and I get the feeling I've poisoned the waters and now I feel very ostracized... Everyone is right around my cubicle laughing and joking and conversing, and I feel very clearly closed out, as if the court of public opinion has silently written me off as Mr. Bad Fit. Supervisor is very curt with me, and I feel almost as if people wretch at the thought of me coming up and talking with them. I want to prove myself by doing what I do best (ie working) but no one's giving me real work or training me. No longer being brought to meetings, etc. Feels like hell. What do I do?

hang in there. Starting a job is frustrating and it seems like they want to see how far you they can push you. Stick it out and show them your the better man. Just keep your eyes and ears open and mouth closed. Good luck!

Call in sick. Then apply for disability - nervous breakdown as a result of first-day-at-work anxiety. If you're going to enter public service and work for the government, this is a good entry level opportunity to milk the system.
