I've worked a job for almost 10 months, and I guess you can say I've hated it since day 1. I stuck it out, because it's only a year-long job, and the end of one year I receive a scholarship and a bonus which was the reason why I took the job to begin with. Anyway, I have enough horror stories from the past 10 months, but I've managed to survive. I've cried, threatened to quit, blah blah, but I've always talked myself into staying for the rewards at the end. However, today just set me over the edge. I was degraded by a coworker for not knowing my work schedule, or so she says, when I showed up EARLY for work. She has a higher position than I do, but she isn't my direct boss. I felt so horrible to be treated like a 2-year old, that I left. Now I'm afraid she's going to tell my boss what happened, and of course, he'll take her side. I know I could get in trouble for leaving, but I couldn't stay there anymore. Any advice on how to survive the next 2 months?

I don't think I really do want to quit, because I would have done that months ago and spared myself a lot of misery. The light is at the end of the tunnel, I just don't know how to save my sanity between now and then. I've never worked for such incompetent people...Any advice appreciated.

This is hard, but it can be done...Go to work each day, do your job and then go home. Don't take anything personally that is said to you by co-workers. Next time something like this happens, just smile, nod and go to your station and get to work. Remind yourself why you are there and renew your commitment to yourself to get through the next two months. We all have to do things we don't like, but your reward for the year of torture sounds like it is worth the effort. Hang in there....the next two months are filled with holidays so they should pass fairly quickly!!

Make a serious plan to tell the lady off when the job is over and you got the scholarship. Either make a plan to tell her off intelligently or just tell her she is a bit**. Every time she goes off on you go to that place in your mind where you will tell her off. Be nice to her while you are in your safe place. Chances are when it is all said and done you will feel so good that the bit** won't matter any more. You will truly feel like the triumphant one.

Stick it out for 2 more months. Tell your boss about it, and how she made you feel, but do not complain.

honey you only have 2 months left? please stick it out! screw that brat that said something to you. you came in EARLY, not LATE! I would much rather have employees that arrive early. If she is not your direct boss, just ignore her if you can. and remember...only 2 months left!
good luck!

think to yourself that your top sh*t, don't let idiot coworkers get you. Say to yourself "I am Woman hear me roar".
