Can they, yes. Should they, no. Most people are judgemental and that's never going to change. Let them think what they want. Do a good job and work hard, let your actions speak for themselves.

I would stop worrying what others think about you. Go about your work and do the best job you can.
People are people. People arn't Gods. We all make mistakes. It is part of life. You have to learn to deal with all the curve balls life throws at you. Make the best of it.
People at your Dad's company may be small minded and resent you because they will view you as unfireable and undeserving of being hired. Let them stew in their hate.
If you do the best job you can and be the best person you can be - then in time no one will believe it if anyone says something bad about you.
Don't be afraid to face down an enemy once in a while. Don't get physical, just be civil and to the point and let them know you won't take their slander.

Yes they can and yes they will.
It may not be right.
But think of the alternative: You could have lied to them and told them that you were still in school very part time but in order to make it you needed a good job. Then you would be a liar. (but it would get them off your back)
I have noticed you have been asking a lot of questions about work. Are you younger? Like 25-ish?
If that is the case then there is a very simple explanation for almost all of your questions. People are jealous of your age and opportunity.

First, talking with a filthy mouth only works in their favor. Clean up your act and go back to school. People will always judge others regardless. There's nothing you can do about it and you're probably guilty of it yourself. Show some self-respect, talk intelligently and if people bother you, stand up for yourself and tell them that you find their words or actions offensive and stop it. Otherwise, report them.

Well, they can do it, but any time any of us judges another, we should consider it inappropriate behavior (maybe morally incorrect is a little strong).
Let them make judgments, and know the truth for yourself. Time will prove them wrong, and they will eventually realize the error of their ways.
P.S.
If you have the opportunity to finish school, you probably should...Not that it makes you smarter, but certainly it does make you more employable in the future.

In re: "Your not a smart cookie after all" She at least appears to know the difference between a possessive ("your") and a contraction ("you're"). People in glass houses...

They can, but it's not morally correct. Doesn't sound like a nice bunch of people.

reallypablo's answer was Great.
Anyhow, technically you dropped out of school so that is bad but to be honest it just sounds like they are just jealous. Don't take much notice of them, you're better than that. x

They're a bunch of jerks. Don't sink to their level by saying anything and giving them ammunition. Keep your head high honey.
