This is an email I sent a few of my friends today... I rarely talk about work on my blog... I'm not sure it is an appropriate place and I'm not always certain who reads... but remember if you are reading this and know me in real life, this is my place, my space to vent.
I just can’t work with people who don’t do teamwork. I am at the bottom of the hierarchy here and it is made WELL known. When a worker above me offers to do something nice to help me out… they are told their time can be better spent and that they don’t get paid what they do, to do that kind of work (whatever it is they were doing to help me). So how do you think that makes me feel?????? When someone thinks they are better/more important than someone else it creates huge animosity. I am tired of being made to feel like shit. Like the bottom of the garbage can. Belittled. Like I don’t matter. Like dirt. Seriously… I’ve been on the brink of tears all day… just trying to keep them in. I’m going insane. I just can’t feel like this every damn day.
Another worker has been talking to me about it… how the front desk is treated like dirt. And she said she’s always taught her kids to treat the front desk staff wherever they are working like gold… cause they are the most important part of the office, keeping everything together.
I’m not stupid. I’m smart. I went to 4 years (5 actually) of college for goodness sakes, I have a degree. I have run a Planned Parenthood clinic. I have run a gift shop. I run a household. So why am I feeling like I’m . that big… and I’m letting her GET TO ME?
Tonight I feel drained, exhausted, beat down and sad. I need some sleep and am hoping tomorrow will be a better day. One things for sure, it's Friday, so that makes it better already!

I am so sorry!!!! That is never a good situation to be in. I don't know where people get their sense of entitlement, but I would love to knock them off their high horse. Hope you had a relaxing evening and that your Friday brings you a better, more stress free day! xox
Girl, hang in there.
Ever think this woman treats you like this cause you seem to have it all - great husband who loves you, beautiful little girl who is the apple of your eye, wonderful and supportive family??
Maybe she hates you cause' she wants to be you!!!!! :)
We are all in YOUR corner.....

I know all too well how you feel. I am made to feel that way all the time; constantly overlooked. The thing that bothers me the most is that I have a bachelor’s degree and the other person in my department was made VP last year and she lied on her resume saying she has a degree when she does not (which I’ve known since she started working here 7 years ago). It is so hard to go to work every day when you don’t feel appreciated and having children makes it even more difficult since you’d much rather be with them anyway. It sucks but I hope that things turn around for you there and they start appreciating you.
That sucks. I am so sorry that they make you feel that way.
I hate that feeling...it is like being in Middle school or something..
Let's shoot for TUESDAY or WED. next week...what time?
Gosh..that sucks. You're probably more educated that some of the people above you; that's what is really depressing about it.
Honey I hope this week is soo much better for you. I would hate going to a place and feeling like that. I will be so thrilled the day I find out that you are quiting!!
