[QUOTE=DvlshAngel985;3405429]I don't think they know how much effort I put into bringing in that agency to collaborate with us. They are also linking us to another agency that is wanting to donate 25+ computers. It's working out really well.
Your post made me smile. This is what happened to me. I was an outside hire, and took over for someone else that wanted this position. The people I work with bluntly told me how much they resented how things went down and already hated me before meeting me. The problem is they're not stopping there. I've had to have a sit down talk 3 times already with the Assistant Director. Granted, he's my immediate supervisor in the meantime, but I think it doesn't look good. He's fair, and has been very supportive even though my colleagues go to him to report my bad behavior.
I didn't do anything! I fear that eventually he's going to be tired of all the nonsense and might just let me go. Then what do I do?[/QUOTE]
You pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get back in the game. Life is not fair and that is one of the hardest lessons to learn. Failure is when you quit trying in life, not when you encounter setbacks. Setbacks are just the learning curve in life. Remember to see this as a test of fire. When you make a sword it goes into the fire and is heated and beaten into shape. Each time it comes out of the fire the blade is sharper, stronger. So look at these complications as a challenge to overcome. I started off a long time ago as one of the few women in a technical field in "Hollywood" If I was not getting harassed by the men who did not believe a woman should be doing the job, it was the women I had to deal with who resented that I was working with the boys and not in the office with them. Many years and obstacles later, even losing jobs because I was sabotaged by co- workers I am successful and proud of myself because I did it with hard work and not by undermining those I work with. I believe in myself and know that I am a good person. I still come up against obstacles but I look at them as challenges to make me stronger. Do not give up.
