In response to A difficult co-worker or office bully posted by orianna12345:
I can relate. I recently started a new job and the environment is really unpleasant. I brought up my concerns with my supervisor who noticed I was unhappy and urged me to tell her what was wrong. I told her I felt that some of my co-workers had been hostile since the day I started and that one coworker had chastized me very harshly in front of the whole office for a minor mistake which had really upset me. My supervisor voiced concerns that it was me, not my co-workers, who was the problem and that she was 'concerned'for me (not in a good way). I have decided after weighing my options to resign because conflict seems to be pervasive in the office, but I am worried that it will look bad on my resume to leave a job after a few months. How do I explain that to possible future employers?
