So today, 2 co-workers and I were kind of complaining briefly about another woman we work with, about how she can be really rude sometimes. So one of the co-workers says to me, "Well no offense Lauren, it was how she was raised. She''s your religion, and they''re all rude and pushy people. Everyone one of you I''ve met has been this way." (This is NOT the first time she''s said something like this to me about my religion.)
So needless to say I was LIVID. No offense, BUT...??? How is that not offensive?? You just insulted my entire family! I told her to get away from my desk, and to not talk to me about this anymore.
I told my supervisor, and she was really upset and said she''d talk to said coworker. Now said coworker is gossiping about me, and won''t even look me in the eye. She''s told at least one other coworker.
Trying to keep this conversation not about the religion itself, but just about about hurtful people in the workplace. How do you deal with this? I feel like I''ve been made the bad person, when all I did was stand up for what I believe in. How can she say something so rude and hurtful, yet I''M the bad guy? I''m still upset and this happened like 4 hours ago. I''m really trying to stay strong on this one, I tend to be a little meek... but I KNOW I didn''t do anything wrong. I just hate having bad relationships with coworkers.
I''m so angry!!!
