hi guys,

i have been looking for someone to share my sad feelings and i thought this is the right one. i am working in one primary school in asean country, it is like the 'culture' of the people here that they are very envy with the achievements and better postions of others.
whenever communication breakdown happens in the school, they always try to point their finger to me (as a new teacher) and they always try to highlight any of my small mistakes as a 'licence' to bully me and now they are trying to influence my close collagues to isolate me...
i am very sad and i feel not motivated with such working environment .... i hope your words may console and inspire my soul....
many thanks

its true especially

when you are new in that place,

when you are talented,

when you are more competent than the rest,

what's the reason

because you might get their position,

people will admire you

all eyes are on you.

JEALOUSY and WICKEDNESS

just do your job and be friendly

Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that's where you will find success

Politics is there in every place and the intensity changes with place. I suggest you do your work to the best of your abelity and forget the rest. Do not pay attention to what others say and i feel you are a soft person and always the soft and calm people are victims of this treatment. I am sure if you were agressive people will be frightned and keep you away from all this mess. You may call me in case you need my help on 6543315

try to be better than others, avoid any even small mistakes, be initiative and active, with the positive attitude. People like strong personality, weakness of others is heavily used and abused everywhere..

....rania.abdul, I'm sorry you feel the way you do, but yes, with success, there would always be jealousy and unscrupulous competition led by unprincipled colleagues.

Unhealthy working environment in most places;

Try to be Yourself, least bother of others and be confident in your personal approach and working style;

Be friendly and confide with few.

Insha Allah everything will be fine soon.

Take care and cheers

Office politics are common everywhere. That is a part of adult life you have to adjust to. Don't let the minor things affect you and learn to play the game otherwise you will be stuck at the bottom rung.
