I just began a new job and am in the training classes for it now. I am one race, the class (except for 2 others) are another. I am funny, generally outgoing, but can be also very withdrawn. Lately when I talk to my friend who is the same race as myself, the other people listen in and lie/manipulate/exaggerate (nothing ever said about race, politics, or other sticky subjects). I was called into the managers office today and she had a list of complaints that people had against me, and the things were stupid. The others pick on me so much, and I did nothing to them! A few things she brought up were lies. Like..
I said my two dogs barked all night and kept me awake. They lied and told the trainer that I said "they bark and are annoying just like the dogs in here" (LIE!)
One girl got in my face and tried to hit me for no reason and I said I'm going to get "Marilyn Manson". I meant become antisocial, quiet, and not have anything to do with anyone. They took it bad! And are repeating it over, and over, during training class.
I was asking about skin care and said I have bad acne breakouts sometimes. I said "my mom was mean once and said I looked like an AIDS patient or sickly because of my sores". The trainer heard this and reported me and I got fussed at for that.
Why am I under scrutiny so much? What am I doing wrong? People say how funny I am, and fun to be around. And then I hear this junk. Ugh!
