Is this normal in a workplace...please answer ?

Question

also, there was this asian girl who was new and she speaks English but has an accent. I was sitting in my cubicle and I heard her asking one of those coworkers a work-related question and they responded by just making noises - mimicking her accent and it was loud everyone could hear it... so there was also racism.

Answer 1

No, that's absolutely not normal. Something very strange is going on there. That sounds like cruel and unusual abuse.

Answer 2

Thats absolutely terrible and I feel bad for you. No human should be treated this badly.

Why were they even picking on you? Do you have any ideas? Some people are shallow. Maybe because of your religious or political views? Sexual orientation? Ethnicity? Physical Appearance?

There is no good reason for them to pick on you... I am just trying to wonder why they were attacking you so much. It sounds almost like a bunch of Grade 7 students.

Final answer. No it isn't normal at all.  

Answer 3

no...its not normal at all.If you can prove it happened, you can sue them for loss of earnings and stress. If it ever happens again, keep a diary of what happened, date and time, what was said or done and also record things on your phone secretly, you know, comments and conversations, even get a mini camera put in ur clothes (u can get off net for very cheap) and film a weeks insults...there arelaws against this, and ppl have done what I have described and they have won millions in payouts from the courts. Its called harrasment, and its not normal never happend once to me and Ive had about 10 jobs) and if its racial, then you can def. win millions of pounds/dollars as this is against the law.

Answer 4

No, this is not normal. This is extremely immature, if you ask me. I think there was some jealousy going on. You'll find a better job where your coworkers will respect you. Don't worry. It's not like this everywhere you go.

Answer 5

no, you are probably young and pretty.  you have a lot going for you. and those around you found it fair to tease and make fun of you behind your back because they were "haters" and envious of you and your situation.  next time, don't put up with that BS for 5 months.  that's what you call a HORRIBLE JOB!
