    Hi would really appreciate some advice on this. The atmosphere where I work is very tense at the moment. I'm really stressed out and although I'm trying not to let it get to me even now I'm letting it overwhelm me which I shouldn't. I tried to resolve the situation by trying to find out what if anything I had done wrong. The manager said to me that my work is good he has no problem with that, he said we are just like oil and water, we just don't get on. We used to when he started. I was told that he hates the job (it shows, other staff I think have noticed but will say nothing). I am the assistant manager so feel like I'm in an awkward position. He has even said that it's like a breath of fresh air when I'm not here. I don't know what to do I have no other choice but to work with him which I try to do professionally but he would prefer to have no interaction with me. Has anyone else been in a similar situation? and how do I stop stressing about it? I used to get along well with him but realised that I couldn't keep saying what a great job they were doing etc every day. That was ok when they started and where saying they didnt like the job but its over a year now since they started.

    Im a student- but dont org's have policies you can read up on bullying? and how to make formal complaints?

    Since when are you supposed to like or get along with the people you work with?? I dont understand how people cant just go to work and stfu without having to undermine or insult others. Theyre obviously incredibly lacking as individuals, but thats not much comfort if you have to be around them 5 hours a day.

    Look into the employee rule book or something. IF it were my company I would welcome complaints because I would have 0 toleralance policy for assholes into belitting others. If your staff are under stress or being bullied, theyre losing you money... most employers should see it that way.

    just go to work and do your job. you're not there to please anyone but yourself ... unless you want to be popular, then that's your choice

    Hi thanks for the feedback. No I'm not interested in being popular but I find the whole situation undermining and logically I know I shouldn't let it get to me but it does and I don't want it to start affecting my work and personal life. I can't ignore this person, it's gotten to a stage where I'm almost afraid to say anything to them in case they think I'm having a go at them. Just wondered if anyone was ever in a similar situation and how they resolved it. Is making a complaint the way to go or will it just make things worse. It's a small business with less than 20 people working there.
