Dealing with coworkers
This is basically just a rant about work but to all the employed people, I'd like some advice I work weekends but i was told to come in on a weekday so i did and i had one of the worst days of my short employed life so far. First of all, this lady that has been training me for most of the time has been doing almost the opposite of what the supervisor had told me to do and when another lady from another shift went to tell her something that i did that i guess wasnt okay she told me later "I dont want you to say, oh [she] taught me this" LIKE HELLO?? I DIDNT EVEN MAKE A MISTAKE BIG ENOUGH TO WARRANT HER FEELING HYPOTHETICALLY EMBARASSED BY WHAT I DID.
Second, there was an old lady working that day that i just did nottt like. I greeted her with a nod like i do everybody when i saw her looking at me but she never returned a smile or even talked to me until way later when she was looking for something and assumed I was the one who placed it somewhere else. I told her what happened and then she practically ignores me and grabs the thing she needed right where i was BUSY and ignored all my actions to help her. She even shoved a chair into my side and didnt bother to say sorry or spare me a glance. She was super loud too there was no reason for her to be yelling at me like that when the whole area was quiet. The whole time i was there, she just kept looking at me. Not even talking to the other ladies that were next to her but just quietly staring at me it was creepy and felt judgemental.
Anyways I have to go back there soon and its likely im going to see her. But what am i supposed to do about having to work with unpleasant people? Im going to follow what the supervisor says to do, but id hate to be watched like that again by that old lady. Do i just gotta suck it up guys :/
Just follow what the supervisor says, don't listen to them old ladies. Also remember, who the fuck cares. Honestly, who gives a fuck about them grown ass women. I imagine you're working part-time so remember this job is nothing. It's not going to affect you in anything. Now, if you're an intern your fucked. Actually, ignored my whole comment.

Just act overly nice and cooperative all the time. I've hated plenty of my coworkers and we got along great at work anyway because I was soooooo nice and agreeable (minus the fact that I was beating them to death in my imagination for several hours of every day). It's work, just do what u have to do to get through it. reply
Just interact with her as little as possible would be my advice. Don't let her get to you and let her look like the crazy lady she is when she's yelling. Try to ignore her when she stares at you or ask her if she needs anything because she keeps looking at you. There are weird as people out there. I also encountered some at my job. Idk what the old...... reply
Gonna be honest with you, there are unpleasant coworkers in most jobs. Don't take how they act to heart. I can't say it ain't stressful to work with people like that. Acknowledge how they act, and unless they are being downright hurtful try to let it go. It's not easy but it's a skill that comes with time. reply
Just do your job, keep evidence you did your job and of the people who told you your job, and when shit hits the fan, prove that you DID the job and that you did what they told you to.
If you don't intend on keeping the job, wait for when she does it again and list out point by point all the shit she did when you know the manager is there and hand...... reply
Old people act like that ‘cause they know you won’t fight back they’re defenseless, and if you get rude to them, you instantly become the worst person ever. They kinda take advantage of that. Otherwise…Just follow your boss's instructions, be polite, don't interrupt, and don't take his behavior personally. Log in, do your job, get paid. Le...... reply
