Bitches
I have had a particularly shitty day in work, and out of work too.
Work is bad enough without the bitches who, frankly, seem to be intent on Bullying Sarah.
Sarah is a tough cookie, but even she is getting tired and upset by the snidey, off the cuff allegedly 'jokey' comments by certain members of the team.
On wednesday they to all intents and purposes accused her of being a bad mother, today it was belittling her about not making them a cuppa, despite the fact she goes and makes tea and coffee for everyone several times a day, and we're lucky if Yvone, the biggest bitch of them all, ever gets up off her fat arse to get her own drink never mind anyone elses. I nearly had a heart attack when she got up and asked if anyone wanted a drink today, but as she was only doing it to make a nasty point, and refused to get Sarah a drink, I don't think it counts.
And then they had a crack at me about going to the butty shop. Yvonne from now on named bitchwhore, had offered to go. Normally they don't bother asking us down the nice end of the desks, but they did this time, and then bitchwhore and Mark pipe up...'isn't it your turn to go?'
I just looked at Cat and said 'I don't think I'll bother this time'. I've been three times in the last fortnight, and whenever I ask if people want stuff most people...Mark, Bitchwhore etc, say no. That's not my fault. Mark I think has been twice in the last six weeks, and Bitchwhore maybe teice or three times. And it's fucking a hell of a lot easier for them to go cos they can see where they're fucking well going.
I don't begrudge getting butties and that for people, but I object to being made to feel small and embarrassed in front of people, when they know damned well I don't deserve it.
Oh and then the bitchwhore volunteered Amanda for having people sit with her, only because she wasn't there, and everyone else had declined it.. Other people could have been volunteered, but bitchwhore thinks Amanda won't argue about it. I think she may be wrong there.
Morale on the team is at an all time low, and the main reason is bitchwhore.. She's nasty, loud, obnoxious and opinionated, and she's making Sarah's life a misery, getting me down about a job I already hate, and turning team mebers against eachother by shit stirring and back stabbing.
I'd have a word with Ali, our line manager, but I've a feeling she's sitting on the wrong side of the fence on this one. The only other alternative is to go to my HEO and express my concerns, but that is just going to stir up a whole lot of nasty shit, that I'd rather not get into. I think I'll have a word with Ali, as line manager she has a duty of care to all her staff, not just the bolshy, bitchy, morale destroying, bullying ones. What they are doing to Sarah is tantamount to bullying, and in that case, I have a duty to report her.
Monday morning I'll have a quiet word with Ali. If nothing's done about bitchwhore, even if it's only an informal 'stop pissing people off' chat with her, then I'm considering asking for a transfer off the team, and Id feel bad about leaving Sarah and Amanda in that environment, but if I don't go, or bitchwhore isn't lowered a peg or two, then I'm just going to eith get more and more miserable about it all, or I'm gonna snap, and say (or shout) something very unprofessional at her.
It will probably include the words fuck, bitch, and off. Plus any other choice phrases I can think of at the time.

christ I hate bullies, I couldn't work in that sort of inviroment. It's all so petty and childish.
I think you are doing really well to cope with it and not tell them to fuck off, but you have a right not to be spoken to like that. You should try your line manager, and if that doesn't work maybe a transfer is a good idea.
I think I'd probably get to the point where I'd tell them to leave me alone, stop being so petty and not sek to me, but then I'm a wimp so I'd have to be at the end of my tether!
Another reason for you to look forward to the councelling course methinks :).
