Thanks guys I appreciate your input

And yeah, Suesie, like you, I got bullied in high school (and elementary too..). Not the best. I kind of expected better from grown ass adults, only to become a grown ass adult and realize that some people will still behave like we're a bunch of catty 12/13 year old girls. It's totally unnecessary. I'd say like 99% of the time, I don't care; people will be dicks, right? But it still sucks. I've overall developed a thicker skin and definitely tend to feel anger (instead of sadness) when things get ridiculous nowadays, which is probably better in some ways.

Holly, thanks for agreeing that you think it sounds like bullying, especially the manager. I just wish I was in a different company where I had the power to even think about dealing with such issues; here I just have to basically let it go, it sucks. Kind of makes me wish I was the sort of quiet person people didn't notice, but I'm fairly outgoing.
