why are people always "hating" on you just to be doing something. always on my job there's somebody trying to establish a pecking order. if you are at the top of the list, it is expected that you get special considerations and should be heard over everyone else. never the mind if this practice is right or wrong. it's just the norm just about everywhere you go.  i do my best to be respectful of the position of others and to keep a low profile. is this an open invitation to be treated as inferior? 

me, myself i new here and spent most of my working career in a total different region. i've paid my dues in my area of expertise, and gathered a lot of experience along the way. it is for this reason, i may voice my opinion about what i am most familiar with. but sadly, the people who rate their importance on class  and/or position feel the right to tell you how you should go about doing your job. and pray they don't have a friend in the company doing the same job as you. forever a comparision-and you will never measure up to the wonderful job that person is doing. no matter how many times after listening to the praises of the friend, i repy "yes this person does a great job and i have benefitted from their knowledge-behind my back they are working to discredit me. even when i remark "we are colleagues and supportive of one another. it doesn't make a difference. i get so weary of this game and  don't feel the need bow down to the existing "go- to " people. why can't we just work together on a common goal.

i was always brought up to believe that there's no "little you" and "big me"- everyone is important in their own right and should be allowed to participate. beliefs that are so out of date. nowdays you network and establish relationships-develop your "clicks" and do not allow folks in-not unless they are willing to play according to the rules.

trying to reduce your stress level in this day any time is next to impossible- and you wonder why people turn to drugs alcohol for relief. having religion and/or positive thinking is good - belief that it work in a crisis is harder to achieve. i try not to return to that "angry" person i used to be-people certainly took notice and responded. however, in the long run-this method was not beneficial. i try to pick my battles now. more time thinking the best way to handle a situation. but in either case- the "in" crowd makes it their business to bring you down or just isolate you. which is worse? sooner or later the "good" people will give in to their power and pressure.....

just tired of starting over and never really fitting in...............
