Comments from co-workers

kiwipip

Hi everybody,

I was wondering how people cope with co-workers making comments towards you such as telling me I’m over thinking if I’m struggling to understand what somebody is inferring or how to interpret a situation. I think if I made comments like that to any of my colleagues I would possibly be reported for bullying and marginalising behaviour, however it doesn’t seem to work the other way around. 

I don’t want to disclose to my co-workers that I have autism as In the past I have found this actually increases bullying and harassment and obsessive behaviour towards myself but I also don’t want to be discriminated against with off hand comments so I now generally keep quiet and internalise things I may normally query. Will this likely to be resolved in a cliquey culture and is it something worth bringing up with my manager if I don’t know them that well. Should I talk to somebody outside of my team first? 

any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated

    Yes,100%, I am not going to join them when I can beat them. 

    Reasons - the law, freedom of conscience, not to be intimidated or manipulated, not to have truth or trust exploited, not to allow intelligence and intelligent people to be surpressed. 

    Part of the problem with work is not everyone follows procedures. There are people who will never behave or will always undermine systems. This is to some extent never fully disallowed or protected against. Often policies and workplace laws only act as a disclaimer to say that they did things in the best knowledge. Not in the interest say of someone employed under an equal opportunities scheme.

    They could be much better companies, athentically pursuing missions. instead we have a lot of slovenly people doing the minimum they can possible. This affects the performance of entire industries, whereby the overall performance becomes mediocre and accepted as normality.  There are so many people in safe jobs working as a team to force decent people out, in order to keep the complicit system alive.  

    Rant over. ;
