Hi all - Was hoping to get possible advice on how to approach a rapidly deteriorating situation at my current place of work:
Iām a male military veteran who used my GI Bill to go back to school for a B.S. in health sciences - What I saw as a āstepping stoneā degree to higher education in the healthcare field. Iām currently working in the WIC program which is a little outside of what I was looking for, but is not bad as my first job out of college. The only problem is, all of my coworkers and teammates at WIC are women - No problem with this, but I just feel completely ostracized and out of place at work everyday although Iāve tried to the best of my ability to be social and friendly with everyone. And because of the rampant gossip I hear about other coworkers behind their backs, I know that Iām being gossiped about & talked about behind my back as well. Furthermore, Iāve done the best I can at this job with the tools and knowledge Iāve been given but there has been little to no job training done outside of computer-based powerpoint training and it seems that youāre not appreciated for what you do correct and do well, but heavily chastised when you make a mistake - Many times on things Iāve never been taught in the first place.
Alongside this, it seems that my boss is playing favoritism with a new girl that was hired a few months after me - Praising her, giving her a position above me as community outreach coordinator and internship coordinator in front of me (idk if this was to try and motivate me or maybe demean me in some way..??) The new girl was even given her employee orientation before me - To date, Iāve worked for WIC for 5 months now and never received a proper employee orientation. I just canāt hell but feel that everyone else is being held to a different set of standards and rules than I am. Itās making me absolutely miserable at work all day every day - sick to my stomach most days. Sunday nights are the worst and I begin getting anxious, depressed and nauseous. Just today (9/21/20) I was running a little behind and came in at the same time as new girl, nobody said anything to new girl but I was asked for a reason as to why I was late this morning and before leaving for home at the end of the night, my boss said she had to do a review with me tomorrow (Iām assuming it will be pertaining to my being late this morning).
Sorry for the long post, was just hoping somebody could offer some insight or advice to my situation. Anything is appreciated - Positive, negative, etc.
TL;DR: Male working at WIC, completely out of place and miserable due to lack of communication, training, gossip and favoritism to the point of being nauseous at work everyday, wondering what my options are for other jobs requiring a bachelorās in the healthcare field.
