Question: At my job there are some people who make snarky remarks to me and make me feel small and incompetent. Is there a reason they do this? I go to work and do my job but they make me feel like I’m not doing anything right.
Answer from da Boss:
Hi, iloveevan!
Your natal Mercury, the ruler of communication, is in the sign of Libra, where being polite is extremely important. So it’s more difficult for you to tolerate rude remarks.
Emotional abuse can be rampant in the workplace, and most employers don’t see it as a problem. I will be featuring an article about the warning signs of emotional abuse in Monday’s newsletter. You will be able to find more in that article about recognizing emotional abuse.
Spirit suggests you discuss this problem with your supervisor or human resource department. They may be able to quiet some of those nasty coworkers. However, Spirit can also see that eventually you will leave that job because of the verbal abuse.
Live! Love! Bark!
