There isn't anything wrong with having pride and this isn't a matter of the OP being proud. Only a stup1d person would not know he doesn't know and feel insulted for being told so, an intelligent person would recognise an insult when he sees one, the OP was openly insulted, why did they hire him if he knew nothing and needed to go back to school?

Let's assume the OP got it wrong, is that the proper and professional way to let him know? Why give positive feedback only to deny later on? What sort of pettiness is that?

freecocoa:
While I understand what you said, I must say, you sounded like it's the Op's fault, so just wanna say that, OP shouldn't have to apologise for being smart and putting that smartness to work, it's the bosses and colleagues who are threatened by someone's strengths, instead of working to become better themselves, that should be ashamed.

Even if OP wasn't asked to help before he did, so long as it was with good intentions and not taking over/doing someone else's job to make that person look bad, then I think he deserves some credit.

dammytosh:


They are wrong, nobody says they are right

I feel like preaching on

" Why sit we here till we die"

Read that story from the Bible

freecocoa:
I don't know what this has to do with the bible though, and what you really mean.

dammytosh:


It means a lot.

It is a story that teaches us not to sit on a spot no matter the situation.

Just keep moving.


You cnt bury ur head down for a long time because of what people do or say about u.

You gat to pick ur self up and move on.


That statement I quoted was said by some cripple guys in the bible.

It is a very long story but I have learnt a lot about life from it.

About you moving forward no matter the situation.

Life is like a bicycle, u can only get a balance on two tyres by peddling and moving.

@enigma do our young ones read?

From being rated ok to being under probation...

And then the constant laughing to my face by my colleagues... marveling at my woe...

To criticizing my presentation after saying it was spot on before the main presentation...

Well....... I'm too downtrodden to type.

cnnamoko:
Sorry

Check my signature for any thing ICT

freecocoa:
I don't understand how what you are saying has anything to do with my post, of course you have to move on.

You were saying OP is proud(kinda blaming him), that's what I was addressing, not whether he has to move on or not.

Summary: I got to know about a consulting firm here in Lagos and without second thought, I decided to start doing freelancing with them, reason being that it will be a great opportunity for me to put into use what I learnt in school. The freelancing agreement was not without a baggage that I will get absorbed into the system once there is any chance.

Fast forward, recently, the company underwent some expansion and restructuring and I was properly interviewed for a position that fits my ability and profile. While at this, I was rated by the other higher personnel to be very okay in terms of performance as I not only deliver on time, but also assist in fixing some office computer systems that had software problems which was not part of the job prescription anyway.

Problem: It all started when we asked to do presentation on some topics. In my case, I concentrated on identifying problems and suggesting possible solutions to them, surprisingly, the feedback I got was that I wasn't right. I immediately asked for another time to re-present it and my request was granted. Now, even before the time for presentation, I did a pre-presentation to all my colleagues and they say that it was ok, but surprisingly when they were asked to air their views on my performance after the presentation proper and I was given 70/100%, only one of them gave a positive comment, the rest said almost negative stuffs concerning my performance.

The climax was when the Boss asked me to go back to school as I don't know anything.

These got much better part of me and the thought of coming to work is no longer appealing.
I can't even think straight anymore...
Staying amidst of people is no longer fascinating let alone being among colleagues in the office.
I feel like it would have been better if I never existed in the first place.

Some of them laughing to my face consistently is bullying the crap out of me.

Please how can I overcome this?

Please don't mind my punctuation... I can't think straight right now.

Hold on bro! Give it a little time,what you are passing through now will surely pass away. Just hold on a bit! Such awkward moment comes at a time when you least expected,getting over it what makes you a strong person. Stay calm and know that you can always come out of a bad situation a better man.

its oobvious ur mates are jealous of ur TOO-KNOW attitudes and for ur boss he is trying to frustrate u out of the system so that he can bring in dat his useless uncles son to replace u.gaskiya.

Puresolutions:


@Kollyk11 see wetin too much Nollywood dey do you.. e come be lyk say u even dey d office in the midst of the whole parole

Kollyk11:
my broda no be my fault oooo na wetin buhari cause ooo

ucheokpara100:
ur own is just a small office, i'm into the same thing but my own is the whole community bullying and laughing at me any where i go, just because i was rich suddenly lost everything. the lesson i learnt is if God blessed u with anything wealth or great knowledge be calm and learn 2 tolerate everything else people will undo you just because they are jealous of u.

Tamakay:
E







Don't feel bad at all it's a ploy for them to use u like Jacky and pay little. You might even be the best and your boss is using this to test ur temparament too. Keep it cool boy. I'm talking from experience

dauntless15:
How you react in this kind of situation determines the way they will treat you in future, if you cower into a corner and crawl into your shell it shows your weak and thats a quality of a cornered rat, the world is a mean place and you don't run from your problems you turn around and face it, if I'm you i would goto work, be myself strive to improve and most of all prove them wrong, or else they will always see you as the person that always gets bullied and its gonna be like high school all over again. Stop asking for thier approval of you, give them space, start being proffessional no more chit chats and thier respect for you will grow. Trust me

Codyt:

Many happy returns. Have a blast

dammytosh:


Yes....
It is element of pride that makes us feel we know a lot and once that is proven to be false, it hits us hard.

So when u calm down and try to be better no matter how good you are, it makes you see statements that says you don't know much as a challenge rather than as an insult.
