I am a new hire and had to ask my coworker, who is handing over his project to me, a question. He didn't let me finish or get a word into the conversation, and then started screaming at me in front of our peers. He always wants to leave early, and today was no different. Having a question five minutes before his departure any other time is something I would normally save for the next day; however, this was an emergency and only something he would know---as a new employee, I would not.
When my shift ended, I went to my car and started crying. This is something I have never done, but I was so humiliated in front of my coworkers. As a new hire from a corporation into a government setting, I am having an already hard-enough time adjusting...advice on how to handle this? |

All the comments thus far, sum it up nicely. Do all of the above-- and don't feel you are the one that has the problem. I am a 40+ worker that had a 30 something as a manager. She was so insecure that she tried to isolate me from the rest of the staff, deliberately keep pertinet information from me, try to start arguments with me in staff meetings and in the end, even though I quit first, she was fired on Halloween !!! Fitting justice for the witch!!!
