Help! Was I wrong to have this outburst toward two coworkers?

I have been working for the city in their Public Works Department. My division is devided up into groups of people who get along. Since i've been there, i've worked my butt off and I have had several coworkers literally tell me I should go back to my old job, that i'm a horrible worker, that I should learn how to use a shovel, and try to get me fired behind my back. On top of that, one coworker is always talking down to me and demanding I do things in a very rude way and he does it constantly. Today, he and another guy I don't get along with came up and started talking down to me again and I snapped. I told them off, told them I was sick and tired of their bull**** and them disrespecting me, and told them to basically *** off. Shortly after, in the locker room, I got in yet another argument with one of the guys that ended the same way. I feel bad for losing my composure, but i've been dealing with this for weeks and they do this to a lot of my other coworkers that are good workers.Help!

For this very reason, we should not bottle things up inside. However, we all have done this one time or another. They deserved what they got! You had every right to stand up for yourself. You stated you work your butt off, so it's not like you are a slacker getting upset because they are trying to get you fired.



You can change jobs but why? There are people like this everywhere. What? Give them what they want and quit? No way! They are just jealous of you. Your boss has no complaints right? I would make their day and stay there.



Blow them off. It's like a school bully. Do you leave school because of some crap talking idiots? Heck no! Stand your ground, get your days work in and forget about them!



I say, good for you!! :0) Take care! Remember trash is everywhere!!!Help! Was I wrong to have this outburst toward two coworkers?
Go get another job. Remember ';Living well is the best revenge!';
You did nothing wrong, sometimes one need to speak up and stand up for them self. You did good. never let no one do this to you. OK you say there is another job in your way, then go and take it it is better to work in peace and if your having a hard time with this low liefs, then take off.

Stay well and always try to be happy. Let those loose rs take it up With themselves.
