It's critical to be content at work with both your tasks and your coworkers, managers, and peers. Coworker relationships play a significant role in how content you are with your job, and those who are pleased with their work are frequently more creative, productive, and collaborative.

In the unfortunate event that you are dealing with a persistent problem at work, you must be able to digest it and deal with it in a way that doesn't jeopardize your success. It can be so tiring when someone you work with says or does things that can cause others to doubt your expertise, morals, or professionalism.

Being undercut at work has numerous unfavorable effects, but one of the most concerning is that your superiors and coworkers can stop respecting you if they have an untrue impression of who you are as a worker or a peer. The original poster of today's story has been working as a legal assistant with a law firm for just over six years.

She actually walked off the job yesterday in a fit of rage, and here's why. OP's employer hired a new associate who took it upon herself to treat her like absolute sh*t.

As a legal assistant, the OP's duties are legal-related, but this new associate assigned the OP her personal duties. Keep reading to find out what caused the OP to quit her job in a fit of rage.
