What is wrong with some people!!

1 minute read time.

For those who know me, I am a fight-able but lovable old bat. I am reaching the 11th month into remission from,Ovarian, bowel, womb, stomach and ormental cancers and I went back to work in October last year as Internal head door supervisor after a year of hell and 10 months to recover, to get fit and strong again so that my work mates could feel that I was well enough to do my job again and resume working together again as a team................they have let me down completely and I am so angry at the moment.

I fought like a mad woman and almost lost my battle with cancer but luckily for me I came through, I struggled to get myself strong with the help of exercise and physio I got there and what do I find as happened, my so called work mates are not covering my butt, I struggled with a guy who tried to rip my head off and some of my doorman just stood there, nice, they seem to think that because I had had cancer and I am back that I can work alone, they have become lazy and I do my job right, I have had to tell them off for not doing their jobs and they don't like it, how sad is that. This is so childish  it is unreal. Yes I am a strong female and yes I am one of their bosses but they are threatened by me because I work well and I am popular. Sorry guys I just needed to get this off my chest, it is bad enough fighting cancer, I didn't expect to have to fight my friends also, well those who I thought were friends. They know my cancer could return at anytime but I have dented their male egos. Shame on me....love Carol xx

    I think you answered your own question Carol.  

    Just keep doing what you're doing mate, my only concern is that they might be putting you in danger by not "pitching in".  SHAME ON THEM!!!!

    Hi ya Carol

    What FRIENDS or workmates would leave one of their own and not help out. I know what I would do, the next time one of them was in trouble.  But youre not like that, and they call themselves men or mates my arse.

    Take care be Safe. Sarsfield.xx

    Hope they're hanging their heads in shame. I'm not at all surprised that you are a dedicated and popular worker, you are a person with gutsy spirit. Let's hope the lazy s***s get a reality check.

    Hi Carol

    They are no work colleagues if they treat you like that, lazy b******s more like.

    Don't let this get you down & if you have to report them then DO IT !!

    I think the problem is twofold. One is that they probably got used to being without you. I can imagine that as their gaffer they looked up to you and worked for you but then got used to being without you. The void that you left will have been filled by someone and they probably resent your return. The second issue is cancer itself. People deal with it, or rather don't deal with it in different ways and I don't think they have taken on board the seriousness of your ordeal. Perhaps they view you as superhuman - how the hell DID you go through what you did? So what's the answer? Carry on regardless. It's their loss if they lose your friendship and experience.

    Keep smiling,

    love
