I’ve been working alone for about a year and my co-workers hate me. How can I get out of this?

Dear Good Job: My co-workers kind of hate me.

They don't speak to me unless absolutely required.

They feel like I brought too much attention to the department.

Keep CCing your boss on emails- it’s good practice to keep a paper trail when there are workplace problems because you never know how they could explode.

Dear Good Job: How do I handle my boss’s condescension and focus some of her attention on my positive strengths and successes? She is blunt, harsh, and unprofessional when she delivers her criticisms.

If she won't stop asking for your daily report, you may need to be more direct: "Listen, it's great to see you and I appreciate your help, but I’ve got this".

During the pandemic, I (45/F) used my savings to move to a rural property and live out a dream I’ve always had about having a small hobby farm.

My sister asked if she, her husband, and their children could come and stay with me for a week .

But all four of them were incredibly disappointed when they arrived.
