Tired of being called slapper

MY cruel colleagues never stop taking the mick. They “joke” that I’m thick. They call me a slapper.

When I first started here, I made the mistake of putting myself down and telling stories against myself. Now I’m the butt of every joke. Even our bosses join in, and I dread each morning.

JANE SAYS: This is a big lesson: never give anyone an inch because they’ll happily take a mile.

You’ve got to tell someone you trust that the joke has gone too far. You made mistakes and what you’d like now is a fresh start.

Sadly, if too much damage has been done, then maybe it’s time to move on and reinvent yourself.
