Mostly a long vent of stuff i have to get of my chest that hopefully someone can at least relate to. I am having some issues at work that I can't completely elaborate on. Basic jist is that my employer of 15 years wants me to resign because I'm currently "not happy" and "over the years there have been periods of unhappiness". Current situation is that my extroverted coworker who was passed over for a promotion in early 2013 has been trying to be my psuedo boss since that time. Since acquiring my current position in 2011 it had been the perfect job up until this "grave injustice" of being passed over. He repeatedly has tried to change my perfectly planned day to interject his own ideas of how he would do it(we work in the field seperately). I would have no problem listening to his suggestions, however, if i didn't do as he suggested he would get very angry and would go behind my back to others involve and intentionally sabotage me. So after dealing with it for nearly a year, I finally went to HR and when all was said and done I was deemed the problem. My coworker rebuttal was that when I was in the office I sat at my desk to much, and did my own things, plus he felt that he had to be a buffer between myself and others and thats why he treated me the way he did. He also felt that he could no longer work with me. I am fortunate that i have a private union job, so they can't outright fire me without taking proper steps. And I have no work performance issues in my file. I was completely shocked and hurt that they decided that I was the problem. I feel like they just don't understand, nor do they want to. Thanks for listening-
