Q: Who doesn't like their coworkers
So I hate mine, I talked to one teacher for 3 months before I came and then I show up and she does not speak, hang out or make any effort. She said before I came we can definitely hang out. There is another teacher and she says she is just here for the check but then says I don't qualify for other jobs because I just want a check. They are bitter because I said I am not a teacher and don't want to pretend. I know English a Tesol and am not certified.
Enough with the middle school vagina monologues. " She totally promised me we would hang out but she totally lied, and the other one is just WORKING TO MAKE MONEY"
I wouldnt hang out with you either. Your a dip shit.
I like my co-workers. Everybody knows each other. Everybody is under 35 apart from the senior team, age is homogeneous. Senior team, we are a handful and we have good interpersonal relationship. They have been educated in the West and worked there for a long time, so we don't cultural issues. Because we are a small company, no feud over projects and funding, we work together with a clearly defined goal. We don't try to rip-off others. The boss doesn't have secrets about the company.
Do you really mean they just don't like you because you're strange and can't make friends?
I've always found a big office or workplace better. In a small office there is often too much back biting, in a big office it's more who you are than what you're doing.
Don't know about you, but for me personally, I work to make money. To pay the bills, buy clothes, food etcetera, and make life a little bit more comfortable. I'm not there to make friends, just do he job to the best of my ability. People you work with are associates, they come and go,just as you do.
A bit complicated (yes I will answer the troll), I work for an educational company from HK with training centers in Mainland China (mostly in Guangdong province), the company has teachers from both HK and the Mainland as well as FTs. Office workers are locals in both cases (Hongkers in the HK head office and local Chinese in the various branches on the Mainland). The centers managers are always Hongkers. I spend around half of my time in HK and the other half in Guangdong, I have a multiple entry working visa but none in HK (thanks they don't stamp passports anymore of I would get a new one every 2 months).
I usually have great chats with the HK teachers and staff, but rarely talk with the Chinese staff and teachers, not that they are bad people but we just don't have the same interests, their social interactions are different from mine, or they simply have no interest to chat with that foreign guy.
My exchanges with the FTs (one or two per branch) remain mostly professional and more often by email, phone, text or instant messenger than in real life.
Don't be a douche, make real friends with real common interests... case closed.
