Advice needed if I should leave or should I stay...

You shouldn't have to go through that, and I say put in your two weeks notice and get a job somewhere else, you don't have to put up with that aggravation. These people are just jealous of you because you have the guts to say something and fight back, and they don't. They are also jealous because you do come from a wealthy area and they don't. Also, many of these people don't see that work isn't really for making friends, it's about learning, making money, and getting ahead. These people obviously don't see that and they will one day see where that mentality leads them.

Hi everafter, I don't know what you've done or why you feel that your coleages are angry with you,but the point is that there is something in your mind that has made you throw a discussion like this.This means there is a psychological problem that directly haunts you.No,you shouldn't allow that to stay with you even if you leave the company.Staying in the same company or leaving wouldn't help.Only discussion with your colleages directly would help.Ask them frankly and directly why they are angry,what attitude or action of yours has created the distance.If you really spilled out with your colleage's wife admit your fault and move on.I'm not saying that this is a fault.But others are afraid of you that you may someday spill out with their wife too.In that case to stay at the same office is risky and you should change company keeping in mind that if you do the same again you may have to change many companies in your lifetime.We are basically a social being.Hence we can't avoid a common attitude or rules that is followed by all.Because all may not have the courage to accept a change and thus a disobeyed action or dynamic action will be treated as wrong.And with this you've to suffer its unwanted consequences.Hence,I think,you better leave the company and shift to other but try to change the attitude that mass can't accept. Thanks God Bless you Happy MyLotting

if you are from the Philippines, just check this site about the 13th month pay and who is entitled to get it. http://www.chanrobles.com/revised13thmonthpayguidelines.htm It says there that even if you are going to resign now, you are still going to have your 13th month pay. That is mandatory by law. I am also having the same problems with my company. The manager said that the lawyer told him that we cant have the 13th month pay but we asked the DOLE about it and they said we should have. Just fight for your right. You can make a complain if they are not going to do something about it.

Work should be a rewarding experience. If you are too pressured or stressed to go to work then that is the signal to leave. If you are after the 13th month pay for the holiday gift-giving then simply bite the bullet and give a deaf ear to whatever you hear. Just focus on that until you find another job after Christmas. P.S. Good job of informing the wife. God will bless you for that!

I think the best is to wait for sometime. Who Knows there might be a change in the attitude of your co-workers after some time. See, One would need one opportunity to shine again. It is kind of same in most of the organization. If you think, running away due to hatred is a solution, or else stick to it. Wait for the change in the tide and move your way to their heart. hope this gives you some idea to rethink the position you are in!!!
