Some people around the office are close knit and they don't really care for me. I get smirks, snide remarks under their breath, and ridiculed openly...

I know that I could just come in and do my work, but the problem is I've been given tasks that exceed my ability under the guise of this being an opportunity to learn and expand my skills. In other words, instead of starting slow and working my way up -- it seems they've instead given me complicated work so that I flounder and look bad before getting the boot... additional help I asked for was refused.

So, I think making my work just out of reach without training and the constant ridicule about it and in general counts as harassment, but I don't have the money to sue.

My only option would be to leave right?
It is harassment in the literal sense, but yea, it's not the kind of American-style harassment that receives any sympathy.

But yes, I'm starting to realize the only option is to find a new job and hope I don't get fired until then...

I'd rather go out tastefully and just understand why people act the way they do... talking about these problems really only add to the problem.
 
Well, your management maybe behind. Start documenting everything. I worked 12 yrs at a company and they started hiring in managers at a lesser salary. My ex-boss lied, and constantly changed my goals to make it seem like I was failing to try to get me to quit, they finally fired me after I won't quit, tried to bride me with a good reference. Document every conversation, when you asked for work, etc. If you like working there, fight for it but sometimes people are just evil!!! don't care about anyone.
 
they have a boss so go and see their boss and see why you cannot get training on something so you do not cost the firm money
 
Does your company have an HR person? If not, your supervisor's job is to smooth out issues between co-workers. You do have rights but also the responsibility to mitigate (try and work things out) before you can claim damages upon quitting. I would suggest that you speak to your supervisor/HR person and request *in writing* a copy of your job description, keep it on file, and keep a log of each incident and what you did to address the issue. Once they see you aren't just giving up, I think they will mend their ways and you can all work things out. The honus is on BOTH sides to make an honest effort to work things out. Good luck!
