I just don't understand. Just venting here, nothing more.
I'm an intern but I had to attend a meeting (didn't have to speak), at a 90° angle sat an old employee and next to her, a younger one (late 30s perhaps?). She had something on her screen I couldn't see well because of my vantage point and the reflection of the laptop's screen. She was going through either Facebook or a website, whispers something to the old employee who just laughs and looks at me. The younger one then whispers something to the old one and keeps looking at me. Like wtf? I'm right here.
I can't talk to anyone and even if I did, these 2 would deny it together. Second problem is, they are friends with the boss. I can't leave the job bc I rented my room until October (was cheaper this way per month). I really WISH I'm being paranoid, because I just don't understand what the point is, to joke about someone who is different physically and psychologically, and whose objective fault is zero. I'm very sad… just bc 2 people thought it was funny to make a joke, or 2, or even just laugh about, someone who is clearly different.
That all being said, I have to be fair here. Men also do this, just as much. Males, females, young, old, poor, rich, fat, skinny. The old aren't better than the young and vice versa.
Today though, this incident will be the reason why I'll sleep badly tonight.
