Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : I started my new job the beginning of January.  I was shown a lot rather quickly - how to certify things, receive goods in, write folders, make travelers, print drawings, get information off customer websites, and do shipment paperwork.

Last week on Tuesday I was very overwhelmed.  I almost quit on the spot.  Supplies (ink and printer paper) were running low and person C told me to order supplies since “the torch has been passed to you”.  I didn’t know what to do and I also had a lot of assignments already so I didn’t have time to order anything.  I asked person C for help and she told me to check my email then went into HR to complain about me and the situation.  I overheard what she was saying.  I went into HR afterwards to explain that I’m overwhelmed and got nowhere - HR and person C are friends.  So I went to the people the hired me, the owners daughters.

I told them I was very overwhelmed.  I also told them that person C weeks ago had said to me “that’s a good way to get fired” when I needed to leave and asked if person K could finish up the last 3 or 4 shipments for me.  I was told “you were never meant to do all the shipments.  We told C this and for some reason you’re still doing all of them”.  So... office meeting called.  End result?  Person C is now doing all the shipments and I’m doing the work the daughters give me with a shipment here and there if I have time.

Since then person C and HR and not been nice to me.  If I talk to them they will respond.  And even then they’re not friendly.  With me doing the shipments C was able to help HR with their work so I guess I ruined their plan to swap work assignments.

I haven’t eaten in the company kitchen since Monday of last week because it’s uncomfortable around those 2.  I’m not happy here anymore because I’m trying to be cordial and professional and they’re making things uncomfortable and petty.

Am I The Asshole for talking to the owners daughters when I was overwhelmed which lead to their work assignments going back to them?  My goal wasn’t to get anyone in trouble, only reduce some of my stress.
