Today, I got a new job. This would've been a good thing, but apparently, the person I'm replacing was very well-liked around my workplace. All of my co-workers hate me now for replacing someone who I don't even know. FML

that sucks but it'll blow over when they get to know you. they sound dumb for disliking you over something you knew nothing about.

Had this happen to me. They apparently worshiped the previous guy. Got compared to him for about a year. No matter what I did, they'd point out how he did it better. I'd handle 5-6 things at once, they'd say how he used to do twice as much.
Another new guy and I started mocking them, comparing the old guy to some sort of folk legend. We'd make up tall tales about how that previous guy could do "Paul Bunyon" scale tasks like rip trees out of the ground with his bare hands, eat them whole and crap full reams of paper for the copier. Eventually our sensationalism made everyone else shut up about the previous employee.

It always sucks to be the new guy.

If you have haters, you must be doing something right. Wrong! Be extra nice and drown them in presents. Buy your friends :D

Co-workers can suck sometimes, OP. Sorry. =/ When I started the job I have now pretty much everyone hated me and I hated them back. Now it's been a year and we're all friends and see each other outside of work. It'll take time but I'm sure they'll grow to like you. Just don't be an asshole and make things worse.

Yea just so everyone knows, that was indeed a dish of sarcasm. Sorry you couldn't handle the heat.
