Fear not, help is at hand.  The guys will give you good advice here!

I know exactly what you are talking about - I have been in this job temp to perm since December 2007 and pretty much most of the time it has been like that for me (yep, I do get asked by some of the nicer crowd how I put up with it, but truth to tell I am not sure I take any notice of anything they say or do.  I don't really care what they say or do because in my imagination it would be quite good fun to get sacked for clobbering the little beggars because of incessant and intolerable bullying that HR did nothing about - but that is just a dream!).

It may take a wake up call on their part to realise that you are basically a really nice person and that they have a serious problem with their attitude.

Whatever you decide to do, be it confront or converse, I've got your back!
