Bullied At Work In Aged Care

I have been working for 18 months and really enjoy my new job. I am 49 years old and stand up for myself or so I thought, but all of a sudden one of the women at work started saying things about me, I'm a pom and I don't deserve to get the things I am getting, how dare I come here and take their jobs, Then I got told she says I don't do my job properly, I don't work with this woman but get all the stories back.

Then another woman I work with started saying who do I think I am, how dare I judge her 18 months ago when I didn't even know her even though I told her this was not true she still calls me a liar.

I have now today been told that they have gone to the boss and stated that they are sick of this hair splitting and fighting. I really have no idea why I am the centre of it all since I have not said anything bad about anyone. Tomorrow I am going to my boss to ask her to have a meeting with all three of these people to see what they have to say to me when they are all in the same room at the same time. I enjoy my job I love the residents but I hate the fact that I am sick every time I come into work because of these three people.
