I have worked in many different jobs and have ocassionally encountered people that enjoyed laughing at me. Some of them did not do it maliciously and when I was able to laugh along with them, I was still able to enjoy the job. At one workplace I encountered someone who liked to laugh at other people, as in, took advantage of or laughed at others in order to make herself feel superior. Mostly, I didn't care what she thought about me (who knows) but it drove me crazy to see her do this to other nice coworkers. Confronting her was very stressful because we were coworkers (this is easier for a supervisor to do.)
I would urge you to keep looking for and trying jobs when given the opportunity. Though your fears are possible, they do not always happen. There are many supportive workplaces out there.
