I would agree in general with you

However I have a difficult to pronounce foreign name and a lot of the time people roll their eyes, sigh, just make a noise they imagine is in the language they think my name originates from. They'll laugh, complain etc



It may be that this has happened a lot in your workplace and people are feeling quite down about it and you have been scapegoated. Not fair, but I thought may help you understand and be slightly less annoyed.



Imagine how bothersome it is every single time you meet someone to do a big explanation on how to pronounce it how to spell it, correct them, explain where it's from, reassure them it's ok if they can't say it, have them give you a nick name and tell people loudly it's because your own name is far too difficult for anyone to say etc.
