To be sick of having someone doing something

Hello,

Does the sentence below sound natural to you?

- I am sick of having people calling me lazy because I quit my job.

I think that "...having...calling" doesn't sound very good to me. It might do, though, I don't know. I would express the same idea differently, but I wonder if the sentence sounds natural to you.


Thank you.
