Not good for your mental health. Sometimes employees need their job and don't have a lot of options.

Eventually senior management got the picture and she left - thank goodness! In the meantime, tho, it was awful.<br /><br />While many others shared my distrust of her, they were not willing to publicly own it, and so I had a reputation of disliking her - which I did, but the disLIKE was based on disTRUST. I found that I needed to <br />1) always have a third person in the room when I had a talk with her, <br />2) owned the fact that we did not get along,<br />3) watched my back and made sure that my supervisor was aware of all contact with her - good and bad, and <br />4) most importantly, I always gave her the benefit of the doubt. <br /><br />It took five years too long, but eventually she showed her colors to too many people. <br /><br />Best of luck in living with this co-worker. It will not be easy.webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.com
