I don't know how I'd be a threat to her. As for job duties, it's entirely possible that she wanted my duties and the OM said no. But that's not MY fault. But I know that's not how some people's minds work.J.Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211819677106829508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029299587784890117.post-63296694965624316772013-11-24T02:08:20.142-08:002013-11-24T02:08:20.142-08:00I agree with the idea of documenting the harassmen...I agree with the idea of documenting the harassment/bullying because that is what it could be/become and also with the plan to ask your boss how you are doing.<br />You might then get the opportunity to discuss concerns with how Bubbles is treating you.<br />In my experience, this sort of stuff happens when someone believes you are a threat to them in some waynot displayedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637174135437423585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029299587784890117.post-69911191575555987422013-11-23T19:07:40.123-08:002013-11-23T19:07:40.123-08:00It always amazes me just how terrible it is when a...It always amazes me just how terrible it is when a bunch of women work together.

It's more important to know the boss' opinion more than Bubbles'.J.Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211819677106829508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029299587784890117.post-31039891419719102952013-11-22T17:55:44.751-08:002013-11-22T17:55:44.751-08:00I shall see how it goes.

While she is out of line, I get the idea that the assistant manager emails the OM when these sort of things happen. I know for a fact that complaining makes things worse (been through this before, not necessarily personally, but watched it happen among other co-workers), and I definitely don't want worse.J.Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211819677106829508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029299587784890117.post-9611885152322918852013-11-22T13:15:21.955-08:002013-11-22T13:15:21.955-08:00I am coming to learn that the best answer to someo...I am coming to learn that the best answer to someone complaining about the other guy being lazy is the same answer you give them when they accuse you of farting: "A fox smells his own hole first."<br /><br />I listened to one of our engineers the other day give a perfect description of himself to a newer engineer- only he said it was a third engineer he was describing. I was going to say something to the new engineer about it. But within a week or two of the incident, I heard the new engineer use terms such as "lazy", "sloppy", and "inexcusable" in describing the first engineer. IOW, he got it all on his own.<br /><br />Sounds though like your problem is ingrown. I think I'd go into the OM and ask for a performance review. If there are problems, that's the best way to know. If there aren't, then say, "well, then, why does bubbles keep telling everyone that I'm lazy?" But that's me. A big stick might work well also.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029299587784890117.post-85946216099794268842013-11-22T03:48:53.553-08:002013-11-22T03:48:53.553-08:00I agree with the documenting things part - but not...I agree with the documenting things part - but not about not saying anything. Bubbles is out of line, and needs to learn that her toxicity in the workplace is unacceptable. Not saying anything is going to allow her to continue to run rampant. So what if she knows who complained? Stand up for yourself, hon. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
