Me & my co-worker had it out! (long)

[EricaG]

How did today go at work Jenny? Any better? Any worse?

[JennyK]

It was OK I guess. We still ignored the other for the most part but she did make small talk..very small by asking me how many people we had left for the day..but she said it nice so I answered her nice. We were soooooo busy at work I didn't even have time to be a bitch. Just once did she piss me off and my boss's daughter notice what she did. I was literally standing over her calling her name over and over again and she didn't "hear" me. I just can't WAIT for maternity leave.. ahhhhhh it's not soon enough

I vote that you just kill her with that deadly cold niceness. You know. Polite. Curteous. Responsive. And absolutely no warmth. Don't ask about her weekend. Don't volunteer to do anything (but don't be bitchy if she asks something of you, just tell her that you're soooo sorry, but you're swamped). Don't tell her anything about your life, and if she walks in on another conversation, just say to whomever you're talking with that you'll talk more later. But be totally breezy and happy. It'll drive her bonkers!

Rebecca, have you ever worked as an assassin. So cold! I love it!!

[DanielleNDerek]

I just read this whole thread. And i agree with the she's jealous of you posts. And i really like Rebecca's deadly cold niceness routine. That would probably drive a bitch like that up a wall. That would really piss her off! lol

wow that sux jenny, nothing like tension in the work place! but i do agree 110% with becks! kill her w/ kindness!!!

[Celina]

Yeah - I agree with Becks - I was thinking to kill here with kindness, but that is a whole other level I wouldn't have thought of - way to go Becks!!

It's not worth the damage you are doing to your own reputation. She can be 110% wrong but your boss just wants it to stop and doesn't care who is wrong or right.

I went thru a similar situation and you just have to be the adult and wave the white flag, be professional, and focus on your job.(I work w a major PSYCHO and that is how I deal w her)

The negative tension isnt helping you either.

Good luck!!

I'm trying to be nice but not too nice.. today I offered her one of my precious Reese's PB cups and she declined nicely..and offered me a Twix later lol We're never going to be friends..I just don't want to hate coming into work because of her.
