So theres this gemini chick at work..I have to work closely with her..the first day I met her, I just knew right away I was not going to like her..she had fake written across her forehead...
2 months on..she's slowly chipping away at my role..Everyone in the office is slowly picking up on the fact that she has a complex of some sort...2 people have picked up that she lies as well..
Now my gripe is that she's pissed me off high time today...one mistake made by our time..and she cannot let it go...every time she needs to chip away at my role, she uses that as a reason..
I am sure everyone is aware of what she's doing..my fellow team member and who i have to work very closely with is an Aries male..he knows exactly whats going on but he's accepts her requests...whereas I am getting to the point where i want to raise this as an issue..
Now take into account, I am still in probationary period, have proved i can do my job, the whole office loves me (they haven't seen my temper yet). Do I raise this with the boss (Capricorn) or do I just hold my tongue and let her make a fool out of herself?
Knowing me, I just can't sit and watch this unfold..by the time she's done, she would've probably got her way on some things that she should not get hold of...
Dilemma..bcause my mind is telling me one thing (hold out till probation is over) but my gut instinct is saying nip it in the bud now with management...
She's really fucking me off...
I have one to one meetings with her..which i keep to a professional level..I have a meeting with her on Monday..I have a feeling I will end up threatening her or at least making her feel very scared in my company...I wonder if being a total stealth bitch is the best way...
You know what...I am going to spike the bitches drink...theres a summer BBQ coming up....I have totally got it in for her...I won't rest until she fucking leaves
"Knowing me, I just can't sit and watch this unfold..by the time she's done, she would've probably got her way on some things that she should not get hold of..."
I totally know what you mean. If it were me, I would bring it up but in a subtle way.. If not, you will just blow up and beat the shit out of her and that may not fly so well w/ your boss..
DTN..really? not even mention it to the bosses?...The Aries guy totally picked up today that I am mega pissed off at her..cos I let out a little Grrrrrr type rant..but only he heard it..nobody else..he's the type of guy who keeps everyone sweet...there has to be a reason why he's doing that..I am sure he has a few things to say about but he's playing the diplomat...Hmmm...What to do..Its really bugging..seriously..I am pacing up and down in my room right now..
missmorals,i know what you are saying by being restless,i have it too,but sometimes,its wise not to cause the commotion. the attention will be on you too,the negative kind that is,and you sure don't want that right now.
mm, here's some things just to ponder .. not advise, just thoughts.
You are new, she is not .. how long has she been there? Meaning .. if the Aries overlooks her, does everybody else? Why?
What you are seeing is how this is effecting YOU and anybody would be irritated .. but, look around at others .. is she pissing them off too? Why not? Or, if she is fucking them, why are they ignoring it? Does she have an inside with the boss?
If she is brown-nosing the supervisor and this is why she is being tolerated .. then IF you say something .. you lose because she is the one who has the boss in her vagina.
** just thoughts to ponder ***
So, maybe the prudent thing to do at this time, is to hang in there keeping your silence and WATCH .. maybe even inquire with co-workers that you've befriended and pose a leading question to her.
Why is the Aries overlooking this? Like you said, there must be a reason.
So, before I got all fired up (being the new kid on the block), I would get a handle on my feelings, put them in check, and then start finding out WHY she is permitted to do this.
I hope you figure this out .. whatever you do, make a decision from your rational and mature mind .. not one that is having an intense emotional moment.
Thanks Archer..I know you mean well..However, subtle for me is very hard work..I make a lot of enemies because I just don't know how to be subtle..But I am trying..
Ok P-Angel...she started a month before me...so she's new...she's not brown-nosing anyone.. People ignore her, because well they don't have to really deal with her as much as I have to on a daily basis...Everyone is slowly picking up that she has a major chip on her shoulder (these are the words of a cappy chick in the office) but the office culture is that nobody bad mouths anyone in the company..which is nice up to a point but it seems that even the bad apples are overlooked..which in my opinion isn't that great..
I just came off the phone to my Cappy friend (remember that lawyer), I know he always gives me sound advice..he said look honey she's getting you all worked up..your making this a personal issue..if you take it to management your going to look the bad party because you've made it personal..so just let it ride, reply back to her requests in a professional manner and copy management into whatever you say to her..they'll pick up on the fact that its been brewing for a while..Don't let her get one over you..she doesn't like you, thats clear, she hates your optimism thats even clearer so she's trying to get you where it hurts most...your career..so be the bigger person, smile and let her have her say..at the end of the day your just doing your job as long as your professional and keep a smile on your face, you will get away with murder..He said "anyone can get along with nice people, the real challenge lies in getting along with the fucking morons you hate sooo much"...That is soooo true..I know why its hard for me..cos she's fake..I have a real issue with dealing with fake people...I can't tolerate them..I don't want to even get a whiff of them..
Fucking cow..
But you guys are right..a level headed professional approach is needed here...but I tell you what...the one on one meetings..the bitch has had it...she has not a leg to stand on..she is in a room alone with me...and she will get a death stare along with the most optimistic responses to absolutely everything she fires at me..thats what will kill her seeing as she's a bitter twisted fucking retard
Well she's defo not sexy, she's defo dumb, manipulative, yes..give you that..playful..well yeah thinks she can smile etc..but she has this smile that is sooooo forced even the dumbest libra could prolly pick that up
"Everyone is slowly picking up that she has a major chip on her shoulder (these are the words of a cappy chick in the office)"
Everything will work out then, mm .. it sounds like you are gaining allies, while she is digging a grave .. you have a pretty good head on your shoulders .. roll with the punches, and soon she'll be gone.
I am looking forward to the meeting on Monday...Ooooh boy...Gonna freeze her with my stare...but I am going to be utterly sweet..thats what kills her the most...Revenge is sweet and all that..I prefer the revenge is blood and gore but alas I've just started this job...we have the summer BBQ yet to come..gonna take some laxatives with me...the bitch has really had it..but I am not going to let her get to me..
Okay, I've encountered co-workers like that. Yeah, they can be real ass-holes. If I were you, I would wait until your probation is over then I'd bring it up to my boss. Youd don't have to tell your boss everything, but you can let him know that there is a problm between you and that gemini. If you don't take care of it, the tension will just continue to rise -- but wait until the time is right (when your probabtion is over). Goodluck!
Well I have another 4 months to go...and I am keeping a track of all her emails where I feel she is stepping on my toes...she isn't being nasty or anything..but you can just pick up the bitterness in her emails..always needs to get the last word in etc..sounds very defensive in her emails and just cannot help but dig up that one mistake our team made 3 weeks ago to justify her reasons for requesting what she does..
my immediate boss unfortunately is based in the states..(as are my team).and is currently off on maternity leave..returning soon..now that woman is scary..if I was tell her whats happening..she wouldn't think twice about telling her where to go..BUT I am going to wait till probation is over then i am having serious words...its a good thing the people around me have picked this up..she continuously shoots herself in the foot..I don't give a shit about her or how she feels about me..but when someone intrudes on my job (i.e. take bits of it) thats going to piss me off high time..I am very territorial of my career..it means a lot to me and I will shoot any motherfucker down that comes my way...have done in the past and will continue to do so..
But thanks all you guys for your advice..I really would'e had words with my manager on Monday..but I shall hold..funny...the other Cappy chick who hates her as well said "don't say anything yet...wait till probation is over"
CGWL: "For all MM knows, she may be being watched and written about by this colleague."
She isn't a colleague..isn't even in the same department or team..but she's the support staff for one of my biggest clients..so I have to interact with her regularly...Anyways..she has nothing on me...she's doing everything out of spite..thats her problem...and I am always joking/laughing around..I feel sorry for her..fucking gerbil...will sort her out good and proper and by conducting myself professionaly...
