Line Manager

[baileybird]

I have recently started a new job. I was not told that I would be on line to a particular woman, who I feel is being unfair to me. There are only 5 people working in the office. , who works 3 hours a day more than me.She is constantly trying to trap me and running off to tell my boss that I have not completed this or not completed that. I have twice as many cases to handle as the other new girl and handle my work load swiftly and efficiently. She is driving me mad and making me nervy. She is going through my desk at work after I have left and bring s matters up for discussion on my performance in front of other members of staff.
I have never had any official training and work purely on my experience gained in a previous employ.
What do you suggest

Why not have a quiet word with her as to why she is doing this, and if she is not willing to discuss this with you go to your boss and tell him what is going on and because of this you feel you are being victimised and can`t give of your best because of it. A decent boss will sort her out sharpish.

give her a mouthful....stand ur ground

or just leave, but either way, sort it out cuz it will get u down the longer u do nothing.

good luck....

remember, its only a job.....good ppl can get jobs anywhere

No, don't give her mouthful - do what Shylock suggests.
Write a few notes of the events / circumstances the next couple of times it happens (just to help you explain it) then ask to sit down in a private place with her and calmly and without getting into a heated debate, just explain what you have noted she has done and why you don't think it is reasonable. See what her reaction is. After the event, write your own private notes of the conversation.
If you are not satisfied with her explanation/ commitments, tell her you wish to invoke the grievance procedure. If it is a small company, it probably hasn;t even got one, but it doesn't matter, it should put the wind up here. The grievance proceudre involves you taking your complain the next level of management above - her manager.
Repeat the process with him. You should allowed to explain your side of the story, on your own to him. Obviously expect him to talk to her in private.
At the end of the day the Line Manager above has to help a reconciliation here.
