'temporary kidnapping' I don't want to go to work tomorrow purely because one of my colleagues just now makes me want to walk out and not go back.

[tonyav]

Whats the prob ?

[Psybbo]

We've kidnapped you, Love your avatar, well done, took me ages.

[DTCwordfan]

harassment? hold your horses......more details and you have folk like Prudie who's hot - no not in that sense but then she may be, she's hot on HR legal matters.

[Maydup]

Consider yourself napped kid. Whats up?

[Anngel123]

Have you spoken to your boss? Or HR. It is not worth putting your job at risk just because some idjit is getting on your nerves. Other alternative is to take a chill pill yourself (Rescue remedy is quite good) to help you cope. Good luck. Been there, not pleasant. Whatever you do don't leave until you have something else, then they would have won. (assuming they are being deliberately obnoxious not just accidentally annoying)

I don't want to sound like a 'female dog' but we are really busy but person in question goes around making up stories, saying staff should know better than to do certain things, she goes around muttering negative things and sometimes rude things, the list is endless. Don't get me wrong we do get on but just right now she makes work twice as hard

[petal54]

been there done that!good luck

If you are really perturbed, keep a diary of incidents and remarks - quote as accurately as possible and time/witnesses present, QoM - use a pencil as it shows up that you haven't made changes etc as to your story.......the traders do this as to their deals (known as the book)....

And don't jump until you are ready, replacement job and all that.....as anngel and others say.

[Maydup]

Oh one of those. So exhausting aren't they.

Try sending her to Coventry and if that doesn't quietener her up then take in some laxative chocolates.

[queenofmean]

Thanks Sibton - thats my boys Max and Henry

Lol 2SP -kidnap my colleague would be better.

There isn't much point really in speaking to my boss as when we do we get the same answer but truth be told we all agree he doesn't know what she is REALLY like. I have no intention just to walk out I do want something else just not sure what at the moment. Twice though we have exchanged words because I've had enough of her silly tittle tattle.

[tonyav]

Gawd, I'm glad that I don't work with Maidup ( laxative choc ).

[DTCwordfan]

at least you would be cleaned out for later, so to speak, esp if you are wearing that tartan skirt and lime green directoires.

[tonyav]

Oi DT, don't start that up again lol.

[237SJ]

Sounds like a personality clash then and not bullying so there is not much you can do about it. If she is spreading bad moral around the workplace then it`s up to your boss to have a word. If he/she doesn`t want to then they are being a bit of a wimp.

[queenofmean]

I hadn't thought about that keeping a note of things, will try that.

I think I'd like working with Maid

Unfortunately theres always at least one in every office - I know, I've had to work with that kind for many years, it can really wear you down but it is what they take delight in, so try to ignore and rise above them! Good luck!

[Maydup]

I'm only joking of course, but sometimes these people are relentless with their low level timewasting and pathetic attitudes, yet they never quite do anything drastic enough to warrant action against them. You feel like a tell tail when you describe what they did today but a lifetime of it can grind you down.

[Psybbo]

Actually, maidup, I wish I'd thought of that and the one I'm thinking of deserved it

[queenofmean]

I know. I do try my best most of the time I just uh-huh and nod in the right places and don't listen to what she's saying. But I don't like it when she bad mouths all the other girls. I don't remember the early days but in the last few years it has been hard going. As I said we do get a long just when things are hard going like just now its tough. But I shall just keep trooping on and hope that we are a) in opposite locations and b) too busy to actually know what she's up to
