Guest guest Posted April 19, 2002 Report Share Posted April 19, 2002 Hi Stacey I am so sorry that there are people in this world like your co-worker. When I was working, there was one of *them* in every company. The last one to act like that to me stopped doing it after I talked openly about it. I told her to have a kinder heart and told her that frowning causes wrinkles and you use less muscle when you smile than when you frown. We all have to get along in this world and when you work with someone for 8 hours a day, you want some friendiness. I hope she stops treating you that way. Dealing with our illness is bad enough but having someone disrespect you and make all those remarks is not good for the anxiety so if you have to, go to your boss and ask to move your desk. Good Luck to you.

I'm not sure I'd have the nerve to say this to her, but have you thought about politely telling her that since you don't seem to get the info she needs that you'll just tell the clients that she prefers to wait and get the info directly from the clients? It's confrontational, but it throws the ball back in her court. > She's been nasty to me ever since. I've > had it. Any one else ever have to work with someone like this? , she sounds really awful to work with. She doesn't sound like someone who is willing to compromise or take turns with things like the temp and lights. I guess you could try making it sound like you've taken her needs into effect, my mind is blank right now on how to do that. Good luck with her.
