I believe I'm doing my job as I supposed to, I don't think I take too long to go help her dept.I am a computer support at this job and I get requests from everywhere, gets really busy sometimes and I also support servers in this building. This supervisor has started complaining about me to other supervisors. This just started recently because she didn't do it before and we've been working here for 5 years. She's not a very professional supervisor to her dept. She sleeps with any guy that she likes. I think she started complaining about me when I said that this guy that works for her, is handsome and that I liked him. I was not serious, I just made a comment. Not sure, but she seems to be jelous. I don't know what to do, she's complained about other people too before but I guess now is my turn.Is this something that I have to improve on? Should I talk to her about it and if I do, should I ask her what is wrong?, should I talk to my boss about it, should I just kiss her butt so that she can be happy., Should I just ignore it? Not really sure what to do.... I will appreciate any suggestions for me.

Maybe try and have a quiet word with her in private about how this is affecting you. If things don't improve then i suggest you go to her boss and explain the situation.

The date and time it comes in, details about the request, a log with date and time on everything you do towards it, fogies of all communication. Signatures from the user saying that it was completed.

 If you have an "Open door policy" at work, I would discuss the problem with her..however, I feel that it won't get resolved with just her alone. So it's in your best interest to seek the help of your Human Resource's/Personal manger so he/she can address this issue. For some reason you don't have that department, then I would do as xlaurenx said and go directly to her boss.

If I were in your position I would first ask to have a meeting with her first to try and address this issue. If she is still difficult and acts unprofessional it would be best to go above her to your boss.
People can't behave like that in a work environment, it is not fair to make unjustified comments and cause friction between a team.
Good Luck. I hope everything comes out ok x

Hi there,
Nip this in the bud before this situation really takes a hold and gets unpleasant. I can't see that you have offended her in any way to warrant this very unprofessional behaviour, this most certainly is not your fault in any way. Has she actually spoken to you about this or just bitched behind your back? Have any of the other supervisors mentioned it to you? If you have tried talking to her to get to the root of the problem and have come up against a brick wall then go straight to your main boss and get him to mediate. Do not ignore it as you will end up stressed and ill. Maybe keep a diary of whats been happening as this is a form of bullying and is unacceptable because at the end of the day if you are competent in you job, then what the hell is she trying to achieve?.
I hope this helps
God Bless
